As a nail architect who has been in the industry for 10+ years, I have always been impressed with the newest innovations from Aprés Nails®️, especially since their launch of Gel-X). With their newest drop, I can honestly say these two items are an absolute MUST HAVE for your kit! Whether you are a stationed or traveling nail artist, these will definitely cut the timing of services and enhance your clients experience. Not to mention the packaging design is SO chic and luxurious (I’m always a black and gold girlie) so this definitely fits my aesthetic! The Aprés E-File has so many amazing features: LED Screen to show the power & functions Pause Button Forward & Reverse Motion Smooth RPM Control (35k) with a brushless motor (literally the lowest vibration and sound) Ergonomic Handpiece for comfort (we know how important this is!) The Aprés Nova LED Lamp: Where do I begin with this one?! This multi-function LED lamp, not only cures gel, it also has a cooling fan as well as RED LIGHT THERAPY!!!! It also has a hybrid function (Pink Mode) for optimized curing and reduced skin exposure The Red Mode is for RLT which has no curing effect, yet is great for a 20 minute service for skin rejuvenation & brightening! Think of a facial for your hands! You also have the options to turn the sounds and fan ON/OFF The bottom is also removable for PEDICURE mode (even has kickstands!) If you have ever been serviced by me then you know I am always doing what I can to enhance and elevate my clients experience and these two are game changers! #AprésPartner #AprésNails #NovaLEDLamp #AprésEfile #FutureOfNailTech #ApresGelX
