711 Kandy 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. DND lists it as a vivid neon hot candy pink. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Colour that lands on the first pass: heavy pigment means you are not building four coats to reach the DND 711 Kandy on the cap.
- Predictable three-week service: the full DND 3-step gel system under an LED lamp is what the wear claim is based on.
- Duo, not just gel: the matching air-dry lacquer ships with the gel in this option.
- One system, 1,200 plus shades: easy to reorder and easy for a client to stay loyal to.
- 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 711 Kandy 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 711 Kandy duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND 711 Kandy 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 711 Kandy is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA line.
