Akzentz Gel Play Glitter Shifter: Purple Sirene
Gel Play Glitter Shifter Purple Sirene is a professional transformation gel that captures the enchanting, ethereal beauty of a mythical sea siren. Part of the innovative "Shifter" series within the Mermaid Collection, this gel is infused with semi-translucent, color-changing flakes that transition through a captivating spectrum of lavender, silver, and deep amethyst, providing a high-impact "chameleon" effect.
Core Characteristics
-
The Finish: A mesmerizing, multidimensional violet glow. Depending on the light and the base color beneath, the flakes shift from a soft, silvery lavender to a vibrant, royal amethyst. It creates a "shimmering scale" effect that mimics the iridescent reflections of a mermaid’s tail.
-
Pure Gel Formula: This is a 100% pure gel, meaning it is solvent-free and odorless. It will not dry out in the jar, ensuring the purple shifting particles remain perfectly suspended in the clear gel base for a smooth, consistent application every time.
-
Non-Moving Viscosity: The gel features a stable, "stay-put" consistency. This allows for precise placement of the iridescent flakes, ensuring they don't migrate or pool, making it ideal for creating intricate "shell" textures or targeted art accents.

Why Professionals Use It
-
Ethereal Depth: Purple Sirene is a favorite for creating sophisticated "mystical" and "opal" nail art. It adds a layer of shifting light that appears to be trapped deep within the nail, providing a 3D effect without the bulk.
-
Customization Power: It allows technicians to transform any purple, pink, or neutral shade into a custom, high-end iridescent finish, effectively expanding their color palette with a single jar.
-
Ultra-Thin Flakes: Unlike traditional glitters that can feel gritty, these shifter flakes are paper-thin and lay completely flat, allowing the nail to maintain a sleek, professional profile.
Professional Application Tips
-
Base Color Pairing: Apply over a deep Black or dark purple to reveal a striking, dramatic "amethyst flash." For a softer, romantic look, layer it over a nude or pale pink base to create a delicate, shimmering "pearl" aesthetic.
-
Flake Distribution: Use a gel brush to "dab and spread" the product onto the nail. This ensures the larger iridescent flakes are distributed evenly and maximize light refraction.
-
Curing: Ensure a full 30-second cure in a professional LED lamp. This locks the suspension gel and flakes in place, preventing any movement during the top-coating process.
-
Sealing: Finish with a high-gloss top coat like Akzentz Shine-On to enhance the prismatic "fire" of the purple flakes and ensure a durable, glass-like finish.
