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 wear C14-17 over a dark base? Yes, and the line reads strongest that way. Cure a coat of black or a deep solid first, then apply C14-17 and magnetize the second coat. How is it removed? A normal gel soak-off: file the top thin, wrap in acetone, wait, push the softened gel away. Never pry. Color samples and images may vary by monitor. Packaging may vary.
