Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #781 Starry Night is a rich yellow-toned gold with decadent shimmer 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 #781 Starry Night gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #781 Starry Night nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Professional bottle size: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), the standard salon size rather than a mini.
- Matched by number: the gel and the lacquer share one shade number, so reorders and client records stay simple.
- A system you already run: it works with DND Base #500 and DND Top #600, and with DC or DIVA base and top.
- Light-catching finish: the shimmer shows most on a smooth, well-buffed surface.

- Top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, then a drop of cuticle oil.
Who it suits
- Winter sets: gold catches light unevenly on a thick coat, so build it in thin layers.
- Wedding guest nails, paired with a nude base.
- Clients who ask for rich yellow-toned gold with decadent shimmer by name or by number 781.
Which option to choose
The gel half of DND #781 Starry Night 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.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 781 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.
More to pair with Starry Night: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, gold gel and lacquer and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #781 Starry Night 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.
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.
How do I remove it?+
File through the top coat, soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes, then ease the softened gel off with a pusher. The lacquer comes off with regular polish remover.
