DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 009 Innocent
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 009 Innocent is a milky pink 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: We plead guilty to making the best soft pink sheer; its milky finish is just the cherry on top.
What you get
- 1 x DND 009 Innocent gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 009 Innocent nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Vegan and cruelty-free: DND labels the HEMA & TPO Free line both vegan and cruelty-free.
- Matched lacquer: the lacquer shares the gel's number, so hands and toes match.
- Made without HEMA: HEMA is the ingredient most linked to gel polish allergies, and this line leaves it out.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

Who it suits
- French manicures: white is the hardest shade to lay down evenly, so keep coats thin and cap the free edge.

- Clients who ask for milky pink by name or by number 009.
Which option to choose
DND's standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 009 Innocent 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 Innocent: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free white shades and the Part 01 Every Hue set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 009 Innocent 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 Innocent?+
DND 009 Innocent is a milky pink 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.
