DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #454 Fiery Flamingo

DND #454 Fiery Flamingo is a hot coral with beaming pink overtones 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 #454 Fiery Flamingo gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #454 Fiery Flamingo nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

A system you already run: it works with DND Base #500 and DND Top #600, and with DC or DIVA base and top.

Up to three weeks of wear: when it goes on over a base gel and under a top gel, cured layer by layer.

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

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 #454 Fiery Flamingo, capping the free edge, curing each coat.

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

Who it suits

Summer sets: coral looks brighter in daylight than under salon lamps, so check it by the window.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #454 Fiery Flamingo 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.
