—Welcome
Short or weak nails can make it difficult to achieve the length, shape, or structure you want. Nail enhancements provide different ways to add length or reinforce the natural nail, with the right option depending on your nail condition, desired look, and preferred maintenance.
A-List Nails & Beauty Studio offers acrylic, Aprés Gel-X, builder gel, and dip powder services in one Orlando salon. Florida-licensed nail technicians can help compare the options based on factors such as length, structure, application method, and finish before the service begins.
Autoclave-sterilized tools and clean service practices are used throughout the salon. Acrylic services use EMA-based products, and enhancement appointments can include new sets, fills, overlays, and removal based on the condition of your existing product and natural nails.

—Our Menu
Choose an enhancement based on your preferred length, shape, level of structure, finish, and maintenance needs. Options include acrylic, ombré, pink and white, color acrylic, Aprés Gel-X, builder gel, dip powder, and enhancement removal.
Acrylic adds length and structure using liquid monomer and powder. Your technician builds and shapes each nail, refines the apex and sidewalls, and finishes with your choice of polish. Fills address new growth and help maintain the existing set. Full sets start at $46+ and fills at $41+.
Ombre acrylic blends two shades into a gradual color transition across each nail. The shape is sculpted first, followed by the color blend from the base toward the tip. This style works well with coffin, almond, and stiletto shapes. Full sets start at $71+ and fills at $61+.
Pink and white acrylic creates a built-in French appearance using a natural-toned pink base and white tip. The two-tone structure provides a clean, classic finish suited to weddings, professional settings, and everyday wear. Full sets start at $71+ and fills at $61+.
Acrylic French creates the traditional French look directly in acrylic, rather than adding gel polish over the finished enhancement. The pink base and white tip are sculpted into the nail for a defined finish. This service starts at $91+ at the Orlando salon.
Color acrylic builds the selected shade directly into the enhancement using colored acrylic powder. Because the color is part of the acrylic structure, it doesn’t require a separate polish layer. This option provides a solid, colorful finish with choices that can be matched to your preferred shape and length. Ask for current pricing.
Aprés Gel-X uses pre-shaped soft gel tips fitted to the natural nails, secured with gel adhesive, and cured under LED light. The system provides added length without liquid monomer and can be shaped to your preferred style. Gel polish is included, with full sets starting at $80+.
Builder gel creates a flexible structure over the natural nail or added length, using the Luminary Gel System and LED curing. Your technician builds the product in layers, shapes the apex, and refines the finish. Overlays can reinforce natural nails without adding length. Full sets start at $71+ and fills at $61+.
Dip powder combines resin and colored powder layers to create a structured, polished finish without UV curing during the powder application. Options include standard dip from $56+, removal from $61+, tips from $66+, and removal with tips from $71+.
Acrylic toe enhancements provide added structure and color, while gel polish offers a cured finish over the natural toenails. Acrylic toe sets start at $61+ and gel polish toe sets start at $71+. Both can be paired with a spa pedicure for added foot care.
Existing enhancement product should be removed carefully rather than pulled, pried, or scraped from the natural nail. Your technician uses the appropriate removal process for the product, loosens the material, and prepares the natural nails for another service or a break from enhancements. Ask for current removal pricing.

—The Process
Start by sharing your current nail condition, existing product, preferred length, shape, and finish. Your technician can explain the differences between acrylic, Aprés Gel-X, builder gel, and dip powder to help identify an option suited to your nails and desired result.
Nail preparation and cuticle care come first. Depending on the selected method, the product is sculpted, layered, bonded, or dipped. Each nail is then shaped and refined to the requested style, including coffin, almond, stiletto, square, or squoval.
The final step adds regular polish, gel color, or built-in enhancement color. French tips, ombré, chrome, gems, and custom nail art can also be added. Your technician can explain basic aftercare and discuss when removal, a fill, or a fresh set may be appropriate.
Nail enhancements can stay neat and comfortable with simple daily care. Protect the natural nail by avoiding excessive pressure on the tips and wearing gloves during cleaning or other chores that involve water and household products.
Regular maintenance also helps prevent small issues from becoming bigger problems. Pay attention to lifting, breakage, or visible nail growth, and have existing product removed properly instead of peeling or pulling it away.
Your daily routine can help determine which nail enhancement works best for you. Short nails, frequent chores, work demands, travel, and special events may call for different levels of length, structure, and upkeep.
Builder gel can add support to shorter or weaker natural nails without adding significant length, while Aprés Gel-X offers added length with lightweight soft gel tips. These options can suit clients who prefer a more natural feel or are new to nail enhancements.
Acrylic gives you more control over length and shape, with options such as coffin, almond, stiletto, squoval, and ballerina. For travel, events, or a polished everyday look, dip powder provides durable color, while Gel-X and builder gel offer added length or reinforcement based on your needs.
—The A-List Difference
Florida DBPR-licensed technicians provide acrylic, Gel-X, builder gel, and dip powder services. Each appointment includes careful nail preparation, shaping, application, and appropriate product removal to help maintain the natural nails.
A-List Nails & Beauty Studio uses EMA-based acrylic products, genuine Aprés Gel-X tips, and the Luminary Gel System for selected enhancement services. Product choice depends on the enhancement method, desired length, and preferred finish.
Autoclave-sterilized tools, disposable supplies, and established sanitation practices are used throughout the salon. Tools and work areas are prepared between appointments to support a clean setting for each nail enhancement service.
Your technician checks the condition of the existing enhancement before suggesting a fill, repair, removal, or new set. Growth, lifting, cracks, and product wear can help determine the next service needed for your nails.
Choose your preferred nail enhancement, shape, and length, then mention any existing product that needs removal. Walk-ins are welcome, and you can book online or call 407-826-1511 to ask about same-day availability.
