DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #966 Good Vibrations

DND #966 Good Vibrations is a pale pastel mauve 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: Are you picking up good vibrations?.

What you get

1 x DND #966 Good Vibrations gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #966 Good Vibrations 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: 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 #966 Good Vibrations, capping the free edge, curing each coat.

Top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, then a drop of cuticle oil.

Who it suits

Evening sets: purple carries red and blue pigment, so it shifts between salon light and daylight.

Fall bookings, paired with a soft pink base.

Clients who ask for pale pastel mauve by name or by number 966.

Which option to choose

Gel or lacquer? With DND #966 Good Vibrations you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.

Storing the bottles

Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
