DND DC Gel + Lacquer Duo #115 Charming Pink

115 Charming Pink gives you a clear pink and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows up slowly. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• Rich pigment, smooth lay-down: DND DC 115 Charming Pink covers evenly without the streaking that thin formulas leave on the second coat.
• A three-week-plus service: up to 21 days without chipping or peeling on the published spec.
• LED or UV, whichever you run: the DC gel cures under both, so it drops into an existing station with no new lamp.
• Soak-off, not drill-off: 10 to 15 minutes in a wrap and the layers lift.

Specifications

Application steps

1. Shape and clean: file, ease the cuticle back, take the shine off the plate and wipe it down.
2. Base: a thin layer of base gel, capped at the free edge, cured under LED or UV.
3. First colour pass: float DND DC 115 Charming Pink on thin, stopping a hair short of the cuticle, then cure.
4. Second colour pass: this pass closes any thin spots, cure again.
5. Seal: top gel over the whole nail, cure, and remove the tacky layer if there is one.
6. The lacquer half: air-dries over a base coat at home, no lamp needed.

Where this shade gets booked

• Everyday salon sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a milky white for a soft French or a clear top for a bare look.
• Bridal and bridesmaid bookings, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
• Spring/Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Duo, single or add the dip

On this page you are choosing between DND DC 115 Charming 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 + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so DND DC 115 Charming Pink covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.

If the set lifts early

Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND DC 115 Charming Pink 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 DC 115 Charming Pink is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
