Professional Gel-X nail extensions near Florida Mall — soft gel tips that are lightweight, flexible, and natural-looking. Starting at $80+.
A-List Nails & Spa Orlando offers professional Gel-X nail extensions near Florida Mall, Oak Ridge, and Sand Lake. Our licensed Florida nail technicians specialize in lightweight, natural-looking Gel-X extensions designed for flexibility, durability, and flawless finishes — a modern alternative to traditional acrylic for clients who want length without the weight.
Every Gel-X service is performed under medical-grade sanitation standards with autoclave-sterilized tools, disposable liners, and single-use files — and backed by our 5-day guarantee.
Gel-X is a soft gel extension system that uses pre-shaped gel tips adhered to the natural nail with a gel adhesive and cured under an LED lamp. Unlike traditional acrylic, Gel-X requires no drilling, no harsh monomer odor, and no sculpting — the tips come pre-formed and are customized through shaping and filing after application.
The result is a lightweight, flexible extension that looks and feels natural. Gel-X tips are also soak-off removable, making them gentler on the natural nail during removal compared to hard acrylic. They're ideal for clients who want added length and strength without the heaviness or rigidity of a traditional set.

Yes. Gel-X extensions work beautifully with nail art including ombré, chrome, gems, foil, French tips, and hand-painted designs. Nail art pricing varies by complexity — consult your technician for an accurate quote.
Gel-X extensions are typically replaced as a full set rather than filled, since the soft gel tips cannot be traditionally filled like acrylic. Your technician will recommend the best maintenance schedule for your nails. Book your appointment →
