DND Gel Polish - 626 Brighten Stars
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #626 Brighten Stars is a confetti-inspired silver-gray with multi-colored glitter 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
- 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.
- A system you already run: it works with DND Base #500 and DND Top #600, and with DC or DIVA base and top.
- Packed sparkle: works alone or as an accent nail over a cream shade.

- Get the nail ready: remove oils and shine so the base can grip.
- Base gel: DND Base #500, one thin layer, cured.
- Two colour coats: keep each coat of DND #626 Brighten Stars thin; thick layers cure unevenly.
- No-wipe top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, no cleanse step needed.
Who it suits
- Minimal sets: grey is a neutral that works year round and does not fight an outfit.
- Short nails, paired with a matte top coat.
- Clients who ask for confetti-inspired silver-gray with multi-colored glitter by name or by number 626.
Which option to choose
Choose Gel Polish Only if you only run gel services, Gel Polish & Lacquer if you also do pedicures or sell take-home bottles, and Lacquer Only for regular polish services. All three are the same Brighten Stars shade.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 626 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Brighten Stars: DND gel colours, DND gray shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #626 Brighten Stars 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 Brighten Stars?+
DND #626 Brighten Stars is a confetti-inspired silver-gray with multi-colored glitter 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.
