Why techs stock it
- Soak-off removal: the gel comes off with acetone at the next appointment.
- Gold-bottle DC formula: DC is DND's premium line, with richer pigment and a glossier finish than the classic range.
- Quick cure: each thin colour coat cures in 30 to 45 seconds under an LED lamp.

Which option to choose
The three options on this page are formats, not shades. Gel for long wear, lacquer for quick services, or both together so the manicure and pedicure 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.
More to pair with Glossy Stars: the full DC range, yellow gel and lacquer shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the three options?+
They are the same Glossy Stars shade in different formats: gel polish only, the gel with its matching lacquer, or the lacquer only. Choose by the services you run.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #259 Glossy Stars as a gel and a lacquer with the same shade number, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure match. The lacquer air-dries, the gel needs an LED or UV lamp.
What colour is Glossy Stars?+
DND DC #259 Glossy Stars is a shimmer yellow with a shimmer finish. Screens show colour differently, so check a swatch stick against the client's skin before the full set.
How long do I cure each coat?+
Under an LED lamp, cure each thin colour coat 30 to 45 seconds; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. Thin coats cure all the way through, thick ones do not.
