Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 080 Bewilder Mint is a jade green 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 080 Bewilder Mint gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 080 Bewilder Mint 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.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Which option to choose
DND's standard gel line contains HEMA, per its safety data sheet. DND 080 Bewilder Mint 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.
Lamp check
An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
More to pair with Bewilder Mint: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free green shades and the Part 03 Up Up & Away set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 080 Bewilder Mint 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 Bewilder Mint?+
DND 080 Bewilder Mint is a jade green. 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.
