My Personal Experience

When I first got Gel-X nails, I was impressed with how natural they looked and how long they lasted. However, after a few weeks, my nails started to grow out, and I knew I needed a fill. I was hesitant to get one because I wasn’t sure if it was possible with Gel-X nails.

After doing some research, I found out that getting a fill with Gel-X nails is indeed possible. However, it is a bit different from getting a fill with traditional acrylic or gel nails.

How to Get a Fill with Gel-X Nails

When you get a fill with Gel-X nails, the process is similar to getting a full set. However, instead of applying the soft gel to your entire nail, the technician will only apply it to the new growth area. This is because the soft gel cannot be applied to the hardened gel that is already on your nail.

After the soft gel is applied to the new growth area, it is cured under a UV lamp. The technician will then file and shape your nails and apply a topcoat to give them a shiny finish.

It is important to note that Gel-X nails cannot be filled indefinitely. After a few fills, it is recommended to remove the entire set and start over with a new set.
