What you get
- 1 x DND #992 Ceramic Jazz 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
- 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.
- Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.

- Colour: two thin coats of DND #992 Ceramic Jazz, capping the free edge, curing each coat.
- Top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, then a drop of cuticle oil.
Who it suits
- Fall and Winter sets: nude reads differently on each skin tone, so swatch it on the client first.
- Clean-girl manicures, paired with a white French tip.
- Clients who ask for cool pastel taupe by name or by number 992.
Which option to choose
Buy the single gel bottle of DND #992 Ceramic Jazz 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 992 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Ceramic Jazz: DND #992 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 Ceramic Jazz?+
DND #992 Ceramic Jazz is a cool pastel 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.
