DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 264 Keep It Tuft(s) University

DND 264 Keep It Tuft(s) University is a dusty blue 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

Why techs stock it

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

Rated for 21 days: DND lists up to 21 days of chip-free wear with proper prep.

Does not shrink: DND lists the HEMA & TPO Free formula as non-shrinking and chip-free.

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

Specifications

Two thin coats: DND 264 Keep It Tuft(s) University, 45 seconds under LED per coat; thin layers cure evenly.

Who it suits

Summer sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.

Clients who ask for dusty blue by name or by number 264.

Which option to choose

If a client has reacted to gel before, DND 264 Keep It Tuft(s) University 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.

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.
