DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #448 Snow Flake
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #448 Snow Flake is a nude 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: A creamy whitest white Additional note: For best results, ensure high opacity gel polishes are cured for a longer period.
What you get
- 1 x DND #448 Snow Flake gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #448 Snow Flake nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, which keeps the natural nail in better shape between sets.
- 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.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND #448 Snow Flake is for services that need up to three weeks of wear. The lacquer half is for pedicures, quick changes and the bottle a client takes home. Buying them as a duo keeps both on the same number.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #448 Snow Flake 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 Snow Flake?+
DND #448 Snow Flake is a nude. 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 60 seconds; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. Thin coats cure all the way through, thick ones do not.
Which base and top coat should I use?+
DND recommends DND Base #500 and DND Top #600 No Cleanse. DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, so any of them will work.
