DND HEMA & TPO Free Duo (gel + lacquer) 233 The Fire Pit
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND 233 The Fire Pit is a red orange 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 233 The Fire Pit gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND 233 The Fire Pit 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
If a client has reacted to gel before, DND 233 The Fire Pit is the DND duo to trial, since the line leaves out HEMA and TPO. The base and top gels are separate products, so check their labels too.
Removal
File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 233 The Fire Pit 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 The Fire Pit?+
DND 233 The Fire Pit is a red orange. 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.
