DND DC Gel + Lacquer Duo #259 Glossy Stars
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #259 Glossy Stars is a shimmer yellow 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.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #259 Glossy Stars gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #259 Glossy Stars nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 259 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.
- Soft shimmer: fine shimmer catches the light without the grit of a glitter.

How to apply the gel

- Finish: seal with DC Top #900 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits
- Spring sets: yellow pigment is naturally sheer, so plan on a third thin coat or a white base.
- Pastel nail art, paired with a white base coat underneath.
- Clients who ask for shimmer yellow by name or by number 259.
Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DC #259 Glossy Stars is for services that need up to three weeks of wear. The lacquer half is for pedicures, quick changes and the bottle a client takes home. Buying them as a duo keeps both on the same number.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 259 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #259 Glossy Stars 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 Glossy Stars?+
DND DC #259 Glossy Stars is a shimmer yellow 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 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.
