447 Black Licorice gives you a soft black and a flat opaque cream in one bottle. Black needs a tidy cuticle line because every gap shows. DND lists it as a classic black with high shine.
What you get in the bottle
- Two thin coats is usually enough: the pigment load in DND 447 Black Licorice is high, which keeps the set thin and cuts down on lifting.
- Built for the 3-step system: base gel, gel colour, top coat, each cured under an LED lamp, gives about three weeks of wear.
- The client takes the shade home: the matching lacquer air-dries, so touch-ups between appointments need no lamp.
- Depth of range: with more than 1,200 shades DND lets a salon standardise on one system without running out of colour.

- Bench prep: shape the free edge, lift the cuticle back, take the gloss off the surface and dehydrate.
- Lay the base: DND base gel goes on thin and capped, then straight under the LED lamp.
- Colour, first pass: a thin coat of DND 447 Black Licorice stopping a hair short of the cuticle, then cure.
- Colour, second pass: this pass closes any thin spots in the pigment, cure again.
- Top and cure: DND top coat over the full nail, cure, and take off the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
- What the client takes home: the matching lacquer needs only a base coat and air time, no lamp.
Where this shade gets booked
- Statement sets: black needs a tidy cuticle line because every gap shows.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a glossy top for depth or a matte top for a flat finish.
- Nail art bases, where a opaque finish is what the client asked for.
Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND 447 Black Licorice 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 + Base Top is the duo bundled with a base and top coat, useful when you are opening a new station. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The DND 447 Black Licorice bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
Storing the bottle
Keep DND 447 Black Licorice upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.
DND 447 Black Licorice is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND starter sets.
