LAVIS Builder Gel In The Bottle - B2-24 Velvet Whip - Gel Polish 0.5oz

Velvet Whip is shade B2-24 in Lavis Builder Gel in the Bottle, a sheer natural builder gel that brushes on like a polish and cures into a hard, flexible overlay. Worn on its own under a glossy top it is a 'your nails but stronger' manicure; under a gel color it is the structure.

Why techs pick B2-24 Velvet Whip

• Brush-on builder: polish-bottle control with builder strength; the Ver2 formula is thicker and stays where it is brushed.
• Sheer natural tint: the nail shows through, so it wears alone or under any gel color.
• Formulated without HEMA: stated as what is left out, not as a promise that nobody can react.
• 60 second cure under LED or UV; Lavis quotes up to three weeks of wear. Glossy, odorless, flexible.

How to apply B2-24

1. Prep: cuticles back, buff the shine off, dust, dehydrate. A rubber base underneath gives grip on thin nails (LDS Rubber Base).
2. Thin first coat edge to edge, free edge capped, cure 60 seconds.
3. Build the apex: float a bead at the stress point, let it self-level with the hand turned over, cure 60 seconds. Two building coats are usual.
4. File the shape, buff, dust, then wear it under a glossy top or add a gel color (Base & Top Gel).

Best for

Clients who want their own nails stronger without an opaque cover; thin, peeling or post-acrylic nails that need a flexible overlay; short extensions over a dual form; beginners, because the thicker Ver2 formula forgives a slow hand.

Questions about B2-24

Is this a color or a builder? Both, in the sense that it is a builder gel with a sheer tint. It gives structure, not full coverage; for an opaque color, cure a solid gel over it.

Is it HEMA-free? Yes. Lavis formulates the line without HEMA, the small monomer most often named in gel reactions; that is an exclusion, not a guarantee that no one reacts.

How is it filled or removed? At the fill, file the regrowth flat, prep the new growth and float fresh gel over the nail. For removal, file the bulk down and soak off the rest like a gel; Lavis lists it as easy to remove. Never pry.
