Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 015 Slate Slip is a sheer grey 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.
What you get
- 1 x DND 015 Slate Slip gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 015 Slate Slip 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.

Which option to choose
DND's standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 015 Slate Slip 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 015 Slate Slip 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 Slate Slip?+
DND 015 Slate Slip is a sheer grey 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.
