Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #2469 C'est La Vie is a sheer neutral 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 #2469 C'est La Vie gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #2469 C'est La Vie nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 2469 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.
- Built for a base coat: DC is designed to sit on DC Base #800, which is what holds it through the wear cycle.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

- Finish: seal with DC Top #900 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits
- Bridal and bridesmaid bookings: 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 neutral pink with deeper coverage by name or by number 2469.
Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DC #2469 C'est La Vie is for services that need up to three weeks of wear. The lacquer half is for pedicures, quick changes and the bottle a client takes home. Buying them as a duo keeps both on the same number.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #2469 C'est La Vie 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 C'est La Vie?+
DND DC #2469 C'est La Vie is a sheer neutral 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 45 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.
