DND DC #2454 Tutu This Way is a sheer blushing pink with deeper coverage 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 #2454 Tutu This Way gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #2454 Tutu This Way nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Gold-bottle DC formula: DC is DND's premium line, with richer pigment and a glossier finish than the classic range.
- 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.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

Who it suits

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DC #2454 Tutu This Way you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 2454 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Tutu This Way: 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 #2454 Tutu This Way 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 Tutu This Way?+
DND DC #2454 Tutu This Way is a sheer blushing pink with deeper coverage 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.
