DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #712 Ruth
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #712 Ruth is a sheer orange 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 #712 Ruth gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #712 Ruth 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.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

- Clients who ask for sheer orange by name or by number 712.
Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND #712 Ruth duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 712 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Ruth: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, DND orange shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #712 Ruth 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 Ruth?+
DND #712 Ruth is a sheer orange with a sheer 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.
