DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 013 Drift
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 013 Drift is a grey-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: Barely there is better than bare, if you catch our drift, with this sheer beige topped by a hint of warm grey undertones.
What you get
- 1 x DND 013 Drift gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 013 Drift nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Made without HEMA: HEMA is the ingredient most linked to gel polish allergies, and this line leaves it out.
- Fits your current system: DND says it works with any DND, DC or DIVA base and top gel.
- Standard bottle: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL).
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

Which option to choose
DND's standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 013 Drift 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 Drift: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free gray shades and the Part 01 Every Hue set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 013 Drift 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 Drift?+
DND 013 Drift is a grey-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.
