DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 026 Greek Villa
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 026 Greek Villa is a milky taupe 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: Somewhere between a holiday postcard and lying out on the beach, this sheer taupe keeps things sunlit and easy with pink neutral undertones.
What you get
- 1 x DND 026 Greek Villa gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 026 Greek Villa 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.

Who it suits

- Clients who ask for milky taupe by name or by number 026.
Which option to choose
DND's standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 026 Greek Villa 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.
Storing the bottles
Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
More to pair with Greek Villa: 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 026 Greek Villa 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 Greek Villa?+
DND 026 Greek Villa is a milky taupe 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.
