Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #892 Berry Groove arrives as a complete gel kit: the base gel, the top gel, the gel colour and its matching lacquer. The shade reads as sheer red.
In DND's words: A berry red sheer Please Note: Our Sheer Polishes are buildable giving you the desired glassy jelly look or working up to a fuller coverage.
What you get
- 1 x DND Base Gel, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)

Why techs stock it
- 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.
- Easy to restock: DND numbers every shade, so a client favourite is one code away from a reorder.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

How to apply the gel
- Prep the plate: shape, clean up the cuticle, lightly buff and wipe with a dehydrator.
- Lay the base: a thin coat of DND Base Gel, cured.
- Build the colour: two thin coats of DND #892 Berry Groove; cure after each one and cap the edge.
- Seal: finish with DND Top Gel and cure.
Every bottle you need for these steps is in the box, so the base, colour and top all come from the same DND line.
Who it suits
- Spring sets: red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one heavy one.
- Classic pedicures, paired with a glossy top gel.
- Clients who ask for sheer red by name or by number 892.
Which option to choose
Combo or duo: the colour gel and lacquer are the same in both. The combo simply adds DND Base Gel and DND Top 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the combo?+
Four 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) bottles: DND Base Gel, the DND #892 Berry Groove gel polish, the matching DND #892 Berry Groove lacquer and DND Top Gel.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #892 Berry Groove 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 Berry Groove?+
DND #892 Berry Groove is a sheer red 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.
