DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #996 So-da-lightful Lime

DND #996 So-da-lightful Lime is a warm 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 #996 So-da-lightful Lime gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #996 So-da-lightful Lime nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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.

Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.

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 #996 So-da-lightful Lime thin; thick layers cure unevenly.

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

Who it suits

Fall and winter sets: green swings cool or warm with the base, so check it against the client”s skin.

Editorial nail art, paired with a gold accent nail.

Clients who ask for warm green by name or by number 996.

Which option to choose

Gel or lacquer? With DND #996 So-da-lightful Lime 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.
