DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 186 Cast Away

DND 186 Cast Away is a light 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.

In DND”s words: We are castaways, so cast away your worries and trade them in for this taupe-notch nude with purple undertones.

What you get

1 x DND 186 Cast Away gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND 186 Cast Away nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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

Standard bottle: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL).

TPO free: TPO is the photoinitiator the EU removed from cosmetics in 2025; this formula does not use it.

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

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 186 Cast Away, 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 light taupe by name or by number 186.

Which option to choose

Compared with a standard DND duo, DND 186 Cast Away 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.

Lamp check

An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
