DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 220 Love Bite

DND 220 Love Bite is a shimmer baby 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.

1 x DND 220 Love Bite nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Standard bottle: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL).

Soft shimmer: fine shimmer catches the light without the grit of a glitter.

Specifications

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

Who it suits

Bridal and bridesmaid bookings: pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows slowly.

Everyday short square sets, paired with a milky white for a soft French.

Clients who ask for shimmer baby pink by name or by number 220.

Which option to choose

If a client has reacted to gel before, DND 220 Love Bite is the DND duo to trial, since the line leaves out HEMA and TPO. The base and top gels are separate products, so check their labels too.

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.
