A warm espresso cream shade, paired for seamless gel and lacquer manicures.
✦ Rich Espresso Color, Two Beautiful Ways
DND HEMA & TPO Free Duo #284 But First, Espresso brings together one soak-off gel polish and one matching traditional nail lacquer in the same rich warm espresso brown shade. The cream finish gives this color a polished, elegant look that feels refined for everyday wear and chic enough for salon sets.
Designed as part of DND’s HEMA & TPO-Free line, this duo is ideal for professionals and color lovers who want the convenience of a coordinated gel-and-lacquer pairing. Use the gel side for UV/LED-cured services, or reach for the matching air-dry lacquer when a classic polish application is preferred.
