013 Drift gives you a greige and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Beige hides regrowth better than a bright colour, which stretches the fill cycle.
What you get in the bottle
- Formulated without HEMA: the methacrylate behind most gel sensitivity complaints is simply not in DND 013 Drift.
- No TPO either: the photoinitiator that can catch skin and eyes is left out as well.
- Levels itself: the texture settles after the stroke, so the second coat of DND 013 Drift does not show brush marks.
- A full wall, not a shelf: 288 shades means a salon can convert the whole colour wall rather than keep a token few.
Specifications
Spec Value Shade code 013 Shade name Drift Colour family Beige Finish Glossy Bottle size 0.5 oz Formula HEMA-free and TPO-free Item weight 145 grams Bottle glass Condition new Application steps
- Clean the plate: file to shape, ease the cuticle back, take the gloss off and wipe the nail down.
- Foundation: one thin coat of base gel, capped at the free edge, cured.
- Colour, coat one: DND 013 Drift goes on thin. Let it settle rather than working it, that is what the self-levelling texture is for.
- Colour, coat two: the second coat carries the pigment to full depth, cure again.
- Top: top gel over everything, cure, and take off the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
- Before they leave: cuticle oil, and note the shade number so the next fill matches.
Where this shade gets booked
- Quiet luxury sets: beige hides regrowth better than a bright colour, which stretches the fill cycle.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a chrome powder over the top for a quiet metallic.
- Work-safe manicures, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
How it compares with ordinary gel
Put DND 013 Drift next to the same shade family on the regular DND wall and the difference is not on the nail, it is in the bottle. The pigment and the gloss carry over. HEMA and TPO do not. That matters for the client who has come back twice with a sore cuticle, and for the tech whose hands are in product forty hours a week. A known allergy still calls for a patch test.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 013 Drift is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.
DND 013 Drift is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and every HEMA and TPO free gel ND stocks.
