DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #523 Rainbow Day
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #523 Rainbow Day is a glitter silver 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.
In DND's words: A shiny disco ball silver delight with larger glitter flakes.
What you get
- 1 x DND #523 Rainbow Day gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #523 Rainbow Day 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
Gel or lacquer? With DND #523 Rainbow Day you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Storing the bottles
Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
More to pair with Rainbow Day: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, silver gel and lacquer and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #523 Rainbow Day 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 Rainbow Day?+
DND #523 Rainbow Day is a glitter silver 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.
