Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #918 Pink Aura 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: Show your pride in being a girly girl.
What you get
- 1 x DND #918 Pink Aura gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #918 Pink Aura nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- 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.
- Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.
- Glitter finish: glitter sits best under a generous top coat so the surface stays smooth.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND #918 Pink Aura you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
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
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #918 Pink Aura 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 Pink Aura?+
DND #918 Pink Aura is a glitter pink with a glitter 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.
