Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 081 Soft Landing is a soft periwinkle lilac 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 081 Soft Landing gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 081 Soft Landing 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 081 Soft Landing 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 Soft Landing: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free purple shades and the Part 03 Up Up & Away set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 081 Soft Landing 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 Soft Landing?+
DND 081 Soft Landing is a soft periwinkle lilac. 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.
