1001 Sage Groovin' gives you a deep green and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Green swings cool or warm depending on the base, so check it against the client's skin. DND lists it as some things get better with sage, such as manicures and pedicures sporting this unique, creamy earthy green shade. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Colour that lands on the first pass: heavy pigment means you are not building four coats to reach the DND 1001 Sage Groovin' on the cap.
- Predictable three-week service: the full DND 3-step gel system under an LED lamp is what the wear claim is based on.
- Duo, not just gel: the matching air-dry lacquer ships with the gel in this option.
- One system, 1,200 plus shades: easy to reorder and easy for a client to stay loyal to.
- 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.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND 1001 Sage Groovin' 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. If you already stock base and top coat, the plain DND 1001 Sage Groovin' duo is the sensible reorder. The bundled options exist for a new station or a second room that has nothing in it yet.
How to take it off
DND 1001 Sage Groovin' 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 1001 Sage Groovin' is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the fall gel lacquer line-up and gel and lacquer in bulk.
