FAQ

Do I need a magnet wand for Cat Eye?

Yes - Lavis Cat Eye contains magnetic particles that only align when a magnet is held 2-3 mm above the wet uncured gel for 5-10 seconds. Without the magnet step, you get a flat shimmer instead of the signature 3D Cat Eye line.

How long does C12 Candy Quartz last?

21+ days of chip-resistant wear with proper prep, base, and No-Wipe Top Coat. Use 2 thin coats rather than 1 thick coat for the longest hold.

What lamp do I need?

Any 36W+ LED lamp at 60 seconds, or UV lamp at 2 minutes. Lavis C12 is soak-off compatible - removes in 10 minutes with foil + acetone.

Is C12 Candy Quartz HEMA-Free?

No - C12 uses standard Lavis Cat Eye formulation for the strongest magnetic effect. Pair with Lavis Builder Gel in the Bottle HEMA Free as base for HEMA-sensitive clients.

You'll also need:

• Lavis Cat Eye Magnetic Wand - required to align magnetic particles
• Lavis Base Gel - preps for full 21-day wear
• Lavis No-Wipe Top Coat - locks the magnetic effect, no sticky layer
