DND Gel Polish - 972 Blush on Wheels
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #972 Blush on Wheels is a pastel pink-taupe 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.
In DND's words: A pastel taupe shade revs up the flirty factor at the drive-in with a kiss and a wink of cool pink.
What you get
- 1 x DND #972 Blush on Wheels 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
- Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.
- 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.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

- Top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, then a drop of cuticle oil.
Who it suits
- 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 pastel pink-taupe by name or by number 972.
Which option to choose
Buy the single gel bottle of DND #972 Blush on Wheels to fill a gap on the wall. Salons that also do pedicures in the same colour usually take the duo instead.
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 Blush on Wheels: DND #972 as a gel and lacquer duo, DND gel colours, DND pink shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is Blush on Wheels?+
DND #972 Blush on Wheels is a pastel pink-taupe. 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.
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.
