236 Cherry Rocket gives you a blue-based red and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one thick one.
What you get in the bottle
- Two ingredients removed, not the performance: DND 236 Cherry Rocket 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 236 Shade name Cherry Rocket Colour family Red 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 236 Cherry Rocket 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
- Evening and date-night sets: red shows brush strokes more than most families.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a glossy top coat and a clean cuticle line.
- Classic pedicures, 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 236 Cherry Rocket 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 236 Cherry Rocket 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 236 Cherry Rocket is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND, DC and DIVA shades.
