DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #448 Snow Flake

DND #448 Snow Flake is a nude 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.

In DND”s words: A creamy whitest white Additional note: For best results, ensure high opacity gel polishes are cured for a longer period.

What you get

1 x DND #448 Snow Flake gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #448 Snow Flake nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, which keeps the natural nail in better shape between sets.

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.

Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Prep: clean the nail, push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and dehydrate.

Base: one thin layer of DND Base #500 (or a DC or DIVA base), cured under the lamp.

Colour: two thin coats of DND #448 Snow Flake, capping the free edge, curing each coat.

Top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, then a drop of cuticle oil.

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 nude by name or by number 448.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #448 Snow Flake 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.

Storing the bottles

Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
