Natural nail extensions for gel polish

Hi everyone,
What is YOUR go to process for a natural nail client who wants to lengthen a couple of broken nails before a simple gel polish service?

Anybody?? what is your go-to solution?
Hard gel extension, soak off gel extension? tip with structure gel? acrylic?
