Which option to choose

DND”s standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 089 Orchid Dreams 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.
