Step 1: Nail Preparation
Begin by thoroughly prepping the natural nails: cleanse with Akzéntz Prep & Wipe, push back or remove cuticles, and buff the nail plate removing all shine, we recommend a 180 grit file. 

Step 2: Base Application
Apply a thin, even layer of Luxio® Base, or X-Bond to the centre of the nail, carefully pushing the brush up to the cuticle without touching it. With a light hand, smooth the base down towards the free edge, ensuring full coverage of the nail plate. Cure for 30 seconds.

Step 3: Colour Application
Using the same technique as the base application, apply Black-On by pushing the brush up towards the cuticle and evenly pulling it down over the nail. Cure for 30 seconds. Due to the extremely heavy pigments, and the solvent-free formula, we recommend occasionally stirring Black-On before use to achieve the maximum coverage.

Step 4: Apply Effect Powder
After curing is complete, work quickly and rub a generous amount of Gel Play Pearlescent Powder (or the effect/chrome powder of your choice, using a cosmetic applicator or a gloved finger. Use firm pressure.

Step 5: Finish
Complete the service by applying Luxio® Gloss for a long lasting glossy finish. Cure for 30 seconds, then remove the sticky layer with Akzéntz Prep & Wipe. If a tack-free top gloss is preferred, use Akzéntz Shine-On. A matte effect can also be achieved by using Akzéntz Matte-On.
