DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #499 Be My Valentine

DND #499 Be My Valentine is a romantic rosy-toned pink 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 #499 Be My Valentine gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #499 Be My Valentine 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

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 #499 Be My Valentine thin; thick layers cure unevenly.

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

Who it suits

Bridal and bridesmaid bookings: pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows slowly.

Everyday short square sets, paired with a milky white for a soft French.

Clients who ask for romantic rosy-toned pink by name or by number 499.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #499 Be My Valentine 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.
