Which option to choose

A metallic gel like DND DC #181 Mahogany is usually one or two nails in a set, or a full set for holidays and events. It wears on the same DC Base #800 and DC Top #900 as the cream DC shades.

Removal

File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
