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.
- Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.
