025 Sweet Nothings gives you a greige and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Beige hides regrowth better than a bright colour, which stretches the fill cycle.
What you get in the bottle
- No HEMA, no TPO: HEMA is the methacrylate in ordinary gel that most commonly sits behind redness around the nail fold, and TPO is a photoinitiator that can irritate skin and eyes. This line leaves both out.
- Built for reactive clients: ND positions the line for salons carrying clients who have reacted to ordinary gel, and for techs with their hands in product all day.
- Self-levelling texture: DND 025 Sweet Nothings settles itself after the stroke, so the surface evens out instead of holding brush marks.
- Pigment that covers: a highly pigmented formula with a high-gloss finish.
Specifications
Spec Value Shade code 025 Shade name Sweet Nothings Colour family Beige 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 025 Sweet Nothings. 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
- Quiet luxury sets: beige hides regrowth better than a bright colour, which stretches the fill cycle.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a chrome powder over the top for a quiet metallic.
- Work-safe manicures, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
How it compares with ordinary gel
Put DND 025 Sweet Nothings 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.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND 025 Sweet Nothings as much as any shade on the wall. Make sure the shine is fully off the plate, the cuticle is pushed back and the surface is dehydrated before the base goes on. Keep every layer thin and cap the free edge on the base, both colour coats and the top. A thick colour coat is the most common cause of a set that peels at the stress point in week two.
DND 025 Sweet Nothings 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.
