Aprés is a professional nail brand founded by industry technicians and best known for inventing the Gel-X® nail extension system in 2018. Beyond Gel-X®, the Aprés catalog spans gel polish colors, system essentials, prep and bond products, and professional nail tools — all engineered to work together as one unified line for salons and serious at-home users.
Aprés gel polishes are formulated for compatibility across the system — they bond cleanly to natural nails and to Gel-X® tips, cure under standard UV/LED lamps, and are available in an extensive shade range. The line includes core gel colors, French-manicure tints, finish gels, and select HEMA-free options for clients with sensitivities.
