138 It's Rainning Plum gives you a blue-based red and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one thick one.
What you get in the bottle
- A cleaner formula: neither HEMA nor TPO is in this line, which is the first question a sensitive client asks.
- Self-levelling application: the texture flows out on its own, so DND 138 It's Rainning Plum lays flat without chasing it.
- High-gloss finish: the cured surface reads glossy rather than satin.
- 288 shades to match: the HEMA and TPO free line runs to 288 shades, so a salon can standardise on it without losing colour choice.
Specifications

- Base coat: thin, capped, cured.
- Build the colour: two thin coats of DND 138 It's Rainning Plum, curing between them, rather than one thick pass.

- 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
- Evening and date-night sets: red shows brush strokes more than most families.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a glossy top coat and a clean cuticle line.
- Classic pedicures, 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 138 It's Rainning Plum 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 138 It's Rainning Plum 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 138 It's Rainning Plum is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
