229 Grab The Sunscreen gives you a soft yellow and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Yellow pigment is naturally sheer, so plan on a third coat for full coverage.
What you get in the bottle
- Leaves out the two usual irritants: HEMA and TPO are both absent from the DND 229 Grab The Sunscreen formula.
- Smooth lay-down: a self-levelling texture means DND 229 Grab The Sunscreen 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.

- Finish: cuticle oil and a sidewall check.
Where this shade gets booked

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 229 Grab The Sunscreen 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.
Storing the bottle
Keep DND 229 Grab The Sunscreen 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 229 Grab The Sunscreen is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND, DC and DIVA shades.
