290 U Shine, I Shine gives you a soft yellow and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Yellow pigment is naturally sheer, so plan on a third coat for full coverage. DND DC lists it as a soft pastel pearly yellow. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Two coats is the norm: DND DC 290 U Shine, I Shine 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 290 U Shine, I Shine 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. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of DND DC 290 U Shine, I Shine, 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 290 U Shine, I Shine 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 290 U Shine, I Shine is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and the DC gel and lacquer range.
