Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #982 Maximalist Manilla is a light khaki 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: There's no compromising on a unique, great-looking manicure when you choose to wear this light, creamy khaki shade.
What you get
- 1 x DND #982 Maximalist Manilla 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
- 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.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
Buy the single gel bottle of DND #982 Maximalist Manilla 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 Maximalist Manilla: DND #982 as a gel and lacquer duo, DND gel colours, DND green shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is Maximalist Manilla?+

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?+

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.
