Red Gel Polish: DND, LAVIS, OPI & More

Frequently Asked Questions

Which brands are on the red gel page?+

The page groups red gel polish listings from LAVIS, DND, DND DC, Chaun Legend, OPI, LDS, A'DOR and Kiara Sky, along with a few small sets. Examples include DND 429 Boston University Red, DND 750 Fudgsicle, DC #067 Fire Engine Red and LAVIS 242 Brownie Red. Each listing is a separate shade with its own stock. Use the filters to narrow by brand.

How do I choose a red for a client?+

Start with undertone. A true red, such as DND 429 Boston University Red, flatters most skin tones. Blue-leaning reds and berries read cooler and brighten fair and cool skin, while orange-leaning reds suit warm and olive skin. Deep cherry-browns, such as DND 751 Cherry Mocha, look rich on medium and deep skin. Swatch two or three on the client before the full set.

How do I apply red gel without streaks?+

Apply thin coats and cure each one, two coats for most reds. Thin coats cure evenly; a thick coat of a deep red can stay soft underneath and wrinkle. Keep the colour off the cuticle and cap the free edge with each coat. A good base coat also helps keep deep pigments from staining the natural nail. Wipe any colour off the skin before curing, because cured pigment is hard to remove.

Are any of these reds HEMA-free?+

Some lines on this page are labelled HEMA-free by their makers, such as Kiara Sky Gel Pro and A'DOR gel colour, while others, such as classic DND gel, are standard gels. Check each listing for the maker's claim. HEMA-free does not mean a client can never react, so do a patch test for clients who have reacted before.

How do I remove deep red gel cleanly?+

File the top layer to break the seal, then soak or wrap the nails in acetone as the brand directs and lift the softened gel gently. Work from the cuticle towards the tip and wipe the skin with acetone afterwards so red pigment does not stain it. Finish with cuticle oil to rehydrate.
