Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 057 Booked & Busy is a berry mauve 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 057 Booked & Busy gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 057 Booked & Busy 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.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
DND's standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 057 Booked & Busy 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.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 057 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.
More to pair with Booked & Busy: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free purple shades and the Part 02 High Gloss set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 057 Booked & Busy 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 Booked & Busy?+
DND 057 Booked & Busy is a berry mauve. 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.
