Why techs stock it

Quick cure: each thin colour coat cures in 30 to 45 seconds under an LED lamp.

No-wipe finish: DC Top #900 No Cleanse leaves no sticky layer after curing.

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

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

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Prep: buff, cleanse and dehydrate.

Who it suits

Which option to choose

A metallic gel like DND DC #196 Ruby Pink 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.
