Which brand of gel polish is best for nail salons, and how does DND compare?

DND Gel Polish is the salon-standard professional gel in Vietnamese-American nail salons across the United States, delivering up to 21 days of chip-resistant wear with ~91% retention. Compared to OPI, Gelish, and Kiara Sky, DND offers the widest color range (500+ shades), a fast 10-15 minute soak-off, and a significantly lower per-bottle cost — making it the highest-value pro gel for high-volume salons. DTK Nail Supply stocks the full DND Gel Colors 2026 lineup.

How many DND gel polish colors are there, and which are bestsellers?

The DND Gel Colors 2026 collection at DTK Nail Supply includes 500+ classic shades, numbered DND #001 to DND #783 and organized into nudes (~220 shades; DND #654 is the #1 bestseller), reds (~180 shades; DND #471 is the signature), pastels, glitters, holiday, and Cat Eye families. DND releases new seasonal drops each quarter. Every gel shade is lab-matched to a DND Nail Lacquer for matching gel + lacquer manicures.

What's the difference between DND Gel, DND DC, DND Diva, and DND HEMA & TPO Free?

DND offers four professional gel lines. DND Gel (classic) is the original 500+ shade salon-standard gel polish, the most-used DND line in Vietnamese-American nail salons. DND DC (Designer Collection) is the premium tier — 645+ shades with curated finishes like Platinum, Mermaid, and Cat Eye. DND Diva is the luxury creamy & pigmented line with seasonal designer collections (Mirrorball, Happy Trails, Raise Your Glass Platinum). DND HEMA & TPO Free is the clean-formula line — 297 shades without HEMA or TPO, ideal for sensitive skin, gel allergies, or pregnancy. DTK Nail Supply stocks all four lines.

Does DND gel need UV or LED, and how long is the cure time?

DND Gel Polish cures under both UV and LED lamps. With a professional 48W+ LED lamp, cure each layer for 30 seconds (base coat) to 60 seconds (color and top coat) — about 4 minutes of total cure time. UV lamps (36W+) work but require ~2 minutes per coat. A complete DND gel manicure takes ~25 minutes from prep to finish.

How long does DND gel polish last, and how is it removed?

DND Gel delivers up to 21 days (3 weeks) of chip-resistant wear when applied with DND Base Coat and Top Gel and cured under a 48W+ UV/LED lamp. Removal is soak-off: wrap each nail in cotton soaked with 100% acetone and foil for 10-15 minutes — among the fastest soak-off times in professional gel. No e-file drilling required, which protects the natural nail.
