Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 002 Icing is a sheer ivory from DND's HEMA & TPO Free line. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.
In DND's words: This chic ivory is icing on the cake, a sheer, creamy sweet treat you can have guilt-free every day.
What you get
- 1 x DND 002 Icing gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 002 Icing nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- TPO free: TPO is the photoinitiator the EU removed from cosmetics in 2025; this formula does not use it.
- Rated for 21 days: DND lists up to 21 days of chip-free wear with proper prep.
- Does not shrink: DND lists the HEMA & TPO Free formula as non-shrinking and chip-free.
- Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

Which option to choose
DND's standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 002 Icing belongs to the separate HEMA & TPO Free line, so it is the DND option for clients who react to regular gel. Any client with a known allergy should still patch test.
Removal
File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
More to pair with Icing: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free nude shades and the Part 01 Every Hue set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 002 Icing as a gel and a lacquer with the same shade number, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure match. The lacquer air-dries, the gel needs an LED or UV lamp.
What do HEMA free and TPO free mean?+
HEMA is a monomer and the ingredient most linked to allergic reactions from gel polish. TPO is a photoinitiator the EU removed from cosmetics in 2025. This DND line is made without either one.
What colour is Icing?+
DND 002 Icing is a sheer ivory with a sheer finish. Screens show colour differently, so check a swatch stick against the client's skin before the full set.
How long do I cure each coat?+
Under an LED lamp, cure each thin colour coat 45 seconds; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. Thin coats cure all the way through, thick ones do not.
