002 Icing gives you a milky white and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. White is the hardest shade to lay down evenly, so keep coats thin and cap the free edge.
What you get in the bottle
- Leaves out the two usual irritants: HEMA and TPO are both absent from the DND 002 Icing formula.
- Smooth lay-down: a self-levelling texture means DND 002 Icing does not need a heavy coat to look even.
- Colour payoff: highly pigmented with good coverage, finished with a high-gloss shine.
- Range, not a token line: 288 shades, from soft neutrals through to statement colours.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.
Specifications
Spec Value Shade code 002 Shade name Icing Colour family White Finish Glossy Bottle size 0.5 oz Formula HEMA-free and TPO-free Item weight 145 grams Bottle glass Condition new Application steps
- Prep: file to shape, push back the cuticle, take the shine off the plate and wipe it clean.
- Base: a thin coat of base gel, capped at the free edge, cured in your lamp.
- Colour coat one: one thin coat of DND 002 Icing. The texture is self-levelling, so resist loading the brush.
- Colour coat two: a second thin coat brings the pigment to full depth, cure again.
- Top coat: seal with a top gel, cure, then remove the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
- Aftercare: cuticle oil, and tell the client what changed if they came to you after a reaction.
Where this shade gets booked
- French manicures: white is the hardest shade to lay down evenly.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a French tip or a glazed chrome finish.
- Clean-girl sets, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
How it compares with ordinary gel
Put DND 002 Icing next to the same shade family on the regular DND wall and the difference is not on the nail, it is in the bottle. The pigment and the gloss carry over. HEMA and TPO do not. That matters for the client who has come back twice with a sore cuticle, and for the tech whose hands are in product forty hours a week. A known allergy still calls for a patch test.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 002 Icing is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.
DND 002 Icing is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and every HEMA and TPO free gel ND stocks.
