Luxio Copper Effects
Luxio Copper Effects is a professional, 100% pure gel top gloss designed by Akzentz to add a warm, metallic shimmer to any base color. It is part of the "Effects" series, which allows nail technicians to transform standard cream shades into iridescent finishes with a single layer.
Core Characteristics
-
The Finish: A translucent top coat infused with delicate copper micro-sparkles. It provides a "sun-kissed" or autumnal glow without clouding the base color underneath.
-
Pure Gel Technology: Being a pure gel (not a hybrid), it contains no solvents or thinners. This ensures it won't evaporate, thicken in the bottle, or dry out the natural nail.
-
Health Conscious: The formula is 10-free, HEMA-free, and odorless, making it safer for both the technician and the client.

Why Professionals Use It
-
Time-Saving Finish: It functions as a finish coat. You apply it as the final step, cure, and wipe away the sticky layer—saving the time of applying a separate clear top coat.
-
Versatility: One bottle creates endless possibilities. For example, applying it over a deep green creates a "Forest Copper" effect, while applying it over black creates a rich, metallic bronze.
-
Professional Control: The specialized Luxio brush features a flat stem for precise product amount control, preventing pooling at the cuticles.
Common Visual Effects
-
Over Black: Creates a vibrant, fiery burnt orange or bronze metallic look.
-
Over Brown: Enhances the depth for a warm, chocolate-copper shimmer.
-
Over White/Cream: Produces a soft, rose-gold or sunset pearl effect.
Pro Tip: While the standard cure is 30 seconds, some professionals recommend curing Copper Effects for 1 minute in a powerful lamp (like the Akzentz Hybrid Pro) to achieve an even higher-gloss, mirror-like shine.
