Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 108 Long Distance Lovers is a rosy taupe brown 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 108 Long Distance Lovers gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 108 Long Distance Lovers nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Fits your current system: DND says it works with any DND, DC or DIVA base and top gel.
- Standard bottle: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL).
- TPO free: TPO is the photoinitiator the EU removed from cosmetics in 2025; this formula does not use it.
- 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 108 Long Distance Lovers 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.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 108 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Long Distance Lovers: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free brown shades and the Part 03 Up Up & Away set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 108 Long Distance Lovers 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 Long Distance Lovers?+
DND 108 Long Distance Lovers is a rosy taupe brown. 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.
