Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 012 Delicate is a white beige 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: Don't be afraid to touch this sheer beige with milky white undertones; it may be a delicate wash of color, but it packs a mighty punch.
What you get
- 1 x DND 012 Delicate gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 012 Delicate nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Matched lacquer: the lacquer shares the gel's number, so hands and toes match.
- Made without HEMA: the line is formulated without HEMA, the monomer many clients now ask about by name.
- Fits your current system: DND says it works with any DND, DC or DIVA base and top gel.
- Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

Who it suits

- Clients who ask for white beige by name or by number 012.
Which option to choose
DND's standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 012 Delicate belongs to the separate HEMA & TPO Free line, so it is the DND option for clients who ask for a gel made without HEMA.
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 Delicate: 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 012 Delicate 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 used in many gel polishes, and TPO is a photoinitiator the EU removed from cosmetics in 2025. This DND line is made without either one.
What colour is Delicate?+
DND 012 Delicate is a white beige 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.
