DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #803 Tangerine Dream

DND #803 Tangerine Dream is an orange 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 #803 Tangerine Dream gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #803 Tangerine Dream 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

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 #803 Tangerine Dream; cure after each one and cap the edge.

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

Who it suits

Summer and vacation sets: orange warms up tanned and olive skin.

Pedicures, paired with a white tip.

Clients who ask for orange by name or by number 803.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #803 Tangerine Dream 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 803 wear longer than one thick one.

More to pair with Tangerine Dream: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, DND orange shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
