What adhesive do I use with Lavis Soft Gel Tips?

Two options. Lavis Soft Gel Adhesive (brush-in-bottle, smooth + predictable, budget-friendly vs Apres Extend Gel). Or Lavis Builder Gel from the jar (stronger bond, especially on oily or lifting-prone nails). Both work; tech preference + nail condition drive choice.

How long does the half-matte tip wear?

4 weeks with proper prep, adhesion, and finishing top coat. Retention is 90% nail prep, not adhesive brand. Tip itself is durable for the full wear cycle without breakage.

How is Lavis vs Apres adhesion compared?

Both achieve similar retention with proper prep. Lavis = smoother consistency, more budget-friendly, beginner-friendly. Apres = slightly thicker control, higher cost. Retention difference is minimal; the deciding factor is prep technique.

Can I use Lavis Soft Gel Adhesive with non-Lavis tips?

Yes. Lavis Soft Gel Adhesive works with most full-coverage soft gel tip brands. Not locked to Lavis tips only. Strong fit for salons running multi-brand tip inventory.

What shapes and lengths are available?

Coffin, Almond, Square, Stiletto shapes across multiple length tiers (Short, Medium, Long, Extra Long). Most salons stock 2–3 shapes covering majority of client preferences, expanding to specialty shapes for custom requests.
