Which option to choose
If you already own a DND DC base and top gel, the duo listing for #290 adds just the colour. If you do not, the combo saves ordering the base and top separately.
Check the shade first
Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client's hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.

Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #290 U Shine, I Shine 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 U Shine, I Shine?+

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.
