DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #673 Summer Sky

DND #673 Summer Sky is a bright and creamy sky baby blue from DND”s original gel and lacquer line, the one with more than 1,000 numbered shades. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.

What you get

1 x DND #673 Summer Sky gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #673 Summer Sky nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.

Professional bottle size: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), the standard salon size rather than a mini.

Matched by number: the gel and the lacquer share one shade number, so reorders and client records stay simple.

Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Prep the plate: shape, clean up the cuticle, lightly buff and wipe with a dehydrator.

Lay the base: a thin coat of DND Base #500, cured.

Build the colour: two thin coats of DND #673 Summer Sky; cure after each one and cap the edge.

Seal: finish with DND Top #600 No Cleanse and cure.

Who it suits

Office-friendly sets: nude reads differently on each skin tone, so swatch it on the client first.

Clean-girl manicures, paired with a white French tip.

Clients who ask for bright and creamy sky baby blue by name or by number 673.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #673 Summer Sky is for services that need up to three weeks of wear. The lacquer half is for pedicures, quick changes and the bottle a client takes home. Buying them as a duo keeps both on the same number.

Lamp check

An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
