DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 021 Strip Tease

DND 021 Strip Tease is a sheer beige 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 021 Strip Tease gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 021 Strip Tease 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.

Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Prep: clean the nail, push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and dehydrate.

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

Colour: two thin coats of DND 021 Strip Tease, each cured 45 seconds under LED, edge capped.

Top: a DND, DC or DIVA no-wipe top gel, cured 45 seconds.

Who it suits

Office-friendly sets: nude reads differently on each skin tone, so swatch it on the client first.

Clean-girl manicures, paired with a white French tip.

Clients who ask for sheer beige by name or by number 021.

Which option to choose

DND”s standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 021 Strip Tease belongs to the separate HEMA & TPO Free line, so it is the DND option for clients who react to regular gel. Any client with a known allergy should still patch test.

Storing the bottles

Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
