Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #817 Circus Chic is a purple 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 #817 Circus Chic 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
- A system you already run: it works with DND Base #500 and DND Top #600, and with DC or DIVA base and top.
- Up to three weeks of wear: when it goes on over a base gel and under a top gel, cured layer by layer.
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, which keeps the natural nail in better shape between sets.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? DND #817 Circus Chic 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.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 817 wear longer than one thick one.
