474 Striking Red gives you a blue-based red and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one thick one. DND lists it as a striking orange red.
What you get in the bottle
- Pigment that covers: DND gel is heavily pigmented, so DND 474 Striking Red reaches full colour in two thin coats.
- Three weeks between fills: run it as a 3-step service with DND base gel and top coat under an LED lamp and it holds for about three weeks.
- Matched lacquer in the box: the duo pairs the gel with an air-dry lacquer in the same shade, so a client can match at home.
- Range that fills a wall: DND carries more than 1,200 gel shades, so a repeat client can stay in the same system for years.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND 474 Striking Red 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. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the DND 474 Striking Red duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
How to take it off
DND 474 Striking Red is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.
DND 474 Striking Red is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and the DIVA line.
