Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #870 Tea-Time is a sheer pink 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.
In DND's words: A soft rosy pink sheer Please Note: Our Sheer Polishes are buildable, giving you the desired glassy jelly look or allowing you to work up to 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
- 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.
- Up to three weeks of wear: when it goes on over a base gel and under a top gel, cured layer by layer.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

How to apply the gel
- Prep: clean the nail, push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and dehydrate.
- Base: one thin layer of DND Base #500 (or a DC or DIVA base), cured under the lamp.
- Colour: two thin coats of DND #870 Tea-Time, capping the free edge, curing each coat.
- Top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, then a drop of cuticle oil.
Who it suits
- Spring and Winter sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows slowly.
- Everyday short square sets, paired with a milky white for a soft French.
- Clients who ask for sheer pink by name or by number 870.
Which option to choose
The three options on this page are formats, not shades. Gel for long wear, lacquer for quick services, or both together so the manicure and pedicure match.
Removal
File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
More to pair with Tea-Time: DND gel colours, DND pink shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #870 Tea-Time 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 Tea-Time?+
DND #870 Tea-Time is a sheer pink 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.
