"New to Gel-X®? Start Here. If you're just beginning your Gel-X® journey, Extend Gel Novice is the perfect starting point. Specially formulated for beginners, this unique gel makes the application process easier, more controlled, and far less intimidating. Beginner-Friendly Formula Extend Gel Novice features a thick, putty-like consistency that gently holds the Gel-X® Tip in place. This added stability gives new users more time to: Adjust the tip position Correct alignment Prevent sliding or shifting With its slower flow and higher viscosity, it’s easier than ever to create clean, precise applications—without rushing. No More Overflow or Tip Slipping One of the biggest challenges for new Gel-X® users is avoiding gel overflow and keeping the tip secure while maneuvering under a lamp. Extend Gel Novice solves both issues by allowing you to let go of the tip before curing—it stays put without sliding out of place. This gives beginners extra confidence and control during every step of the process. Gentle, Reliable, and Easy to Remove Extend Gel Novice is: HEMA-free Safe and gentle on natural nails As easy to soak off as the original Extend Gel Pair it with our Neutrals Gel-X® Tips and Heavenly Top Gelcoat for a smooth, effortless, polished finish."
