298 Genuine Pink gives you a warm nude and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Nude shades read differently on each skin tone, so swatch on the client before the full set. DND DC lists it as a light mauve baby pink creme. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Two coats is the norm: DND DC 298 Genuine Pink is pigmented enough that a third pass is rarely needed, which keeps the set thin.
- Up to 21 days: the DC line's published wear when used with base gel and top coat.
- Easy removal: soaks off in 10 to 15 minutes, so a rebalance does not thin the plate.
- Bigger bottle: DC ships in 0.6 oz rather than the 0.5 oz the regular DND line uses.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 298 Genuine Pink 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. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of DND DC 298 Genuine Pink, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
How to take it off
DND DC 298 Genuine Pink is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.
DND DC 298 Genuine Pink is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the DC gel and lacquer range.
