DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #628 Dark Rosewood
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #628 Dark Rosewood is a caramelized 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 #628 Dark Rosewood gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #628 Dark Rosewood 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.
- Light-catching finish: the shimmer shows most on a smooth, well-buffed surface.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND #628 Dark Rosewood 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 Dark Rosewood: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, DND brown shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #628 Dark Rosewood 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 Dark Rosewood?+
DND #628 Dark Rosewood is a caramelized 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.
