255 All Buttoned Up gives you a soft gray and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Gray is a neutral that works year round and does not fight a client's outfit.
What you get in the bottle
- Formulated without HEMA: the methacrylate behind most gel sensitivity complaints is simply not in DND 255 All Buttoned Up.
- 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 255 All Buttoned Up 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 255 Shade name All Buttoned Up Colour family Gray 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 255 All Buttoned Up 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
- Minimal sets: gray is a neutral that works year round and does not fight a client's outfit.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a matte top coat or a chrome accent.
- Short nails, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
How it compares with ordinary gel
Compared with the regular DND gel wall, this line swaps the formula rather than the colour range. You still get 288 shades and the same high-gloss finish, without HEMA and without TPO. DND 255 All Buttoned Up ships as one option rather than a duo-or-single choice, so there is nothing to configure. A client with a known allergy should still patch test first.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 255 All Buttoned Up 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 255 All Buttoned Up is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the whole gel and lacquer category.
