DND HEMA & TPO Free Gel Duo 211 Squirtle
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 211 Squirtle is a sky blue 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 211 Squirtle gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 211 Squirtle 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.

- Seal: no-wipe top gel, 45 seconds, then cuticle oil.
Who it suits
- Summer sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.
- Pedicures, paired with a silver chrome accent.
- Clients who ask for sky blue by name or by number 211.
Which option to choose
Compared with a standard DND duo, DND 211 Squirtle swaps in a formula without HEMA or TPO while keeping the same gel and lacquer format. It still works with the DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels you already stock.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 211 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Squirtle: the DND HEMA & TPO Free collection, HEMA-free blue shades and the Part 06 I'm The Captain Now set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 211 Squirtle 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 Squirtle?+
DND 211 Squirtle is a sky blue. 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.
