DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #990 Violet Dusk

DND #990 Violet Dusk is a pastel violet 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: Violet a good day go?.

What you get

1 x DND #990 Violet Dusk gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #990 Violet Dusk 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

Get the nail ready: remove oils and shine so the base can grip.

Base gel: DND Base #500, one thin layer, cured.

Two colour coats: keep each coat of DND #990 Violet Dusk thin; thick layers cure unevenly.

No-wipe top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, no cleanse step needed.

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 pastel violet by name or by number 990.

Which option to choose

Gel or lacquer? With DND #990 Violet Dusk 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.
