DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #459 Muted Berry
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #459 Muted Berry is a subtle deep neutral purple for the minimalist from DND's original gel and lacquer line, the one with more than 1,000 numbered shades. 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 #459 Muted Berry gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #459 Muted Berry nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Easy to restock: DND numbers every shade, so a client favourite is one code away from a reorder.
- Two services from one colour: use the gel for the manicure and the lacquer for toes or at-home touch-ups.
- Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND #459 Muted Berry 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.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 459 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #459 Muted Berry 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 Muted Berry?+
DND #459 Muted Berry is a subtle deep neutral purple for the minimalist. 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 DND Base #500 and DND Top #600 No Cleanse. DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, so any of them will work.
