DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #787 Carousel

DND #787 Carousel is a 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.

In DND”s words: How many times is too many times to ride the Carousel?.

What you get

1 x DND #787 Carousel gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #787 Carousel nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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.

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

Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

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 #787 Carousel; cure after each one and cap the edge.

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

Who it suits

Fall and winter sets: green swings cool or warm with the base, so check it against the client”s skin.

Editorial nail art, paired with a gold accent nail.

Clients who ask for green by name or by number 787.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #787 Carousel 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 787 wear longer than one thick one.
