What you get

1 x DND DC #188 Starlight gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) gold DC bottle

Gel only: no lacquer in this listing

Why techs stock it

Bigger bottle: DC bottles hold 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), a little more than the classic 0.5 fl oz DND bottle.

Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 188 will not clash with a classic DND code.

Up to three weeks of wear: with DC base, two thin colour coats and DC top, each cured.

High-shine metallic: the metallic finish shows every ridge, so buff the plate smooth first.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Start clean: the nail must be fully prepped and free of oil.

DC base first: DC needs a base coat, so lay DC Base #800 and cure it.

Two thin coats: apply DND DC #188 Starlight thin, cap the free edge, cure each coat 30 to 45 seconds under LED.

Finish: seal with DC Top #900 No Cleanse and cure.

Who it suits

Holiday and date-night sets: red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one heavy one.

Classic pedicures, paired with a glossy no-wipe top.

Which option to choose

A metallic gel like DND DC #188 Starlight 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.
