Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #213 Dark Charm is a metallic silver 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: As mysterious as the moon at midnight, Dark Charm has a darker undertone with lots of glimmer in the light.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #213 Dark Charm gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) gold DC bottle
- Gel only: no lacquer in this listing
Why techs stock it
- Bigger bottle: DC bottles hold 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), a little more than the classic 0.5 fl oz DND bottle.
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 213 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.
- High-shine metallic: the metallic finish shows every ridge, so buff the plate smooth first.

Which option to choose
A metallic gel like DND DC #213 Dark Charm 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 Dark Charm: 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 Dark Charm?+
DND DC #213 Dark Charm is a metallic silver 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.
