DND Gel Polish - 991 Music Junkie
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #991 Music Junkie is a creamy pale purple 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: We bet this cool, pale purple shade will be a Top 10 hit on your nail polish list.
What you get
- 1 x DND #991 Music Junkie 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
- 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.
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, which keeps the natural nail in better shape between sets.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

- Top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, then a drop of cuticle oil.
Who it suits

- Clean-girl manicures, paired with a white French tip.
- Clients who ask for creamy pale purple by name or by number 991.
Which option to choose
Buy the single gel bottle of DND #991 Music Junkie to fill a gap on the wall. Salons that also do pedicures in the same colour usually take the duo instead.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 991 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Music Junkie: DND #991 as a gel and lacquer duo, DND gel colours, DND nude shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is Music Junkie?+
DND #991 Music Junkie is a creamy pale purple. 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.
