Who it suits

- Clients who ask for powerful, mesmerizing, unique cool dusty gray by name or by number 320.
Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DC #320 Cloud Castle 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 320 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Cloud Castle: DC gel and lacquer duos, gray 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 #320 Cloud Castle 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 Cloud Castle?+
DND DC #320 Cloud Castle is a powerful, mesmerizing, unique cool dusty gray. 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.
