In DND's words: A milky white sheer that has clear undertones Please Note: Our Sheer Polishes are buildable giving you the desired glassy jelly look or working up to a fuller coverage.
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
- 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.
- Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

How to apply the gel
- Prep the plate: shape, clean up the cuticle, lightly buff and wipe with a dehydrator.
- Lay the base: a thin coat of DND Base #500, cured.
- Build the colour: two thin coats of DND #861 Tie The Knot; cure after each one and cap the edge.
- Seal: finish with DND Top #600 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits
- Spring and Winter sets: white is the hardest shade to lay down evenly, so keep coats thin and cap the free edge.
- Clean-girl sets, paired with a French tip over a sheer pink.
- Clients who ask for sheer white by name or by number 861.
Which option to choose
Most salons buy DND #861 Tie The Knot as the gel and lacquer pair, so the manicure and pedicure match. The gel-only and lacquer-only options suit techs who already own the other half.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 861 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Tie The Knot: DND gel colours, white gel and lacquer and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #861 Tie The Knot 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 Tie The Knot?+
DND #861 Tie The Knot is a sheer white with a sheer 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.
