DND DC #242 Powder Pink is a pink-lilac sparkle gel polish from DND's premium DC line, poured into gold 0.6 fl oz bottles, sold here as a single bottle.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #242 Powder Pink gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) gold DC bottle
- Gel only: no lacquer in this listing
Why techs stock it
- 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.
- No-wipe finish: DC Top #900 No Cleanse leaves no sticky layer after curing.
- Glitter finish: glitter sits best under a generous top coat so the surface stays smooth.

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 #242 Powder Pink 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 pink-lilac sparkle by name or by number 242.
Which option to choose
A glitter gel like DND DC #242 Powder Pink 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.

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 Powder Pink?+
DND DC #242 Powder Pink is a pink-lilac sparkle with a glitter 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.
