DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #425 Terra Cotta
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #425 Terra Cotta is an electric bright coral with red undertones 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 #425 Terra Cotta gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #425 Terra Cotta nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- 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.
- Up to three weeks of wear: when it goes on over a base gel and under a top gel, cured layer by layer.
- Neon brightness: neon shades glow brightest over a white base.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND #425 Terra Cotta 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 #425 Terra Cotta 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 Terra Cotta?+
DND #425 Terra Cotta is an electric bright coral with red undertones with a neon 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 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.
