698 Amethyst Sparkles gives you a plum purple and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Purple carries both red and blue pigment, so it shifts under salon light and daylight. DND lists it as a deep dark plum with dazzling warm toned sparkles shimmer.
What you get in the bottle
- Two thin coats is usually enough: the pigment load in DND 698 Amethyst Sparkles 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.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND 698 Amethyst Sparkles 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. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the DND 698 Amethyst Sparkles duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 698 Amethyst Sparkles 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 698 Amethyst Sparkles is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and the DIVA line.
