LAVIS 9D Cat Eyes CE5 - 07 (Ver2) - Gel Polish 0.5 oz - A Breath Of Spring Collection

Playful pink with just enough attitude. Lavis CE5-07 is one of the twelve shades in the A Breath Of Spring drop, milky pastels, petal pinks and jelly nudes: a 9D magnetic cat eye gel that pulls its line when a magnet is held over the wet second coat.

Why techs pick CE5-07

• 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 CE5-07

1. Prep: push cuticles back, buff the shine off, wipe, then cure a thin gel base (Base & Top Gel).
2. First thin coat of CE5-07, 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.

Best for

Lavis pitches the A Breath Of Spring drop for spring. Spring and Easter bookings: pastels with a hidden effect instead of flat pastel color. Clients who find cat eye too flashy: a pastel line reads as a soft glow rather than a metallic streak.

Questions about CE5-07

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.

What does HEMA-free mean here? Lavis formulates CE5-07 without HEMA, the small monomer most often named in gel reactions, and without TPO, the photoinitiator that cures the gel. That is an exclusion, not a guarantee that no one reacts.

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