DND DC Gel + Lacquer Duo #305 Bon Appetit
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #305 Bon Appetit is a peach 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 #305 Bon Appetit gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #305 Bon Appetit nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Quick cure: each thin colour coat cures in 30 to 60 seconds under an LED lamp.
- No-wipe finish: DC Top #900 No Cleanse leaves no sticky layer after curing.
- Bigger bottle: DC bottles hold 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), a little more than the classic 0.5 fl oz DND bottle.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DC #305 Bon Appetit duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
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.
More to pair with Bon Appetit: DC gel and lacquer duos, peach gel and lacquer shades, the DC Part 9 Guilty Pleasures collection and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #305 Bon Appetit 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 Bon Appetit?+
DND DC #305 Bon Appetit is a peach. 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 60 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.
