086 Lavender Intuition gives you a soft gray and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Gray is a neutral that works year round and does not fight a client's outfit.
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 086 Lavender Intuition 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 086 Shade name Lavender Intuition Colour family Gray 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 086 Lavender Intuition. 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
- Minimal sets: gray is a neutral that works year round and does not fight a client's outfit.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a matte top coat or a chrome accent.
- Short nails, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
HEMA-free against a standard gel
There is one decision here and it is a formula decision. Ordinary gel is built on HEMA and usually cures with TPO. DND 086 Lavender Intuition has neither, and keeps the pigment load and the high-gloss finish that make the regular line worth stocking. Most salons start with the clients who have had a reaction and widen out from there. Patch test anyone with a known allergy.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 086 Lavender Intuition 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 086 Lavender Intuition is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
