DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 218 Look At Me!

DND 218 Look At Me! is an ultraviolet 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.

Clients who ask for ultraviolet by name or by number 218.

Which option to choose

Compared with a standard DND duo, DND 218 Look At Me! 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.

Thin coats win

Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 218 wear longer than one thick one.

More to pair with Look At Me!: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free purple shades and the Part 06 I”m The Captain Now set.
