099 Catch Flights Not Feelings gives you a navy blue and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.
What you get in the bottle
- Formulated without HEMA: the methacrylate behind most gel sensitivity complaints is simply not in DND 099 Catch Flights Not Feelings.
- No TPO either: the photoinitiator that can catch skin and eyes is left out as well.
- Levels itself: the texture settles after the stroke, so the second coat of DND 099 Catch Flights Not Feelings does not show brush marks.
- A full wall, not a shelf: 288 shades means a salon can convert the whole colour wall rather than keep a token few.
Specifications
Spec Value Shade code 099 Shade name Catch Flights Not Feelings Colour family Blue Finish Glossy Bottle size 0.5 oz Formula HEMA-free and TPO-free Item weight 145 grams Bottle glass Condition new Application steps
- Prep the nail: shape, push back, buff flat, dehydrate.
- Base coat: thin, capped, cured.
- Build the colour: two thin coats of DND 099 Catch Flights Not Feelings, curing between them, rather than one thick pass.
- Seal it in: top gel over the whole nail and cure.
- Tacky layer: wipe it off if your top coat leaves one.
- Aftercare: oil the cuticle and check the sidewalls before the client stands up.
Where this shade gets booked
- Summer sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a silver chrome or a white swirl.
- Toes, 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 099 Catch Flights Not Feelings 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 099 Catch Flights Not Feelings 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 099 Catch Flights Not Feelings is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
