162 Dessert Time gives you a clear pink and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows up slowly.
What you get in the bottle
- No HEMA, no TPO: HEMA is the methacrylate in ordinary gel that most commonly sits behind redness around the nail fold, and TPO is a photoinitiator that can irritate skin and eyes. This line leaves both out.
- Built for reactive clients: ND positions the line for salons carrying clients who have reacted to ordinary gel, and for techs with their hands in product all day.
- Self-levelling texture: DND 162 Dessert Time settles itself after the stroke, so the surface evens out instead of holding brush marks.
- Pigment that covers: a highly pigmented formula with a high-gloss finish.
Specifications
Spec Value Shade code 162 Shade name Dessert Time Colour family Pink 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 162 Dessert Time, 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
- Everyday salon sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a milky white for a soft French or a clear top for a bare look.
- Bridal and bridesmaid bookings, 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 162 Dessert Time 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 162 Dessert Time 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 162 Dessert Time is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
