PRIMA-HGX : Northern Lights Collection

PRIMA-HGX Northern Lights Collection

Inspired by the mesmerizing aurora borealis and named after legendary Viking warriors, the Northern Lights Collection features three stunning magnetic effect shades that deliver an unprecedented level of shimmer and brilliance.

The Collection

• HGX Thora - A delicate gold magnetic sheen reminiscent of the softer golden hues dancing across Nordic skies
• HGX Freydis - A rich, darker gold magnetic effect that captures the intensity of the aurora at its peak
• HGX Estrid - A striking silver magnetic effect that mirrors the ethereal silver-white lights of the northern nights

Professional Review

Renowned Ukrainian nail artist Arina, who has built a highly respected product testing and review presence on Instagram, was completely captivated by the Northern Lights Collection:

"I've reviewed quite a few cat eye gels from different brands, and each of them is great in its own way. But I'm just blown away by these. I've never seen anything like this before.

Such shine, such shimmer. It's so incredibly intense that you genuinely don't need any kind of base underneath it. Absolutely nothing at all.

You simply apply it directly on a clear nail or a clear surface. And that's it. I'm honestly shocked.

I'm just thrilled. I want everyone to have this."

Exceptional Magnetic Intensity

What sets the Northern Lights Collection apart is its extraordinary pigment concentration and magnetic particle intensity. The result is a luminous, dimensional effect so powerful that it eliminates the need for a colored base - simply apply directly over your clear base for stunning results.

PRIMA-HGX is a new innovation from the hypoallergenic experts, IKON.IQ. Based on a hypoallergenic, low viscosity hard gel formula that is designed to provide the strength of a hard gel with the application speed of gel polish.

HGX compared to gel polish - faster, stronger, safer

In comparison to gel polish and gel polish builders, PRIMA-HGX "Hard Gel Xtra" has several advantages. Hard gels are stronger than either standard gel polish or gel polish builders, to providing more support for weak nails and less risk of damaging the natural nail in use. And because hard gel is not porous, the risk of staining is much lower compared to gel polish that has to be porous for it to be soaked off. 

Removing product by filing off also has several advantages compared to soaking off. It is significantly quicker - especially when soaking off gel polish builder products, and it also reduces the risk of allergies - often caused by uncured ingredients becoming dissolved in acetone and coming into skin contact. 

Hypoallergenic

PRIMA-HGX following the IKON.IQ tradition of having a unique hypoallergenic formula to help protect the health of the Nail Technician and their salon clients. 

Hypoallergenic gels and gel polishes do not contain HEMA or ANY of the ingredients included in a dermatologists methacrylate patch test that are higher risk allergens. In addition, PRIMA does not use any ingredient that has been medically proven to cause allergies when used in nail products. 

Hypoallergenic products are designed for allergy prevention only. There is no guarantee that someone with a significant number of ingredient allergies who has a developed a highly sensitive immune system will not react - if they do, that is generally the end of their career. 

What about HEMA-free products?

Unfortunately, the replacement for HEMA may also be a higher risk allergen or the products may contain other higher risk allergens. HEMA-free is generally better than using products containing HEMA, but HEMA-free does not mean hypoallergenic and may well contain other risks.
