Akzentz Options: Aurora Emerald
Akzentz Options Aurora Emerald is a breathtaking, jewel-toned glitter gel that captures the mystical depth of a northern forest. As a centerpiece of the Aurora Collection, this gel combines a rich, forest-green base with multi-dimensional holographic pigments that mimic the shifting lights of the Aurora Borealis. It is engineered for nail professionals who want to deliver a high-impact, "regal" aesthetic with the legendary strength and soak-off flexibility of the Options 100% pure gel formula.
Core Characteristics
-
The Finish: A deep, saturated emerald green infused with "Aurora" holographic particles. The finish is uniquely transformative; in low light, it appears as a classic, sophisticated jewel tone, but under direct light, it erupts into a vivid spectrum of teal, gold, and lime-green reflections.
-
The Options Architecture: This is a 100% pure, solvent-free gel. It provides a durable, flexible coating that protects the natural nail for 3+ weeks without chipping or peeling. Because it is a pure gel, it remains odor-free and maintains a perfect consistency from the first use to the last.
-
Superior Particle Suspension: Aurora Emerald features a mix of fine and medium glitter flakes that remain perfectly suspended in the gel. This ensures that every brushstroke delivers a dense, even distribution of color and sparkle without needing to "fish" for pigments.

Why Professionals Use It
-
Luxury Jewel Designs: Aurora Emerald is the premier choice for "Gemstone" nails. Its depth and clarity make it perfect for creating realistic emerald or malachite-inspired art when layered or swirled.
-
The "Aurora" Effect: Unlike flat green glitters, the holographic shift in this gel adds a "living" quality to the manicure. It moves and changes color with the client’s hands, providing an interactive, high-end experience.
-
Reinforced Art: Since it is part of the Options line, it adds a layer of structural reinforcement to the nail. It is ideal for clients with natural nails who want "bling" without sacrificing the strength of their manicure.
Professional Application Tips
-
The "Velvet Depth" Technique: Apply one coat of Aurora Emerald over a dark base like Royal Onyx or Line-It Black. This deepens the green base and makes the holographic particles "glow" with much higher intensity.
-
Precision Ombré: For a "forest-canopy" fade, apply the gel at the free edge and use a dry gel brush to lightly drag the particles toward the cuticle. The stable Options base allows for a seamless, professional gradient.
-
Encapsulated Brilliance: For the ultimate "3D" effect, apply a layer of Aurora Emerald, cure, and then overlay with a thin layer of Options Crystal Clear. This adds a "lens" over the glitter, magnifying the holographic shift and ensuring a perfectly smooth surface.
-
The High-Gloss Finish: To truly unlock the "Aurora" fire, seal with Akzentz Shine-On. The high-gloss finish acts as a catalyst for the holographic pigments, maximizing their light-refraction capabilities.
