Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #479 Queen of Grape is a shimmer purple from DND's original gel and lacquer line, the one with more than 1,000 numbered shades. Choose the gel alone, the gel with its matching lacquer, or the lacquer on its own.
What you get
- Gel Polish Only: one 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) gel bottle
- Lacquer Only: one 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) air-dry lacquer
- Gel Polish & Lacquer: the gel bottle and the matching lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) each
Why techs stock it
- Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.
- 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.
- Soft shimmer: fine shimmer catches the light without the grit of a glitter.

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 #479 Queen of Grape 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 Queen of Grape?+
DND #479 Queen of Grape is a shimmer purple with a shimmer 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.
