✦ Polished Color in Two Finishes
HEMA FREE DUO 242 Mai Tai / 15 ml 0.5 oz is a DND matching gel polish and nail lacquer set featuring shade #242, Mai Tai. The color is described by retailers as a warm orange crème in the sunset cocktail family, bringing a vibrant yet wearable tone to manicures and pedicures.

✦ How to Use
- 01 Prep the natural nail by pushing back the cuticle, lightly buffing to remove shine, and cleansing the nail plate.
- 02 For gel polish, apply a thin, even coat while avoiding the cuticle area, then cure under an LED/UV lamp according to your lamp and gel system guidance.
- 03 Apply a second thin gel coat if desired and cure again, then finish with a compatible top gel and remove any tacky layer if required by your top coat.
- 04 For lacquer, apply 1–2 thin coats to clean, dry nails, allowing each coat to air dry, and finish with a lacquer top coat for added shine and wear.
