DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 031 Teddy

DND 031 Teddy is a nude brown 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.

What you get

1 x DND 031 Teddy gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 031 Teddy nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Made without HEMA: HEMA is the ingredient most linked to gel polish allergies, and this line leaves it out.

Fits your current system: DND says it works with any DND, DC or DIVA base and top gel.

Standard bottle: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL).

Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Prep: shape, cuticle work, light buff, dehydrator.

Base: thin base gel from any DND line, cured.

Colour: DND 031 Teddy in two thin coats, capping the edge, 45 seconds each.

Top: no-wipe top gel, cured, no cleanse.

Who it suits

Office-friendly sets: nude reads differently on each skin tone, so swatch it on the client first.

Clean-girl manicures, paired with a white French tip.

Clients who ask for nude brown by name or by number 031.

Which option to choose

DND”s standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 031 Teddy 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.
