DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 196 Pier Pressure

DND 196 Pier Pressure is a purple-pink 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 196 Pier Pressure gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 196 Pier Pressure nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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

Rated for 21 days: DND lists up to 21 days of chip-free wear with proper prep.

Does not shrink: DND lists the HEMA & TPO Free formula as non-shrinking and chip-free.

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

Specifications

How to apply the gel

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

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

Colour: DND 196 Pier Pressure in two thin coats, capping the edge, 45 seconds each.

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

Who it suits

Evening sets: purple carries red and blue pigment, so it shifts between salon light and daylight.

Fall bookings, paired with a soft pink base.

Clients who ask for purple-pink by name or by number 196.

Which option to choose

Compared with a standard DND duo, DND 196 Pier Pressure 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.
