DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #697 Sizzlin' Cinnamon

697 Sizzlin' Cinnamon gives you a reflective metallic and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Metallic pigment shows every ridge underneath, so buff the plate flat before the base coat. DND lists it as a decadent chocolate brown with gold glitter and plum undertones. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• Pigment that covers: DND gel is heavily pigmented, so DND 697 Sizzlin' Cinnamon 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.

Specifications

Application steps

1. Shape and clean: file, push the cuticle back, take the shine off the plate and wipe it down.
2. Base: a thin layer of DND base gel, capped at the free edge, cured under LED.
3. First colour coat: float DND 697 Sizzlin' Cinnamon on in a thin layer without touching the sidewalls, then cure.
4. Second colour coat: build to full opacity, cure again.
5. Seal: DND top coat over everything, cure, and remove the tacky layer if there is one.
6. The lacquer half: air-dries over a base coat at home, no lamp required.

Where this shade gets booked

• Party sets: metallic pigment shows every ridge underneath.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a matte or cream shade on the other nails.
• Accent nails, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
• Fall bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Picking the right option on this page

On this page you are choosing between DND 697 Sizzlin' Cinnamon 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. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the DND 697 Sizzlin' Cinnamon duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.

Matching this shade across services

The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 697 Sizzlin' Cinnamon is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.

DND 697 Sizzlin' Cinnamon is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA line.
