DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #892 Berry Groove

DND #892 Berry Groove is a sheer red 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 berry red sheer Please Note: Our Sheer Polishes are buildable giving you the desired glassy jelly look or working up to a fuller coverage.

What you get

1 x DND #892 Berry Groove gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #892 Berry Groove 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.

Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

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 #892 Berry Groove; cure after each one and cap the edge.

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

Who it suits

Holiday and date-night sets: red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one heavy one.

Which option to choose

Gel or lacquer? With DND #892 Berry Groove you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.

Removal

File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
