DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #473 French Tip

DND #473 French Tip is a white 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 #473 French Tip gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #473 French Tip 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 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 #473 French Tip; cure after each one and cap the edge.

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

Who it suits

French manicures: white is the hardest shade to lay down evenly, so keep coats thin and cap the free edge.

Clean-girl sets, paired with a French tip over a sheer pink.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #473 French Tip 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.
