Why techs stock it
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 043 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

- Colour: one thin coat of DND DC #043 Dark Salmon, cured 30 to 60 seconds; repeat for the second coat.
- Top: DND DC Top Gel, cured 90 seconds under LED.
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
- Winter 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 steely blue cool-toned purple by name or by number 043.
Which option to choose
If you already own a DND DC base and top gel, the duo listing for #043 adds just the colour. If you do not, the combo saves ordering the base and top separately.
Storing the bottles
Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
More to pair with Dark Salmon: DC #043 as a gel and lacquer duo, DC gel and lacquer shades, gel kits with base and top and blue 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 #043 Dark Salmon gel polish, the matching DND DC #043 Dark Salmon lacquer and DND DC Top Gel.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #043 Dark Salmon 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 Dark Salmon?+
DND DC #043 Dark Salmon is a sophisticated steely blue cool-toned purple. 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.
