Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #211 Lighten is a metallic pink gel polish from DND's premium DC line, poured into gold 0.6 fl oz bottles, sold here as a single bottle.
In DND's words: The allure of charm, Lighten is beautiful like a soft pink rose and dazzles in even a small bit of light.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #211 Lighten gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) gold DC bottle
- Gel only: no lacquer in this listing
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 45 seconds under an LED lamp.
- High-shine metallic: the metallic finish shows every ridge, so buff the plate smooth first.

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 #211 Lighten thin, cap the free edge, cure each coat 30 to 45 seconds under LED.
- Finish: seal with DC Top #900 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits
- Bridal and bridesmaid bookings: pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows slowly.
- Everyday short square sets, paired with a milky white for a soft French.
- Clients who ask for metallic pink by name or by number 211.
Which option to choose
A metallic gel like DND DC #211 Lighten is usually one or two nails in a set, or a full set for holidays and events. It wears on the same DC Base #800 and DC Top #900 as the cream DC shades.
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.
More to pair with Lighten: the DC Platinum collection, the full DC range and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the matching lacquer included?+
No. This listing is the 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) gel bottle only. Use a DC base and top gel with it for the full wear time.
What colour is Lighten?+
DND DC #211 Lighten is a metallic pink with a metallic 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 45 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.
