YES CHEF! DND Gel Nails Serves Up A Sizzling Fall Nail Drop

Inspired By Culinary Culture

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This fall, DND Gel is plating up its boldest collection yet. Introducing YES CHEF!, a limited-edition nail color and art kit that pays homage to the heat, hustle, and high-stakes glamour of the professional kitchen. Launching exclusively on dndgel.com in collaboration with iconic female culinary influencers and chefs, the collection fuses the energy of culinary culture with the boldness of beauty – inviting fans to cook up a look that's as spicy as it is stylish.

The YES CHEF! Kit includes six high-impact shades inspired by kitchen action and flavor obsessions:

• Spread It – A buttery yellow
• Sip It – A rich cabernet crème burgundy
• Sear It – A bold, fire-engine red
• Zest It – A zippy citrus green
• Glaze It – A sheer sugar-gloss white shimmer
• SCORCHING! – A true, spicy red

Each kit is packaged in a custom chili-shaped box that doubles as a collector's item – featuring chef-inspired nail art stickers, nail charms, a DND-branded tomato salt & pepper shaker, and recipe cards co-created by iconic culinary influencers and chefs. Forget pumpkin spice – this season it's all about Tomato Girl Baddie energy and Chili-Flake Fall.

"Nails are fashion, and food is culture; both are forms of self-expression that bring people together. With YES CHEF!, 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," says a DND Gel spokesperson.

To bring the YES CHEF! collection to life beyond the manicure, DND Gel partnered with four culinary creators who embody the same boldness, creativity, and cultural flavor as the collection itself. Each collaborator developed a custom recipe inspired by the nail shade that best represents their personal style and heritage – resulting in a delicious fusion of beauty and food storytelling.

• TwaydaBae – Chef Tue Nguyen is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, an acclaimed chef and restaurateur blending Vietnamese roots with modern comfort food, with a loyal global following across platforms. She delivered comfort and kick with Tue's Spicy Chicken Dumplings & Lemongrass Chili Oil, a savory nod to her Vietnamese roots, matching the zing of the collection's citrusy-green "Zest It."
• FatherKels – Kelsey Calemine is a digital tastemaker, home cook and lifestyle creator with millions of followers, known for shaping beauty, fashion, and cultural trends online. She created Kelsey's Orzo with Crispy Pancetta, a bright, buttery dish that mirrors the warmth of the "Spread It" shade.
• RotiiBrown – Roti Brown is a content creator and culinary storyteller spotlighting Caribbean flavors and heritage through vibrant, shareable recipes. She created Roti's Caribbean Pepper Patties, a flaky, golden pastry filled with bold spice that reflects the richness of "Sear It."
• CassieYeungMoney – Chef Cassie Yeung is the Next Level Chef contestant, turned TikTok star behind the viral Wet Wet Sauce. Cassie brought the heat with beef & udon noodles tossed in her viral Wet Wet Sauce, a fiery red chili oil and dipping sauce duo inspired by the DND shade "SCORCHING!" that's as spicy and iconic as her TikTok fame.

These recipes will be included as collectible cards in the YES CHEF Collection Kits and featured across DND's social channels throughout launch month. Each recipe, like each polish shade, tells a story – blending flavor, culture, and color to celebrate beauty as a full-sensory experience.
