DND #984 Paper Airplanes is a cool pastel gray 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: Get ready to take off to new destinations with a cool, pale pastel gray polish serving as your wingman.

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.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND #984 Paper Airplanes 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 #984 Paper Airplanes 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 Paper Airplanes?+
DND #984 Paper Airplanes is a cool pastel gray. 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.
