DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #668 Sweet Pistachia
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #668 Sweet Pistachia is a neon mint green with pastel 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 #668 Sweet Pistachia gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #668 Sweet Pistachia 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.
- Bright finish: a neon needs thin, even coats to avoid streaks.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND #668 Sweet Pistachia duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 668 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #668 Sweet Pistachia 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 Sweet Pistachia?+
DND #668 Sweet Pistachia is a neon mint green with pastel undertones with a neon 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.
