146 Frosted gives you a soft gray and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Gray is a neutral that works year round and does not fight a client's outfit.
What you get in the bottle
- Two ingredients removed, not the performance: DND 146 Frosted keeps the pigment load and the high-gloss finish while leaving out HEMA and TPO.
- Made for the techs too: hands are in product all day, which is why ND stocks this line for the bench as much as the client.
- Self-levelling texture: less fighting the brush, fewer heavy coats.
- Colour choice is not the trade-off: the HEMA and TPO free line runs to 288 shades.
- 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 146 Shade name Frosted Colour family Gray 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 146 Frosted. 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
- Minimal sets: gray is a neutral that works year round and does not fight a client's outfit.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a matte top coat or a chrome accent.
- Short nails, 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 146 Frosted 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.
Storing the bottle
Keep DND 146 Frosted upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.
DND 146 Frosted is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
