Frequently asked questions
Are Options gels cruelty-Free and vegan?
Yes. All Akzéntz® products are cruelty-free and are never tested on animals. They are also vegan, containing no animal-derived ingredients.
Do Options gels require a base coat?
Yes. For optimal performance, all gels should be applied over a base coat.
When working within the Options™ system, Opti-Bond is recommended as the dedicated hard gel base, specifically formulated to support maximum bond and long-term wear.
Do Options gels require primer?
No. Akzéntz gels are formulated and tested to deliver optimal wear without relying on primer. All Akzéntz systems are considered primerless systems, relying on balanced gel chemistry rather than aggressive adhesion agents.
Primers such as Affixit or Sure-Bond may be used at the discretion of the nail professional, or in cases of clients with extreme retention challenges.
How do I know what gel to use?
Gel selection is based on two factors: your personal working preference and the client’s desired length.
For longer extensions, a thicker-viscosity gel such as Balance offers greater control. For shorter lengths or overlays, a thinner-viscosity gel like Trinity™ or Enhance provides more self-levelling and fluidity.
Each Pro-Formance™ gel delivers the same level of strength, the difference lies in viscosity, allowing you to choose the texture that best suits your technique and the service being performed.
What is the curing time?
All Akzéntz® gels are optimized for complete curing in 30-seconds when cured under an Akzéntz LED curing light such as the Hybrid-Pro 2.0.
Can I cure with other lights?
Akzéntz® gel systems are optimized and laboratory tested for complete, reliable curing when used with Akzéntz® curing lamps.
While many high-powered professional lamps may successfully cure our gels, results cannot be guaranteed when using alternative lights. Curing performance varies significantly by lamp intensity and wavelength, and lower-quality or underpowered lamps may not fully polymerize professional-grade gels.
For assured performance, safety, and long-term wear, Akzéntz® lamps are recommended.
