DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #916 Am I The Drama
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #916 Am I The Drama is a glitter pink 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: Plenty of sparkle adds drama to a soft pink polish that bears a hint of purple.
What you get
- 1 x DND #916 Am I The Drama gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #916 Am I The Drama nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
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.
- A system you already run: it works with DND Base #500 and DND Top #600, and with DC or DIVA base and top.
- Packed sparkle: works alone or as an accent nail over a cream shade.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND #916 Am I The Drama you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Check the shade first
Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client's hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #916 Am I The Drama 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.
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.
How do I remove it?+
File through the top coat, soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes, then ease the softened gel off with a pusher. The lacquer comes off with regular polish remover.
