124 I Don't Kiss And Teal 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 124 I Don't Kiss And Teal formula.
- Smooth lay-down: a self-levelling texture means DND 124 I Don't Kiss And Teal 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 124 Shade name I Don't Kiss And Teal 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 124 I Don't Kiss And Teal. 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 124 I Don't Kiss And Teal 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.
How to take it off
DND 124 I Don't Kiss And Teal is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.
DND 124 I Don't Kiss And Teal is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
