762 Midnight Sapphire gives you a navy blue and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters. DND lists it as a wintery jelly cobalt blue. It sits in the winter gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Two thin coats is usually enough: the pigment load in DND 762 Midnight Sapphire 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.

- Bench prep: shape the free edge, lift the cuticle back, take the gloss off the surface and dehydrate.
- Lay the base: DND base gel goes on thin and capped, then straight under the LED lamp.
- Colour, first pass: a thin coat of DND 762 Midnight Sapphire stopping a hair short of the cuticle, then cure.
- Colour, second pass: this pass closes any thin spots in the pigment, cure again.
- Top and cure: DND top coat over the full nail, cure, and take off the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
- What the client takes home: the matching lacquer needs only a base coat and air time, no lamp.
Where this shade gets booked
- Summer sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a silver chrome or a white swirl.
- Toes, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
- Winter bookings, which is where ND files this shade.
Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between DND 762 Midnight Sapphire 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 762 Midnight Sapphire covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND 762 Midnight Sapphire 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 762 Midnight Sapphire is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the winter gel lacquer line-up and DND DC shades.
