Full tip soft gel extensions, which ones are better and how do they differ, in today’s video we will be comparing Kokoist Gelip vs Apres GelX full tip soft gel extensions. Both sets of soft gel extension tips are full tips that are adhered with gel resin rather than nail glue. Now often, and so very often, this controversial question comes up... Are the tips plastic or are they soft gel? Let’s establish some key points. All tips are made up of some “soft gel type plastic” material because think of it, when have you ever worked with a “hard gel tip”? One that did not particularly soak off? Probably never. Whether your tips came from Amazon or top nail companies like Apres and Kokoist your tips... are both plastic, and soft gel. But generally speaking all tips are soft gel, and soft gel resin is a form of plastic, just like gel polish and acrylic are also of a plastic material. So whether you wear Gel-X, Polygel, Acrylic, you are wearing plastic nails. Watch the video to learn more.

Yay! Thank you!
Apres do not fit like they should, way too expensive too. I don't use anything before applying them, just whatever glue I am going to use. I used to use the pro bond, it made them pop off easily. My tips stay on for weeks...never any issues. Kokoist sound like the better option for sure. Apres lengths are definitely NOT how they claim they are. Extra short are very long! Have to cut them down every time. Shorts are very long as well...I am going to try Kokoist, thanks to this video, it was very informative. I like that I won't have to sand down the tip with Kokoist.
This answers a few questions I had about the Gelip system. Thanks for putting this video out. Also congratulations on reaching 10K.! That's amazing!
Your videos are always so pleasing to the eyes and ears
I needed this information, seriously was just looking for a faster way to do my nails besides sculpting. Thank you!
I love all your work. You make it sound easy and fast. Waiting for the next amazing video. BTW congratulations on the 10k followers.
Congratulations! Be ambitious! I found your videos yesterday and subscribed immediately. I look forward to learning more from you.
Yay!!! Congratulations on the 10k
Thank you for this video! Been trying to decide which to get.
I’m gonna go with Apreś especially after the detail info about each 🤔. This was definitely enlightening. Thank you.
Thank you for all the info! I greatly appreciate all the info! I may switch over for my press on nail business 🤔👏🏼👏🏼😘😘 Thank you! Much love & respect!
Yay! Congrats on 10K subscriber's!! Here's to 100k!

This was great information. I didn’t know you all the prep products (dehydrating or bonder) for Japanese systems.
I would love to try gelip I already use apres
Thank you so much for all the info It helped so much!
this is such helpful information thank you!
I like the characteristics of the Gelips, so I'm going with Kokoist!
Congrats on 10k
I have to get the kokoist gelip for myself. You've just helped me decide. Thank you for doing this video ☺️ and congrats!

Hi Poala I am so happy to find you did a video on this! I wanted to know would you be able to do a video on Solid Gel nail bond(example Vettys Solid Gel) on the full tips? I hope this finds you well, new Subie👩🏽💻
I got to experiment more. Im still learning with gels
Will be trying these products!
Awesome video thank you
How many time can u fill in the gelip. Thank you paola❤
Any tips on getting air bubbles out and getting under the lamp quickly when applying on yourself? I struggle so much with this.
Hi Paola, I have a round and high apex nail bed , do you think kokoist would work? Thanks
I just had surgery on my arm and I am missing my acrylic nails so much. I am hoping one of these options will be an easier option until I can start doing acrylic nails again.
I’ve actually found apres to be a little too thick for my liking and feel like I do need to finish file around the edges of the tip to really refine them. I’m excited to try gelips!
I just found you...so happy...wanting to start making and selling press ons so I'm clinging to every word you say...I'm hoping to win the giveaway...
I'm definitely leaning toward Gelip after this video.

Out of curiosity for myself and my choice, what made you decide on Gelip?
Can you can use the platinum duo to overlay on top of the mega stick? I can’t see why not but always thankful for a pro’s advice. Thanks for the video and congrats on 10k, I’m happy to be one of them!

Thanks for that helpful comment, Jaye. I have short fingers, short nail beds and require short nails. I also like square, which will mean me purchasing the medium and filing down quite a bit. I would love so much to be able to leave the perfectly manufactured tapered free edge, but it's never quite in the cards for me. I do like that Gelip has a more tapered cuticle area already.
This is extremely informative. I can't wait to try the gelip. Im a semi-new subscriber and I love receiving your emails and watching your videos ❤❤❤❤

have you heard of diami canoe/corn tips system? they work the same way it seems but the price seems higher 🤔 I'm one for using the "dupe" method as it is super budget friendly allowing for more budget for colors 😂
I love Apres but I think I might give Gelip a try!

Goood, just remeber you have to thinly overlay Gelip.
I actually have both, but they both constantly lift a day or two later. I don't have apres extend gel but I have the bonding duo. I don't know what im doing wrong. Have you tried the new kokoist gel with the apres?

I saw a KZreadr bound the full cover tips with acrylic could that be done with the gelip tips being that they are on the thinner side ?

Hello Paola, Thank you for this video. I see that you always use 90% alcohol but I can’t seem to find it here in the US. I always see 70% or lower (which I know is a newbie mistake 😉) since I always see 91% or 99%. , What would you recommend?

91 & 99 are good :) Newbie mistake! Hehe yes!
I’m a huge fan of apres gel x I love their shape and durability and their variety of shapes and colors . I’ve tried the 123 go from enailcoture and was not happy with them at all, so flimsy, I’d like to try the kokoist ones though, are they as durable as the apres gel x nail tips?

Hi Sarah, I am from Germany and I had a quick email-conversation about having a distribution in Europe with Kokoist 2 weeks ago, since I am ordering as well one company from the UK (TGB), I was wondering "IF" kookiest may have a distribution in the UK. The answer was copy/paste: We will have a distributor in the UK sometime next month as well. Hope this was a lil' help :-) but you know you can order international from kokoistusa, greetings from Germany Simone
