DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #774 Gypsy Light
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #774 Gypsy Light is a bold red with pink undertones 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 #774 Gypsy Light gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #774 Gypsy Light 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 best seller 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.
- Light-catching finish: the shimmer shows most on a smooth, well-buffed surface.

How to apply the gel
- Prep: clean the nail, push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and dehydrate.
- Base: one thin layer of DND Base #500 (or a DC or DIVA base), cured under the lamp.
- Colour: two thin coats of DND #774 Gypsy Light, capping the free edge, curing each coat.
- Top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, then a drop of cuticle oil.
Who it suits
- Bridal and bridesmaid bookings: pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows slowly.
- Everyday short square sets, paired with a milky white for a soft French.
- Clients who ask for bold red with pink undertones shimmer by name or by number 774.
Which option to choose
The gel half of DND #774 Gypsy Light is for services that need up to three weeks of wear. The lacquer half is for pedicures, quick changes and the bottle a client takes home. Buying them as a duo keeps both on the same number.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 774 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Gypsy Light: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, DND pink shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #774 Gypsy Light 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 Gypsy Light?+
DND #774 Gypsy Light is a bold red with pink undertones 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.
