Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #167 Utah Vale is a sheer pink 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.
In DND's words: A subdued dusty neutral pink with beige undertones (can be sheer).
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #167 Utah Vale gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #167 Utah Vale nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 167 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.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #167 Utah Vale 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 Utah Vale?+
DND DC #167 Utah Vale is a sheer pink with a sheer 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.
