DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #927 Blue Illusion
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #927 Blue Illusion is a glitter blue 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 #927 Blue Illusion gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #927 Blue Illusion nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- 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.
- Up to three weeks of wear: when it goes on over a base gel and under a top gel, cured layer by layer.
- Glitter finish: glitter sits best under a generous top coat so the surface stays smooth.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND #927 Blue Illusion you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Storing the bottles
Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #927 Blue Illusion 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 Blue Illusion?+
DND #927 Blue Illusion is a glitter blue 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.
