DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #419 Havin Cabbler

419 Havin Cabbler gives you a soft coral and a flat opaque cream in one bottle. Coral reads brighter in daylight than under salon lamps, so check it by the window before the second coat. DND lists it as an outstanding peach nude with a pop. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• Two thin coats is usually enough: the pigment load in DND 419 Havin Cabbler is high, which keeps the set thin and cuts down on lifting.
• Built for the 3-step system: base gel, gel colour, top coat, each cured under an LED lamp, gives about three weeks of wear.
• The client takes the shade home: the matching lacquer air-dries, so touch-ups between appointments need no lamp.
• Depth of range: with more than 1,200 shades DND lets a salon standardise on one system without running out of colour.

Specifications

Application steps

1. Shape and clean: file, push the cuticle back, take the shine off the plate and wipe it down.
2. Base: a thin layer of DND base gel, capped at the free edge, cured under LED.
3. First colour coat: float DND 419 Havin Cabbler on in a thin layer without touching the sidewalls, then cure.
4. Second colour coat: build to full opacity, cure again.
5. Seal: DND top coat over everything, cure, and remove the tacky layer if there is one.
6. The lacquer half: air-dries over a base coat at home, no lamp required.

Where this shade gets booked

• Summer sets: coral reads brighter in daylight than under salon lamps.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a white tip or a gold foil accent.
• Vacation bookings, where a opaque finish is what the client asked for.
• Fall/Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Which option should you add to the bag

On this page you are choosing between DND 419 Havin Cabbler in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Gel Polish Only is the gel bottle on its own, for salons that only run gel services. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The DND 419 Havin Cabbler bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.

If the set lifts early

Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND 419 Havin Cabbler as much as any shade on the wall. Make sure the shine is fully off the plate, the cuticle is pushed back and the surface is dehydrated before the base goes on. Keep every layer thin and cap the free edge on the base, both colour coats and the top. A thick colour coat is the most common cause of a set that peels at the stress point in week two.

DND 419 Havin Cabbler is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the fall gel lacquer line-up and DND starter sets.
