DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #806 Pink Matter

806 Pink Matter 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 this creamy strawberry blends pink with a soothing touch of white undertones, suitable for any kind of matter that requires your attention. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• Pigment that covers: DND gel is heavily pigmented, so DND 806 Pink Matter 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.

Specifications

Application steps

1. Shape and clean: file, push the cuticle back, take the shine off the plate and wipe it down.
2. Base: a thin layer of DND base gel, capped at the free edge, cured under LED.
3. First colour coat: float DND 806 Pink Matter on in a thin layer without touching the sidewalls, then cure.
4. Second colour coat: build to full opacity, cure again.
5. Seal: DND top coat over everything, cure, and remove the tacky layer if there is one.
6. The lacquer half: air-dries over a base coat at home, no lamp required.

Where this shade gets booked

• Everyday salon sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a milky white for a soft French or a clear top for a bare look.
• Bridal and bridesmaid bookings, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
• Spring bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Which option should you add to the bag

On this page you are choosing between DND 806 Pink Matter 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. If you already stock base and top coat, the plain DND 806 Pink Matter duo is the sensible reorder. The bundled options exist for a new station or a second room that has nothing in it yet.

If the set lifts early

Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND 806 Pink Matter 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 806 Pink Matter is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and gel and lacquer in bulk.
