DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #627 Loving Walnut
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #627 Loving Walnut is a glazed brown shimmer 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 #627 Loving Walnut gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #627 Loving Walnut nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.
- Professional bottle size: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), the standard salon size rather than a mini.
- Matched by number: the gel and the lacquer share one shade number, so reorders and client records stay simple.
- Soft shimmer: fine shimmer catches the light without the grit of a glitter.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND #627 Loving Walnut 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #627 Loving Walnut 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 Loving Walnut?+
DND #627 Loving Walnut is a glazed brown shimmer with a shimmer 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.
