527 Night Sky gives you a fine glitter and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Glitter needs a thicker top coat to sit flat, and it takes longer to soak off. DND lists it as a dramatic galactic black with mesmerizing glitter. It sits in the winter gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Pigment that covers: DND gel is heavily pigmented, so DND 527 Night Sky reaches full colour in two thin coats.
- Three weeks between fills: run it as a 3-step service with DND base gel and top coat under an LED lamp and it holds for about three weeks.
- Matched lacquer in the box: the duo pairs the gel with an air-dry lacquer in the same shade, so a client can match at home.
- Range that fills a wall: DND carries more than 1,200 gel shades, so a repeat client can stay in the same system for years.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between DND 527 Night Sky 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. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so DND 527 Night Sky covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
How to take it off
DND 527 Night Sky 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 527 Night Sky is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the winter gel lacquer line-up and DND DC shades.
