DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 149 Better Late Than Never

DND 149 Better Late Than Never is a pale butter cream 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 149 Better Late Than Never gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 149 Better Late Than Never 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

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 149 Better Late Than Never, each cured 45 seconds under LED, edge capped.

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

Who it suits

Spring sets: yellow pigment is naturally sheer, so plan on a third thin coat or a white base.

Pastel nail art, paired with a white base coat underneath.

Clients who ask for pale butter cream by name or by number 149.

Which option to choose

Compared with a standard DND duo, DND 149 Better Late Than Never swaps in a formula without HEMA or TPO while keeping the same gel and lacquer format. It still works with the DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels you already stock.

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.
