DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 114 Caramel Afterdark

DND 114 Caramel Afterdark is a caramel 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 114 Caramel Afterdark gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 114 Caramel Afterdark nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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).

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

Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Which option to choose

Compared with a standard DND duo, DND 114 Caramel Afterdark swaps in a formula without HEMA or TPO while keeping the same gel and lacquer format. It still works with the DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels you already stock.

Removal

File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
