Questions about C06-05

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.

Can I layer C06-05 over a cream color? Yes. One coat over a cured solid adds the cream and shimmer browns finish to that color; two coats over bare base give the look Lavis designed.

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