LAVIS C03 - 03 - Gel Polish 0.5 oz - Pretty in Pearl Collection

Lavis C03-03 is opalescent dreamy lilac pearl, one of 24 in the Pretty in Pearl line. The palette is 24 iridescent opal shades with a color-shifting pearl shimmer, the finish pearl and opal, and the coat count sets the look: two thin pearl coats; a third deepens the opal glow on the lighter shades.

Questions about C03-03

What does HEMA-free mean here? Lavis formulates the C-series without HEMA, the small monomer in most gel products and the one most often named when a client reacts to gel. That is an exclusion, not a guarantee that no one reacts.

Why does the finish look patchy? Coats that are too thick or not cured between layers. Keep each coat thin, cure 60 seconds after every one, and cap the free edge on the first.

How is it removed? A normal gel soak-off: file the top thin, wrap in acetone, wait, push the softened gel away. Never pry.
