DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 274 I Don”t Need Backup

DND 274 I Don”t Need Backup is a mocha taupe 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 274 I Don”t Need Backup gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 274 I Don”t Need Backup nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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.

Fits your current system: DND says it works with any DND, DC or DIVA base and top gel.

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

Which option to choose

If a client has reacted to gel before, DND 274 I Don”t Need Backup 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.
