DND & DC & DIVA - All Products

DND at DTK: one brand, many product families

DND stands for Daisy Nail Design, a professional nail brand made in Southern California. Most salons know it for gel and lacquer duos, but the brand covers more than colour gel: there is a premium DC range, the trend-led DIVA range, a HEMA & TPO Free line, acrylic and dip powder, base and top gels, and clear gel tips. This page holds every DND product DTK stocks, so the grid is large. The fastest way to shop it is to pick the family you need first, using the buttons above the grid or the guide below, and then filter by colour, availability or price.

A short note on the formula before you start. The gel colour lines are cruelty-free and vegan, and they cure under an LED or UV lamp. The standard DND gel contains HEMA; only the dedicated HEMA & TPO Free line is made without it. DTK is an authorized DND reseller.

The four gel and lacquer lines

Every DND colour line is sold as a duo: a gel polish bottle and a nail lacquer bottle that share one shade number. The gel goes on the hands under the lamp, the lacquer air-dries for toes or for a client to take home. Each line has its own page with the full shade range and a how-to:

DND gel and lacquer duos

The original classic DND range, the largest of the four, with shade numbers from the 400s upward and 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) bottles. It runs on Base #500 and Top #600 No Cleanse.

DC gel and lacquer

The premium sister line in gold bottles, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), with richer pigment and a glossier finish. DC has its own shade numbers and must go on over a base coat, DC Base #800, with Top #900 No Cleanse.

DIVA duo collection

DND's most trend-forward line: 288 duos grouped into themed colour charts, in 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) bottles, with DIVA Base #100 and Top #300.

HEMA and TPO free duos

A separate DND duo line made without HEMA and without TPO, for clients who react to HEMA. It works with any DND, DC or DIVA base and top gel.

Need only one half of a duo? Gel-only bottles are on DND gel colors and lacquer-only bottles on DND nail lacquer.

Which DND page should you open?

• A client asked for a DND number: start on the classic duo page. If the number has four digits in the 2400s or 2500s, or the client said "DC", go to the DC page instead, since DC numbers are separate.
• You want a seasonal palette to display: the DIVA page groups shades by themed chart, and the season pages further down this guide pull the matching colours together.
• A client has reacted to HEMA: the HEMA & TPO Free page is the only DND line that carries that claim.
• You do dip or acrylic sets: go to the powder pages listed below rather than the gel pages; powder is numbered on its own listings.
• You are short on base or top: the base and top page carries DND #500 and #600 and DC #800 and #900, in brush bottles and refills; DIVA #100 and #300 come in the DIVA combos.
• You are opening a station or a salon wall: look at the starter kits, part sets and One Line sets described in the bulk section.

Ordering the right DND shade in four steps

The same number can mean a different colour in classic DND, DC and DIVA, because each line keeps its own numbering. A short routine keeps reorders right:

1. Confirm the line first. A white gel bottle with a coloured lacquer twin is classic DND and gold bottles are DC; for DIVA or HEMA & TPO Free, check the line name on your last order or the client card.
2. Note the shade number and name together. The number finds the listing; the name confirms you are on the right line.
3. Choose the format. A single duo for one colour, a combo if you also need base and top, a gel-only or lacquer-only bottle if one half is still full, or a part set if several neighbouring numbers are low.
4. Check the base and top you have on the station. DC needs DC Base #800 under the colour; the other lines can share any DND, DC or DIVA base and top.

DND product families at a glance

DND and DC acrylic and dip powder

Alongside the gels, DND makes colour powder that can be used as dip or as acrylic. There are two colour ranges. The classic DND powders are listed by shade number on DND acrylic and dip powder, and the DC powders, in 45 g (1.6 oz) jars, sit on DC acrylic and dip powder. A dip manicure sets without a UV lamp, which is why many salons keep a powder wall next to the gel shelf.

For French and pink-and-white work, the DND Dap Dip Powder comes in 16 oz containers in shades such as Crystal Clear, Super White, Natural, Light Pink and Medium Pink. DND describes it as compatible with dip liquids and with monomer for an acrylic application, so one jar serves both services. Find those on DND pink and white powder. Each powder listing shows its own size, so check the product page before you reorder.

Base, top and the rest of the system

All DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, and the numbered tops #600, #900 and #300 are no-cleanse, so there is no sticky layer to wipe after curing. Matching the base and top to the colour line still gives the most predictable wear: #500 and #600 for classic DND, #800 and #900 for DC, #100 and #300 for DIVA. Combos on the duo pages bundle one colour with its base and top; the base and top page sells them on their own and in 16 oz refills for busy stations.

The routine is the same on every line. Prep the nail and remove the shine, then cure a thin base layer for 30 seconds under LED or 2 minutes under UV. Apply the colour in two thin coats, capping the free edge each time, and cure each coat for 30 to 60 seconds under LED or about 2 minutes under UV. Seal with the no-cleanse top, cure it fully and finish with cuticle oil. Thin layers are the habit that matters most: a thick layer cures unevenly and leads to chipping and peeling.

With correct prep and the full base, colour and top system, DND gel lasts up to three weeks. To take it off, file the top layer to break the seal, soak in 100% acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and lift the softened gel with an orangewood stick rather than scraping. The matching lacquer air-dries in about 2 to 3 minutes per coat, lasts around 5 to 7 days with a base and top coat, and comes off with regular polish remover.

Gel tips and accessories

DND Full Clear Gel Tips come in 25 numbered options: five shapes (coffin, square, stiletto, almond and round), each in lengths from extra short to extra long. They are on DND gel tips. The hub also carries classic DND nail tips in packs of 50 (round natural, pointing white and pointing black) and a few acrylic brushes for powder work.

Buying DND in bulk

• Starter kits: five classic DND or DC duos with the matching base and top gel, a quick way to open a gel menu.
• Part sets: a run of consecutive shade numbers from one colour chart in a single order, collected on DND full collection sets. When a shade in a part is sold out, the listing names it and it is left out of the box.
• One Line sets: several hundred classic DND duos, a DC line set and a powder line set, for salons that want most of a range in one shipment.
• Colour swatches: the DND and DC colour charts let clients pick from real painted tips instead of a screen.

Prices are shown on each listing and change with stock, so the product page is the place to check the current figure.

What the classic DND colour chart looks like

If you are building a DND shelf from scratch, it helps to know how the classic chart is weighted. Pinks are by far the biggest family, followed by glitters and then purples. Blues, reds and nudes form the next tier, with oranges, corals, greens and golds after them, and only a handful of browns, greys, whites, yellows and a single black. In practice that means a small starter shelf should lean on pinks and nudes for everyday sets, a few reds and a black for classics, and a glitter or two for accents, then grow into purples and blues as clients ask.

A few classic numbers worth knowing by heart: #601 Ballet Pink is a sheer soft pink for French work and bridal sets, #868 Gossip Girl is a medium rosy pink, #429 Boston University Red is a true crimson, and #751 Cherry Mocha is a cherry red with a brown undertone. On the DC side, #2460 Coconut Silk is a milky white-pink often used as a French base.

Shop DND by season

When clients ask for "something for fall" rather than a number, the season pages save time. DND fall gel colours collects the classic gel shades tagged for autumn, and DND fall powder colours does the same for acrylic and dip. For the cold months, DND winter duos gathers deep reds, greens and glitters.
