DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 026 Greek Villa

DND 026 Greek Villa is a milky taupe from DND”s HEMA & TPO Free line. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.

In DND”s words: Somewhere between a holiday postcard and lying out on the beach, this sheer taupe keeps things sunlit and easy with pink neutral undertones.

What you get

1 x DND 026 Greek Villa gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 026 Greek Villa nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

TPO free: TPO is the photoinitiator the EU removed from cosmetics in 2025; this formula does not use it.

Rated for 21 days: DND lists up to 21 days of chip-free wear with proper prep.

Does not shrink: DND lists the HEMA & TPO Free formula as non-shrinking and chip-free.

Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Start with a clean plate: no oil, no shine.

Base gel: DND #500, DC #800 or DIVA #100, cured 30 seconds.

Two thin coats: DND 026 Greek Villa, 45 seconds under LED per coat; thin layers cure evenly.

Seal: no-wipe top gel, 45 seconds, then cuticle oil.

Who it suits

French manicures: white is the hardest shade to lay down evenly, so keep coats thin and cap the free edge.

Clean-girl sets, paired with a French tip over a sheer pink.

Which option to choose

DND”s standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 026 Greek Villa belongs to the separate HEMA & TPO Free line, so it is the DND option for clients who react to regular gel. Any client with a known allergy should still patch test.

Storing the bottles

Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
