What Are The Best Techniques For Applying AKZENTZ Hard Gel For Long-Lasting Results?

Applying AKZENTZ hard gel correctly can make all the difference between a salon-quality finish and a disappointing result. Whether you're a seasoned nail tech or a DIY enthusiast, mastering the techniques for using hard gel will ensure your nails look fabulous and last longer.

Here's how you can achieve the best results with this popular product.

Prep Is Key

Before diving into the application, prepping your nails is crucial. Clean, dry nails create a perfect canvas for the AKZENTZ gel. Begin by removing any old polish and gently buffing the nail surface. This helps the gel adhere better. Don’t forget to push back your cuticles and trim any excess. Clean your nails with a nail cleanser to remove dust and oils.

Apply a Primer

Using a primer sets the stage for a flawless application. Apply a thin layer of primer to your natural nails. This step is essential as it enhances adhesion and prevents lifting. Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

Base Coat

The base coat provides a smooth surface for the AKZENTZ hard gel and adds strength to your nails. Apply a thin, even layer of base coat gel and cure it under a UV or LED lamp according to the product’s instructions. This layer should be very thin to prevent any bubbling or unevenness.

Mastering the Gel Application

When it comes to applying AKZENTZ gel, less is more. Apply the gel in thin layers rather than one thick layer. Thick layers can lead to issues like uneven curing and increased risk of lifting. Start with a small amount of gel and apply it evenly across the nail, making sure to cover the entire surface and seal the edges. Cure each layer thoroughly before adding the next one. This technique ensures a more durable and long-lasting finish.

Sculpting and Shaping: Get the Perfect Form

If you're sculpting your nails or creating a specific shape, use the AKZENTZ hard gel to build the desired structure. Apply the gel to the form or nail tip, and then shape it as needed. Make sure to cure each layer properly to avoid any mishaps. Sculpting with precision helps achieve the perfect nail shape and enhances the gel's durability.

Finish with a Top Coat: Seal the Deal

Once you’ve achieved your desired shape and thickness, it’s time to finish with a top coat. The top coat not only adds shine but also seals the gel, making it resistant to chips and scratches. Apply a thin layer of top coat and cure it as directed. Wipe off any sticky residue with a nail cleanser to reveal a glossy, professional finish.

Post-Application Care: Keep Your Nails Gorgeous

After the application, taking care of your nails is essential. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals and keep your nails moisturized. Regularly applying cuticle oil can help maintain the health of your nails and enhance the longevity of your gel.

Mastering the application of AKZENTZ hard gel involves careful preparation, precise application, and proper post-care. By following these techniques, you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting nails that look as professional as those done in a salon.
