DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #746 Buttered Corn

746 Buttered Corn 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 lists it as a vivid buttery yellow that gives an unexpected pop. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• Two thin coats is usually enough: the pigment load in DND 746 Buttered Corn 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.

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 746 Buttered Corn 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

• Spring sets: yellow pigment is naturally sheer.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a white base coat underneath to hold the colour.
• Pastel nail art, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
• Spring/Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Duo, single or add the dip

On this page you are choosing between DND 746 Buttered Corn 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 746 Buttered Corn covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.

Matching this shade across services

The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 746 Buttered Corn 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 746 Buttered Corn is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and DND DC shades.
