DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #786 Sour Apple

DND #786 Sour Apple 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 light green polish with a yellow undertone is apple-solutely called for in springtime.

What you get

1 x DND #786 Sour Apple gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #786 Sour Apple nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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.

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

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 #786 Sour Apple, 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 786.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #786 Sour Apple 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.

Thin coats win

Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 786 wear longer than one thick one.
