DND #883 Candy Kisses 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 sunset pink sheer Please Note: Our Sheer Polishes are buildable, giving you the desired glassy jelly look or working up to a fuller coverage.
What you get

- 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
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, which keeps the natural nail in better shape between sets.
- Easy to restock: DND numbers every shade, so a client favourite is one code away from a reorder.
- Two services from one colour: use the gel for the manicure and the lacquer for toes or at-home touch-ups.
- Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #883 Candy Kisses 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 Candy Kisses?+
DND #883 Candy Kisses 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.
