- Quick cure: each thin colour coat cures in 30 to 60 seconds under an LED lamp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #175 Berry Red 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 Berry Red?+
DND DC #175 Berry Red is a shimmer red with a shimmer 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.
