Yes. For optimal performance, all gels should be applied over a base coat.

When working within the Pro-Formance™ system, Adhere is recommended as the dedicated hard gel base, specifically formulated to support maximum bond and long-term wear.

Trinity™ features a 3-in-1 formula, allowing it to function as a base, builder, and gloss. When using Trinity, apply a thin initial layer—much like a traditional base coat—before proceeding with your builder layer. This technique enhances adhesion and helps reduce curing heat.

For clients prone to lifting, Adhere remains the preferred choice, offering a stronger, more resilient bond.

No. Akzéntz gels are formulated and tested to deliver optimal wear without the use of a 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.

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.

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

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.

Yes. Pro-Formance™ gels are available in TPO-free formulas, clearly identified in the product name as (TPO-Free).

For clients within the EU, only TPO-free formulations are available, in alignment with regional regulatory requirements.

All Pro-Formance™ gels are HEMA monomer-free, with the exception of Ultra Gloss and Formation White. These two products contain very small amounts of HEMA, well below globally accepted regulatory limits.

As with all professional systems, proper application, curing, and removal protocols should always be followed.
