With the help of chefs Cassie Yeung, Tue Nguyen and a few other culinary influencers, DND Gel just unveiled its "Yes Chef!" polish collection. The limited-edition shades draw inspiration from the professional kitchen and the female innovators that are integrating beauty into the food world.

When it comes to the decision to partner with culinary tastemakers, DND Gel says the "Yes Chef!" collection emphasizes its ethos of unapologetic confidence and community. "Nails are fashion, and food is culture; both are forms of self-expression that bring people together. With [the collection] we're celebrating that intersection: the spice, the style, the creativity and the comfort. It's more than polish – it's a seasonal mood, a sensory story and a cultural conversation starter," the brand says in a press release.

The "Yes Chef!" kit brings us six new, high-impact polishes: "Spread It" a buttery yellow, "Sip It" a rich burgundy, "Sear It" a fire-engine red, "Zest It" a neon citrus green, "Glaze It" a sheer white shimmer and "Scorching!" a true red. In addition to the shades, each kit is cased in a chili-shaped box which includes chef-inspired nail art stickers, nail charms, a DND-branded salt & pepper shaker and recipe cards from the chefs themselves.

The entire "Yes Chef!" collection retails for $115 USD and is available for purchase on the brand's website.
