Why Pros Choose This Kit

Managing gel inventory across multiple stations can lead to stock gaps and inconsistencies. This kit solves that by packaging DND’s most-requested foundation gels alongside two popular DC Duo shades and three thermal formulas. Technicians appreciate having a dedicated Base Gel and No-Cleanse Top Gel that cure seamlessly under LED or UV lamps, saving steps on routine services.

For salon owners and backbar managers, this set reduces the need to order individual bottles for color services and thermal add-ons. It also serves as a standardized starter collection for new hires learning DND’s application protocol. The included thermal gels allow you to offer a conversation-starting, temperature-sensitive design without carrying a separate thermal line.

Pro Tips

These application insights help you get the most from this DND set in a busy salon setting.

• Store thermal gels away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the color-changing effect.
• For trouble-free application, apply DND base and color gels in thin layers to prevent lifting or wrinkling.
• Use a dry brush to clean any uncured gel from the sidewalls before curing the top coat.
• If thermal gels do not shift color noticeably, test your room temperature, the client’s hand temperature, and cure time.
• DND Top Gel (No Cleanse) eliminates the need for a final alcohol wipe, speeding up service turnaround.
