115 Barce Luna 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
- Formulated without HEMA: the methacrylate behind most gel sensitivity complaints is simply not in DND 115 Barce Luna.
- 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 115 Barce Luna 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 115 Shade name Barce Luna 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
- Clean the plate: file to shape, ease the cuticle back, take the gloss off and wipe the nail down.
- Foundation: one thin coat of base gel, capped at the free edge, cured.
- Colour, coat one: DND 115 Barce Luna goes on thin. Let it settle rather than working it, that is what the self-levelling texture is for.
- Colour, coat two: the second coat carries the pigment to full depth, cure again.
- Top: top gel over everything, cure, and take off the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
- Before they leave: cuticle oil, and note the shade number so the next fill matches.
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.
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 115 Barce Luna 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 115 Barce Luna 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 115 Barce Luna is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
