Luxio Blue Effects
Luxio Blue Effects is a professional-grade, 100% pure gel top gloss. It is part of the "Effects" line by Akzentz, specifically designed to add a multidimensional, iridescent blue shimmer to any base color while providing a high-gloss protective seal.
Core Characteristics
-
The Finish: It creates a translucent, blue pearlescent veil. When applied over dark colors, it looks like a deep metallic blue; when applied over light colors, it provides a soft, ethereal blue glow.
-
Pure Gel Technology: Unlike "gel polish" hybrids, this is a pure gel. It will not thicken in the bottle and provides superior strength to the natural nail.
-
No Solvent: It is odorless and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive salon environments.
