DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #743 Mike Ike

DND #743 Mike Ike is a spring fling inspired neon sour green 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 #743 Mike Ike gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #743 Mike Ike nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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

Professional bottle size: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), the standard salon size rather than a mini.

Matched by number: the gel and the lacquer share one shade number, so reorders and client records stay simple.

Neon brightness: neon shades glow brightest over a white base.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #743 Mike Ike 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.

Lamp check

An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
