DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 265 Denim Baby

DND 265 Denim Baby is a denim blue 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 265 Denim Baby gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 265 Denim Baby 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

Start with a clean plate: no oil, no shine.

Base gel: DND #500, DC #800 or DIVA #100, cured 30 seconds.

Two thin coats: DND 265 Denim Baby, 45 seconds under LED per coat; thin layers cure evenly.

Seal: no-wipe top gel, 45 seconds, then cuticle oil.

Who it suits

Summer sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.

Pedicures, paired with a silver chrome accent.

Clients who ask for denim blue by name or by number 265.

Which option to choose

If a client has reacted to gel before, DND 265 Denim Baby 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.

Check the shade first

Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client”s hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.

More to pair with Denim Baby: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free blue shades and the Part 08 School Of Sleek set.
