DND Gel Starter Kit: 764, 766, 774, 776, 780, BT 500-600

A DND starter kit built around 764, 766, 774, 776, 780, with base gel 500 and 600 in the box, so a new station opens with everything it needs.

What is in the box

• 5 gel and lacquer duos: each one a soak-off gel with a matching air-dry lacquer in the same shade.
• Bottle size: 0.5 oz per bottle.
• Base and top gel: included, so the kit cures a full service on its own.
• Wear: up to 3 weeks when run as a full service.

Specifications

How the colours are applied

1. Prep: file to shape, push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and dehydrate the plate.
2. Base gel: one thin coat, capped at the free edge, cured under an LED lamp.
3. Colour coat one: one thin coat, kept off the skin, cured.
4. Colour coat two: a second coat brings the pigment to full depth, cured again.
5. Top gel: one coat, cured, then wipe the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
6. The lacquer half: air-dries over a base coat at home, no lamp needed.

Who buys this one

• Someone new to the system who wants the gels and the colours matched from the start
• A home or mobile set-up where shelf space is the constraint
• Testing whether the line earns its place before buying a block

Part, assortment or singles

The kit answers a different question from a part. A part asks how much of the wall you want. A kit asks whether you can run the service at all yet: it brings the gels as well as the colour, so nothing else has to be ordered before the first client sits down.

Storing a box this size

Keep the bottles upright and out of direct sunlight. Daylight starts curing gel in a bottle that is half empty, and a box that sits in a window for a season will have thickened bottles at the front of the row. Wipe each neck before capping so the lids do not seize, and roll pigment-heavy or glitter shades between your palms rather than shaking them, which puts bubbles into the first coat.
