Which option to choose

If a client has reacted to gel before, DND 279 What, Like It”s Hard 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.

Restocking

Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 279 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.
