DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #788 Deja Vu

DND #788 Deja Vu 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.

What you get

1 x DND #788 Deja Vu gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #788 Deja Vu 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 #788 Deja Vu; 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.

Clients who ask for green by name or by number 788.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #788 Deja Vu 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 788 wear longer than one thick one.
