DND DC Gel + Lacquer Duo #008 NY Islanders
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #008 NY Islanders is a sugary sweet vivid hot neon orange from DND's premium DC line, poured into gold 0.6 fl oz bottles. 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 DC #008 NY Islanders gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #008 NY Islanders nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Bigger bottle: DC bottles hold 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), a little more than the classic 0.5 fl oz DND bottle.
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 008 will not clash with a classic DND code.
- Up to three weeks of wear: with DC base, two thin colour coats and DC top, each cured.
- Bright finish: a neon needs thin, even coats to avoid streaks.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DC #008 NY Islanders 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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #008 NY Islanders 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 NY Islanders?+
DND DC #008 NY Islanders is a sugary sweet vivid hot neon orange 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 DC Base #800 and DC Top #900 No Cleanse. DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, so any of them will work.
