DND DC Gel + Lacquer Duo #101 Blue Plum
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #101 Blue Plum is a deep plum purple with ash undertones 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 #101 Blue Plum gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #101 Blue Plum nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 101 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.
- Built for a base coat: DC is designed to sit on DC Base #800, which is what holds it through the wear cycle.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

How to apply the gel
- Start clean: the nail must be fully prepped and free of oil.
- DC base first: DC needs a base coat, so lay DC Base #800 and cure it.
- Two thin coats: apply DND DC #101 Blue Plum thin, cap the free edge, cure each coat 30 to 60 seconds under LED.
- Finish: seal with DC Top #900 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits
- Winter sets: purple carries red and blue pigment, so it shifts between salon light and daylight.
- Fall bookings, paired with a soft pink base.
- Clients who ask for deep plum purple with ash undertones by name or by number 101.
Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DC #101 Blue Plum 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.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 101 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Blue Plum: DC gel and lacquer duos, purple gel and lacquer shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #101 Blue Plum 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 Blue Plum?+
DND DC #101 Blue Plum is a deep plum purple with ash undertones. 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.
