LAVIS soft gel tips are full-cover clear tips with a half-matte, pre-etched inside, so you do not need to etch or file the inside of the tip before you apply it. They come in coffin, almond, square, oval and stiletto shapes in several lengths, as full boxes with a range of sizes or as refills of 100 pieces in one size, so you can top up the sizes you use most. Each listing shows the shape, the length and how many sizes the box holds, such as 10 or 12 sizes.
LAVIS Soft Gel Tip Adhesive is made for this system and comes in 15 mL and 30 mL sizes with a brush. It cures in 60 to 90 seconds depending on your lamp and leaves a tacky layer you do not wipe. The LAVIS adhesive also works with most tip brands. Retention depends mostly on prep, so clean, dehydrate and lightly buff the natural nail before you apply the tip. It gives a smoother, beginner-friendly feel.
With careful prep and the LAVIS adhesive, a set is listed for three weeks or more of wear. Size the tip so it covers the nail from side to side without pressing on the skin, and cap the free edge with your colour and top. For removal, buff off the top layer, then soak in acetone until the tips soften and lift them away gently. Check each listing for stock.
Start with the shapes your clients ask for most, often a medium almond and a medium coffin, in a full box so you have every size. Then buy 100-piece refills for the sizes you use fastest, since most hands use the middle sizes more often than the very small or very large ones. Check each listing for stock and for the number of sizes in the box.
