What you get
- 1 x DND DC Base Gel, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL)

Why techs stock it
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 028 will not clash with a classic DND code.
- Gold-bottle DC formula: DC is DND's premium line, with richer pigment and a glossier finish than the classic range.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

How to apply the gel
- Prep: buff, cleanse and dehydrate.
- Base coat: DND DC Base Gel, 30 seconds under LED.
- Colour: DND DC #028 Copen Blue in two thin layers; thick layers can cure unevenly and chip.
- Top coat: DND DC Top Gel, 90 seconds under LED, then cuticle oil.
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
- Summer sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.
- Pedicures, paired with a silver chrome accent.
- Clients who ask for sophisticated blue between teal and cobalt by name or by number 028.
Which option to choose
If you already own a DND DC base and top gel, the duo listing for #028 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the combo?+
Four 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) bottles: DND DC Base Gel, the DND DC #028 Copen Blue gel polish, the matching DND DC #028 Copen Blue lacquer and DND DC Top Gel.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #028 Copen Blue 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 Copen Blue?+
DND DC #028 Copen Blue is a sophisticated blue between teal and cobalt. 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.
