Clients who ask for cherry red by name or by number 236.

Which option to choose

If a client has reacted to gel before, DND 236 Cherry Rocket 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.

Removal

File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
