DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 048 Mauve Today

DND 048 Mauve Today is a sheer lilac mauve 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 048 Mauve Today gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 048 Mauve Today 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.

Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

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

Two thin coats: DND 048 Mauve Today, 45 seconds under LED per coat; thin layers cure evenly.

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

Who it suits

Evening sets: purple carries red and blue pigment, so it shifts between salon light and daylight.

Fall bookings, paired with a soft pink base.

Clients who ask for sheer lilac mauve by name or by number 048.

Which option to choose

DND”s standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 048 Mauve Today 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.

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.
