Questions about C15-03
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 is my line soft? Timing: cure each nail within a second or two of lifting the magnet. A thin second coat or a magnet held too far away gives a faint line.
How is it removed? A normal gel soak-off: file the top thin, wrap in acetone, wait, push the softened gel away. Never pry.
