240 Tropical Tofu gives you a milky white and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. White is the hardest shade to lay down evenly, so keep coats thin and cap the free edge.
What you get in the bottle
- Formulated without HEMA: the methacrylate behind most gel sensitivity complaints is simply not in DND 240 Tropical Tofu.
- 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 240 Tropical Tofu 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 240 Shade name Tropical Tofu Colour family White 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 240 Tropical Tofu, 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
- French manicures: white is the hardest shade to lay down evenly.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a French tip or a glazed chrome finish.
- Clean-girl sets, 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 240 Tropical Tofu 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 240 Tropical Tofu 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 240 Tropical Tofu is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND, DC and DIVA shades.
