Soft Gel T-Shape Tips-PT20-CLEAR

Shills Professional Soft Gel T-Shape Tips-PT20-CLEAR are pre-shaped clear soft gel nail extension tips designed to create distinctive, structured T-shape nail enhancements with a clean and contemporary salon appearance. Combining the convenience of a ready-made extension with flexible soft gel construction, these tips provide professional nail technicians with an efficient foundation for creating coordinated nail sets while reducing the amount of manual sculpting required.

The defining characteristic of PT20 is its T-shape profile, providing a fashionable alternative to conventional square, almond, coffin, oval, or stiletto nail extensions. The pre-formed silhouette gives technicians an established starting shape, helping make it easier to achieve a coordinated appearance across the complete manicure.

The CLEAR finish provides a completely versatile canvas for creative nail design. Rather than introducing a predetermined natural or colored base, the transparent construction allows technicians to customize the finished appearance using compatible gel polish, French designs, jelly colors, glitter, chrome effects, cat-eye gel, decals, stamping, rhinestones, crystals, and detailed hand-painted artwork.

Clear tips are particularly valuable for creative manicures where transparency itself becomes part of the design. Sections of the tip can remain visibly clear for glass-inspired nails, negative-space artwork, transparent French effects, jelly designs, or other modern nail-art techniques.

Soft gel construction provides a useful combination of flexibility and professional extension structure. When correctly sized and applied using a compatible soft gel extension system, the tip creates a smooth foundation that can be customized according to the client's preferred manicure.

Because the T-shape is already formed, technicians can concentrate on correct sizing, accurate alignment, clean attachment, and creative finishing instead of constructing the entire extension shape manually.

Whether creating a minimal clear manicure or an elaborate artistic nail set, Soft Gel T-Shape Tips-PT20-CLEAR provide nail professionals with a versatile combination of distinctive shape, transparent design freedom, soft gel flexibility, and efficient pre-shaped application.

Step 1 – Prepare the Natural Nails

Begin with clean and completely dry natural nails.

Remove existing nail products where necessary and inspect the nail condition before starting the extension service.

Step 2 – Prepare the Cuticle Area

Gently push back the cuticles and remove appropriate non-living tissue from the nail plate.

Avoid aggressive cuticle preparation or unnecessary removal of healthy surrounding skin.

Step 3 – Refine the Natural Free Edge

Shape the natural nail according to the requirements of the soft gel extension system.

Step 4 – Remove Surface Shine

Using an appropriate professional nail buffer, gently remove surface shine where required.

Avoid aggressively filing or thinning the natural nail.

Thoroughly remove all resulting dust.

Step 5 – Select the Correct PT20 Tip Size

Choose a T-Shape tip that fits comfortably from sidewall to sidewall.

Do not force an undersized tip onto the natural nail.

Step 6 – Pre-Size All Tips

Select and organize the appropriate size for each nail before beginning attachment.

This helps create a more efficient professional application process.

Step 7 – Prepare the Inside Contact Area

Where required by the compatible soft gel system, gently etch or prepare the inside area of the tip that will contact the natural nail.

Avoid unnecessarily thinning the tip.

Step 8 – Apply Nail Preparation Products

Apply compatible dehydrator, primer, bonder, or other preparation products according to the chosen extension system.

Follow the instructions of each individual product.

Step 9 – Apply Compatible Extension Gel

Place an appropriate amount of compatible soft gel tip adhesive or extension gel inside the contact area of the selected tip.

Use sufficient product for even contact without excessive overflow.

Step 10 – Position the T-Shape Tip

Carefully align the tip with the natural nail.

Place it near the cuticle area without touching the skin and gradually lower it toward the free edge.

Allow the extension gel to distribute evenly beneath the tip.

Step 11 – Check for Air Pockets

Inspect the attachment area before curing.

Make sure there are no obvious gaps or trapped air pockets and that the T-shape is properly aligned.

Step 12 – Remove Excess Gel

If uncured gel has escaped onto the surrounding skin, remove it completely before curing.

Step 13 – Cure

Hold the tip securely in the correct position and cure under a compatible UV/LED nail lamp according to the extension gel instructions.

Complete the full recommended curing cycle.

Step 14 – Check the Extension

After curing, inspect the nail from the top, side, and front.

Make sure the extension is securely attached and correctly aligned.

Step 15 – Refine the Shape if Necessary

Carefully refine the free edge or side areas where necessary using an appropriate professional nail file.

Avoid excessive filing that could unnecessarily alter the distinctive T-shape.

Step 16 – Apply Gel Color

Apply the desired compatible gel polish in thin, controlled layers.

Cure each layer according to the product instructions.

Step 17 – Create Nail Art

Customize the clear T-shape tips with compatible French designs, jelly gel, chrome, glitter, cat-eye effects, stamping, foil, decals, rhinestones, crystals, or hand-painted nail art.

Step 18 – Apply Top Coat

Finish the manicure with a compatible top coat and cure according to its instructions.
