DND DC Gel + Lacquer Duo #2443 - Sheer Sugar
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #2443 Sheer Sugar is a sheer delicate baby pink with white 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 #2443 Sheer Sugar gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #2443 Sheer Sugar nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
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.
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 2443 will not clash with a classic DND code.
- Up to three weeks of wear: with DC base, two thin colour coats and DC top, each cured.
- Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

- Finish: seal with DC Top #900 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits
- Spring and Winter sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows slowly.
- Everyday short square sets, paired with a milky white for a soft French.
- Clients who ask for sheer delicate baby pink with white undertones by name or by number 2443.
Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DC #2443 Sheer Sugar 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 Sheer Sugar: DC gel and lacquer duos, pink 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 #2443 Sheer Sugar 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 Sheer Sugar?+
DND DC #2443 Sheer Sugar is a sheer delicate baby pink with white 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.
