Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #052 Walnut Brown arrives as a complete gel kit: the base gel, the top gel, the gel colour and its matching lacquer. The shade reads as true rich chocolate brown creme.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC Base Gel, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL)

Why techs stock it
- Bigger bottle: DC bottles hold 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), a little more than the classic 0.5 fl oz DND bottle.
- Soak-off removal: the gel comes off with acetone at the next appointment.
- 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 DND DC Base Gel and cure it.
- Two thin coats: apply DND DC #052 Walnut Brown 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
- Fall and Winter sets: brown looks richer on deeper skin tones and softer on fair ones.
- Coffin and almond shapes, paired with a nude base for an ombre fade.
- Clients who ask for true rich chocolate brown creme by name or by number 052.
Which option to choose
If you already own a DND DC base and top gel, the duo listing for #052 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 Walnut Brown: DC #052 as a gel and lacquer duo, DC gel and lacquer shades, gel kits with base and top and brown 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 #052 Walnut Brown gel polish, the matching DND DC #052 Walnut Brown lacquer and DND DC Top Gel.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #052 Walnut Brown 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 Walnut Brown?+
DND DC #052 Walnut Brown is a true rich chocolate brown creme. 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.
