Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #053 Spiced Brown is a rich and luscious nature-toned warm brown nude from DND's premium DC line, poured into gold 0.6 fl oz bottles. Choose the gel alone, the gel with its matching lacquer, or the lacquer on its own.
What you get
- Gel Polish Only: one 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) gel bottle
- Gel Polish & Lacquer: the gel bottle and the matching lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) each
- Lacquer Only: one 0.6 fl oz (18 mL) air-dry lacquer
Why techs stock it
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 053 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.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
Choose Gel Polish Only if you only run gel services, Gel Polish & Lacquer if you also do pedicures or sell take-home bottles, and Lacquer Only for regular polish services. All three are the same Spiced Brown shade.
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.
More to pair with Spiced Brown: the full DC range, brown gel and lacquer shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the three options?+
They are the same Spiced Brown shade in different formats: gel polish only, the gel with its matching lacquer, or the lacquer only. Choose by the services you run.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #053 Spiced Brown 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 Spiced Brown?+
DND DC #053 Spiced Brown is a rich and luscious nature-toned warm brown nude. 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.
