DND Gel Polish - 975 Vinyl Lilac
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #975 Vinyl Lilac is a pastel lilac 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 #975 Vinyl Lilac 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
- 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.
- A system you already run: it works with DND Base #500 and DND Top #600, and with DC or DIVA base and top.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

- Clients who ask for pastel lilac by name or by number 975.
Which option to choose
Buy the single gel bottle of DND #975 Vinyl Lilac 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 Vinyl Lilac: DND #975 as a gel and lacquer duo, DND gel colours, DND purple shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is Vinyl Lilac?+
DND #975 Vinyl Lilac is a pastel lilac. 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.
