DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #438 Island Oasis

DND #438 Island Oasis is a beautiful cross between turquoise and lush emerald 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 #438 Island Oasis gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #438 Island Oasis nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Easy to restock: DND numbers every shade, so a best seller is one code away from a reorder.

Two services from one colour: use the gel for the manicure and the lacquer for toes or at-home touch-ups.

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

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

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Get the nail ready: remove oils and shine so the base can grip.

Base gel: DND Base #500, one thin layer, cured.

Two colour coats: keep each coat of DND #438 Island Oasis thin; thick layers cure unevenly.

No-wipe top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, no cleanse step needed.

Who it suits

Summer sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.

Pedicures, paired with a silver chrome accent.

Clients who ask for beautiful cross between turquoise and lush emerald by name or by number 438.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #438 Island Oasis 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.

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.
