623 Santa Stars gives you a fine glitter and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Glitter needs a thicker top coat to sit flat, and it takes longer to soak off. DND lists it as a festive orange red glitter.
What you get in the bottle
- Thin coats, full colour: DND 623 Santa Stars rarely needs a third pass, which keeps the set flexible and less prone to lifting at the stress point.
- Wear you can quote a client: about three weeks on the DND base gel and top coat, cured under LED.
- Take-home match included: the lacquer in this duo is the same shade, so a chip on day twelve is a two-minute fix at home.
- A range worth standardising on: over 1,200 DND gel shades means the wall grows without a second system to learn.

Where this shade gets booked

- Pairing work: it sits next to a solid cream shade on the other nails.
- Party and holiday sets, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND 623 Santa Stars 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. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of DND 623 Santa Stars, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
How to take it off
DND 623 Santa Stars 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 623 Santa Stars is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND starter sets.
