Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 036 Terracotta Linen is a sheer pink-orange 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: Unearth this hidden gem, a baked earth orange with brownish-pink undertones and a milky finish for an easy, breezy look.
What you get
- 1 x DND 036 Terracotta Linen gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 036 Terracotta Linen 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: 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.
- Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

Which option to choose
DND's standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 036 Terracotta Linen 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 Terracotta Linen: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free pink shades and the Part 01 Every Hue set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 036 Terracotta Linen 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 Terracotta Linen?+
DND 036 Terracotta Linen is a sheer pink-orange 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.
