Collection Kits. In all, there are six impactful shades to discover, like Glaze It, a [sheer sugar-gloss white shimmer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-deep-edit), butter-yellow Spread It, and SCORCHING!, a spicy red. Exclusively available from DND Gel online, this nail color and art kit was created to pay tribute to the professional kitchen, and it's launching in collaboration with female culinary influencers and chefs. Each collectible DND Yes Chef! Collection Kit takes the form of a custom chili-shaped box and includes [chef-inspired nail art stickers, nail charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orly-x-rubiks), a DND-branded tomato salt and pepper shaker, and recipe cards.
