Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #317 Cookie Chips is a golden caramel brown neutral 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 #317 Cookie Chips gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #317 Cookie Chips 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.

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 #317 Cookie Chips thin, cap the free edge, cure each coat 30 to 60 seconds under LED.
- Finish: seal with DC Top #900 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits
- Fall sets: gold catches light unevenly on a thick coat, so build it in thin layers.
- Wedding guest nails, paired with a nude base.
- Clients who ask for golden caramel brown neutral by name or by number 317.
Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DC #317 Cookie Chips duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 317 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Cookie Chips: DC gel and lacquer duos, gold 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 #317 Cookie Chips 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 Cookie Chips?+
DND DC #317 Cookie Chips is a golden caramel brown neutral. 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.
