DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 185 Bare Coast

DND 185 Bare Coast is a light cream 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 185 Bare Coast gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 185 Bare Coast nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Vegan and cruelty-free: DND labels the HEMA & TPO Free line both vegan and cruelty-free.

Matched lacquer: the lacquer shares the gel”s number, so hands and toes match.

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

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

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Prep: clean the nail, push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and dehydrate.

Base: a thin layer of any DND, DC or DIVA base gel, cured 30 seconds under LED.

Colour: two thin coats of DND 185 Bare Coast, each cured 45 seconds under LED, edge capped.

Top: a DND, DC or DIVA no-wipe top gel, cured 45 seconds.

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 light cream by name or by number 185.

Which option to choose

Compared with a standard DND duo, DND 185 Bare Coast 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.

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.
