Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #2438 Whipped Cream is a sheer milky white with warmer undertones from DND's premium DC line, poured into gold 0.6 fl oz bottles. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #2438 Whipped Cream gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #2438 Whipped Cream nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Built for a base coat: DC is designed to sit on DC Base #800, which is what holds it through the wear cycle.
- Soak-off removal: the gel comes off with acetone at the next appointment.
- Gold-bottle DC formula: DC is DND's premium line, with richer pigment and a glossier finish than the classic range.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DC #2438 Whipped Cream you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Lamp check
An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
More to pair with Whipped Cream: DC gel and lacquer duos, white gel and lacquer shades, the DC Part 13 Sheer collection and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #2438 Whipped Cream 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 Whipped Cream?+
DND DC #2438 Whipped Cream is a sheer milky white with warmer undertones with a sheer finish. 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.
Which base and top coat should I use?+
DND recommends DC Base #800 and DC Top #900 No Cleanse. DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, so any of them will work.
