Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #462 Desert Spice is a mesmerizing pot of gold with rainbow glitter 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 #462 Desert Spice gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #462 Desert Spice nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, which keeps the natural nail in better shape between sets.
- 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.
- Packed sparkle: works alone or as an accent nail over a cream shade.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND #462 Desert Spice 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 462 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 #462 Desert Spice 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 Desert Spice?+
DND #462 Desert Spice is a mesmerizing pot of gold with rainbow glitter with a glitter 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 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.
