2441 Gatsby Ghost 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 sheer warm, mauve nude color.
What you get in the bottle
- Two coats is the norm: DND DC 2441 Gatsby Ghost 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.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 2441 Gatsby Ghost 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. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The DND DC 2441 Gatsby Ghost bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND DC 2441 Gatsby Ghost 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 DC 2441 Gatsby Ghost is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and the DC gel and lacquer range.
