What you get

- Gel only: the matching lacquer is not in this listing
Why techs stock it
- Easy to restock: DND numbers every shade, so a client favourite 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
This listing is the DND #486 Classical Violet gel bottle on its own, for techs who only run gel services. If you also want the lacquer for pedicures or take-home touch-ups, look for the same number as a duo.
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
What colour is Classical Violet?+
DND #486 Classical Violet is a chic gray-toned purple with a creamy 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.
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.
