Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #102 Charcoal Burst is a moody grey charcoal 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 #102 Charcoal Burst gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #102 Charcoal Burst nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Soak-off removal: the gel comes off with acetone at the next appointment.
- Gold-bottle DC formula: DC is DND's premium line, with richer pigment and a glossier finish than the classic range.
- Quick cure: each thin colour coat cures in 30 to 60 seconds under an LED lamp.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

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 #102 Charcoal Burst 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: grey is a neutral that works year round and does not fight an outfit.
- Short nails, paired with a matte top coat.
- Clients who ask for moody grey charcoal by name or by number 102.
Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DC #102 Charcoal Burst 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 102 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Charcoal Burst: DC gel and lacquer duos, gray 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 #102 Charcoal Burst 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 Charcoal Burst?+
DND DC #102 Charcoal Burst is a moody grey charcoal. 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.
