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 DND DC Base Gel and cure it.
- Two thin coats: apply DND DC #016 Darken Rose thin, cap the free edge, cure each coat 30 to 60 seconds under LED.
- Finish: seal with DND DC Top Gel and cure.
Every bottle you need for these steps is in the box, so the base, colour and top all come from the same DND DC line.
Who it suits
- Spring sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows slowly.
- Everyday short square sets, paired with a milky white for a soft French.
- Clients who ask for gentle soft pink rose shade by name or by number 016.
Which option to choose
If you already own a DND DC base and top gel, the duo listing for #016 adds just the colour. If you do not, the combo saves ordering the base and top separately.
Removal
File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
More to pair with Darken Rose: DC #016 as a gel and lacquer duo, DC gel and lacquer shades, gel kits with base and top and pink gel and lacquer shades.
Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the combo?+
Four 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) bottles: DND DC Base Gel, the DND DC #016 Darken Rose gel polish, the matching DND DC #016 Darken Rose lacquer and DND DC Top Gel.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #016 Darken Rose 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 Darken Rose?+
DND DC #016 Darken Rose is a gentle soft pink rose shade. 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.
