743 Mike Ike gives you a deep green and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Green swings cool or warm depending on the base, so check it against the client's skin. DND lists it as a spring fling inspired neon sour green. 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 743 Mike Ike 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.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between DND 743 Mike Ike 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 743 Mike Ike covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 743 Mike Ike 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 743 Mike Ike is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and DND DC shades.
