104 Uh Oh, Air We Go Again 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
- Leaves out the two usual irritants: HEMA and TPO are both absent from the DND 104 Uh Oh, Air We Go Again formula.
- Smooth lay-down: a self-levelling texture means DND 104 Uh Oh, Air We Go Again 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 104 Shade name Uh Oh, Air We Go Again 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: 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 104 Uh Oh, Air We Go Again. 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
- 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 104 Uh Oh, Air We Go Again 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.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND 104 Uh Oh, Air We Go Again 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 104 Uh Oh, Air We Go Again is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
