Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #295 Milky Way is an off white with baby pink undertones 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 #295 Milky Way gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #295 Milky Way nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Built for a base coat: DC is designed to sit on DC Base #800, which is what holds it through the wear cycle.
- 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.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Who it suits
- French manicures: white is the hardest shade to lay down evenly, so keep coats thin and cap the free edge.

- Clients who ask for off white with baby pink undertones by name or by number 295.
Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DC #295 Milky Way 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.
Lamp check
An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #295 Milky Way 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 Milky Way?+
DND DC #295 Milky Way is an off white with baby pink undertones. 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.
