DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 085 Iris Haze

DND 085 Iris Haze is a grey iris 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.

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

Colour: DND 085 Iris Haze in two thin coats, capping the edge, 45 seconds each.

Clients who ask for grey iris by name or by number 085.

Which option to choose

DND”s standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 085 Iris Haze 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.

Lamp check

An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
