Akzentz Gel Play Glitz: Pewter Quartz

Gel Play Glitz Pewter Quartz is a professional art gel that delivers a sophisticated, cool-toned metallic finish.¹ Part of the specialized "Glitz" line, this gel features ultra-fine metallic flakes in a deep gunmetal base, creating a "liquid foil" effect that is far more dense and opaque than a standard glitter gel.

Core Characteristics

• The Finish: A brilliant, high-reflection smoky silver foil. It mimics the look of polished pewter or crushed quartz gemstones, providing a sleek, industrial sparkle that offers a more modern and edgy alternative to traditional bright silver.

• Pure Gel Formula: This is a 100% pure gel, meaning it is solvent-free and odorless. It will not dry out in the jar or thicken over time, ensuring the consistency remains buttery and easy to work with.

• Non-Moving Viscosity: The gel has a thick, "stay-put" consistency. This allows for total control during application, as it won't run or flood the cuticles, making it ideal for detailed nail art.

Product Performance

Why Professionals Use It

• High-End Detailing: Its intense pigmentation and stable viscosity make it a top choice for fine-line work, geometric patterns, and bold metallic French tips.

• Efficient Application: You can achieve a solid metallic look without the mess of loose glitters or the extra steps of using transfer foils.

• Versatility: While designed for art, it can be applied over the entire nail for a bold, statement finish or used to create subtle "glitter fades" that look like liquid metal melting into the base color.

Professional Application Tips

• Placement: Use a firm art brush to "paint" your design. For full-nail coverage, use a flat brush to "float" the gel across the surface so the metallic flakes lay flat and maximize the mirror-like shine.

• Curing: Ensure a full 30-second cure in a professional LED lamp. High pigmentation requires a strong light source to cure thoroughly through the dense flake layer.

• Sealing: Must be finished with a high-gloss top coat (such as Akzentz Shine-On) to protect the metallic particles and ensure a smooth, long-lasting finish.
