Akzentz Gel Play Glitz: 24K Gold Leaf
Gel Play Glitz 24K Gold Leaf is a high-performance, professional art gel designed for maximum brilliance. Unlike standard glitter gels, the "Glitz" formula features ultra-fine metallic flakes suspended in a clear base, creating a super-saturated, foil-like effect that mimics the look of real gold leaf.

-
Finish: A high-reflection, mirror-like finish that lies perfectly flat on the nail surface.
-

Professional Application Tips
-
Preparation: Apply over a cured base or color coat. Ensure the surface is smooth to allow the metallic flakes to lay flat.
-
Application: Use a dedicated art brush to pick up a small amount. For full coverage, "float" the gel across the nail to keep the flakes aligned.
-
Detailing: Its non-moving consistency makes it perfect for crisp smile lines or abstract metallic accents.
-
Sealing: Once cured, it must be sealed with a high-gloss top coat (such as Akzentz Shine-On or Luxio Gloss) to protect the metallic finish and provide a smooth surface.
Pro Tip: If you find the consistency too thick for ultra-fine detail work, you can mix a tiny drop of Luxio Gloss into the gel on a palette to thin it out without losing the metallic brilliance.
