Every LAVIS product typed as gel colour: the numbered gel polish range, cat eye lines CE1 to CE18, C collections such as C01 Jelly Jamboree and C08 Glass Gala, art gels such as crack gel and Pat Pat gel, and the base and top coats. Bottles are 0.5 oz. Use the filters to narrow the grid by colour, type or availability. Each listing shows its own stock count.
Apply thin coats and cure each one; the C collection listings give 60 seconds under LED or 2 minutes under UV per coat. Start with the LAVIS base coat and finish with a no-wipe top coat, which cures without a sticky layer. LAVIS gel is soak-off: buff the top layer, then soak in acetone to remove it.
LAVIS describes all of its cat eye gels as HEMA-free, and its builder gel range as well. For other colour lines, read the label on each bottle before you tell a client a shade is HEMA-free. HEMA-free does not rule out reactions to other ingredients, so patch test clients with a history of sensitivity.
LAVIS rates its gel for three to four weeks of wear with correct prep and thin coats. When colour fades or lifts early, the cause is usually prep, so push back the cuticle, remove the shine, cleanse and dehydrate before the base coat, and cap the free edge on every layer. Check each listing for stock before you plan a set.
Start with the basics clients ask for, such as a white, a black, a few nudes and a true red, then add a cat eye collection and one or two C collections for trend sets. Every shade has a number, so you can reorder one bottle at a time, or pair the gel, lacquer and powder of the same number, which LAVIS puts at an 80 to 85 percent match.
