DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #585 Lotus
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #585 Lotus is a creamy mid-tone pink with warm undertones 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 #585 Lotus gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #585 Lotus nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- A system you already run: it works with DND Base #500 and DND Top #600, and with DC or DIVA base and top.
- Up to three weeks of wear: when it goes on over a base gel and under a top gel, cured layer by layer.
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, which keeps the natural nail in better shape between sets.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Who it suits

- Clients who ask for creamy mid-tone pink with warm undertones by name or by number 585.
Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND #585 Lotus you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Lamp check
An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
More to pair with Lotus: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, DND nude shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #585 Lotus 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 Lotus?+
DND #585 Lotus is a creamy mid-tone pink with warm undertones. 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.
