Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #2439 Milky White is a sheer white 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.
In DND's words: A sheer milky white with natural tones to blend in.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #2439 Milky White gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #2439 Milky White nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Quick cure: each thin colour coat cures in 30 to 60 seconds under an LED lamp.
- No-wipe finish: DC Top #900 No Cleanse leaves no sticky layer after curing.
- Bigger bottle: DC bottles hold 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), a little more than the classic 0.5 fl oz DND bottle.
- Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DC #2439 Milky White 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 Milky White: 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 #2439 Milky White 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 Milky White?+
DND DC #2439 Milky White is a sheer white 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.
