Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #138 Sepia Burst is a blushing pink nail polish with grapefruit 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 #138 Sepia Burst gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #138 Sepia 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.

- Finish: seal with DC Top #900 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DC #138 Sepia Burst you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
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 DC #138 Sepia 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 Sepia Burst?+
DND DC #138 Sepia Burst is a blushing pink nail polish with grapefruit 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.
