009 Carnation Pink gives you a soft coral and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Coral reads brighter in daylight than under salon lamps, so check it by the window before the second coat. DND DC lists it as a summertime pink with glowy coral undertones.
What you get in the bottle
- Two coats is the norm: DND DC 009 Carnation Pink is pigmented enough that a third pass is rarely needed, which keeps the set thin.
- Up to 21 days: the DC line's published wear when used with base gel and top coat.
- Easy removal: soaks off in 10 to 15 minutes, so a rebalance does not thin the plate.
- Bigger bottle: DC ships in 0.6 oz rather than the 0.5 oz the regular DND line uses.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 009 Carnation Pink 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 + Base Top is the duo bundled with a base and top coat, useful when you are opening a new station. 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 DC 009 Carnation Pink bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND DC 009 Carnation Pink is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.
DND DC 009 Carnation Pink is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and the DC gel and lacquer range.
