Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #623 Santa Stars is a festive orange red 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 #623 Santa Stars gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #623 Santa Stars 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.
- Glitter finish: glitter sits best under a generous top coat so the surface stays smooth.

- Seal: finish with DND Top #600 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits
- Holiday and date-night sets: red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one heavy one.
- Classic pedicures, paired with a glossy no-wipe top.
- Clients who ask for festive orange red glitter by name or by number 623.
Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND #623 Santa Stars duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Removal
File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
More to pair with Santa Stars: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, DND red shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #623 Santa Stars 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 Santa Stars?+
DND #623 Santa Stars is a festive orange red 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.
