187 Beach, Please 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
- 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 187 Beach, Please 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.

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.
Why a salon moves a client onto this line
The choice on this line is not which format to take, it is this formula against ordinary gel. Ordinary gel polish is built on HEMA, and cures with photoinitiators that commonly include TPO. DND 187 Beach, Please leaves both out while keeping the pigment load and the high-gloss finish. If a client has come back with redness at the cuticle after a gel service, this is the line to move them onto. Anyone with a known allergy should still patch test before a full set.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND 187 Beach, Please as much as any shade on the wall. Make sure the shine is fully off the plate, the cuticle is pushed back and the surface is dehydrated before the base goes on. Keep every layer thin and cap the free edge on the base, both colour coats and the top. A thick colour coat is the most common cause of a set that peels at the stress point in week two.
DND 187 Beach, Please is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND, DC and DIVA shades.
