LAVIS 9D Cat Eyes CE13 (Ver2) - 08 - Gel Polish 0.5 oz - Moonlit Mirage Collection

A blush nude ceramic: that is Lavis CE13-08, shade 8 of the twelve in the Moonlit Mirage drop. The palette is milky ceramic neutrals and pinks with a moonlight sweep, and every bottle carries the 9D magnetic pigment that forms a streak under a cat eye magnet.

Why techs pick CE13-08

• 9D magnetic cat eye: the closer the magnet is held, the sharper and deeper the line, in Lavis's words.
• Formulated without HEMA and without TPO: stated as what is left out, not as a promise that nobody can react.
• 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) salon bottle with a high-gloss, high-transparency finish.
• 60 to 90 second cure under a UV or LED lamp; Lavis quotes up to 21 days of wear with proper prep and a top coat.

How to apply CE13-08

1. Prep: push cuticles back, buff the shine off, wipe, then cure a thin gel base (Base & Top Gel).
2. First thin coat of CE13-08, cured 60 seconds, no magnet.
3. Second, slightly fuller coat. Before it cures, hold a cat eye magnet about 2 mm above the wet gel for three to five seconds without touching it.
4. Cure that nail at once, one nail at a time; the pigment drifts as soon as the magnet moves away. Full cure 60 to 90 seconds.
5. Seal with a glossy gel top coat and cure. A dark cured underlayer makes the line read stronger.

Lavis pitches the Moonlit Mirage drop for all year. Clients who like the ceramic-nail trend: the milky bases give that opaque, glazed look. Low-angle magnet looks: the glow spreads instead of forming a hard line.

Questions about CE13-08

Is a magnet included? No. Every Lavis cat eye shade needs a magnet, sold separately; any bar, stylus or dual-line nail magnet works and ours are in the Magnet collection. Without one the gel cures as an even shimmer.

Can I wear CE13-08 over a colored base? Yes. Cure a coat of black or a deep neutral first and the magnetic line reads strongest; over its own base the shade keeps more of its color. Wear and removal are the same either way.

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