Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #781 Starry Night is a rich yellow-toned gold with decadent shimmer gel polish from DND's original gel and lacquer line, the one with more than 1,000 numbered shades, sold here as a single bottle.
What you get
- 1 x DND #781 Starry Night gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- Gel only: the matching lacquer is not in this listing
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.
- Light-catching finish: the shimmer shows most on a smooth, well-buffed surface.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? DND #781 Starry Night here is the gel: cured under a lamp, soak-off, up to three weeks of wear on a base and top gel. The lacquer version air-dries and lasts about a week.
Lamp check
An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
More to pair with Starry Night: DND #781 as a gel and lacquer duo, DND gel colours, gold gel and lacquer and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is Starry Night?+

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.
