139 After Hours Hurrah gives you a warm brown and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Brown reads richer on deeper skin tones and softer on fair ones.
What you get in the bottle
- Leaves out the two usual irritants: HEMA and TPO are both absent from the DND 139 After Hours Hurrah formula.
- Smooth lay-down: a self-levelling texture means DND 139 After Hours Hurrah 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 139 Shade name After Hours Hurrah Colour family Brown 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 139 After Hours Hurrah, 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
- Autumn bookings: brown reads richer on deeper skin tones and softer on fair ones.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a nude base for an ombre fade.
- Almond and coffin shapes, 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 139 After Hours Hurrah 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 139 After Hours Hurrah 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 139 After Hours Hurrah is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
