Which option to choose
If a client has reacted to gel before, DND 285 Favorite Position Is Ceo 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.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 285 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND 285 Favorite Position Is Ceo 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 Favorite Position Is Ceo?+
DND 285 Favorite Position Is Ceo is a black cherry. 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.
