DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #676 Universal Red

DND #676 Universal Red is a glitter blue 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.

In DND's words: A deep and shimmery burgundy with red & blue glitter.

What you get

• 1 x DND #676 Universal Red gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
• 1 x DND #676 Universal Red 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.
• Packed sparkle: works alone or as an accent nail over a cream shade.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

1. Prep the plate: shape, clean up the cuticle, lightly buff and wipe with a dehydrator.
2. Lay the base: a thin coat of DND Base #500, cured.
3. Build the colour: two thin coats of DND #676 Universal Red; cure after each one and cap the edge.
4. Seal: finish with DND Top #600 No Cleanse and cure.

Who it suits

• Winter sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.
• Pedicures, paired with a silver chrome accent.
• Clients who ask for glitter blue by name or by number 676.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND #676 Universal Red duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.

Restocking

Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 676 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.
