Yes. It cures under a UV or LED lamp. LAVIS builder gels are made for a low heat spike, but cure in stages on thick layers.
Is it HEMA-free?+
Yes. LAVIS makes its builder gel lines without HEMA. Read the label if a client has known sensitivities.
How long does it last?+
Up to 4 weeks with proper prep and application.
Do I apply color before or after the builder?+
After. Builder goes over the base, then you shape it, and color goes on top before the top coat.
