868 Gossip Girl gives you a clear pink and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows up slowly. DND lists it as a deep coral luminescent sheer.
What you get in the bottle
- Thin coats, full colour: DND 868 Gossip Girl rarely needs a third pass, which keeps the set flexible and less prone to lifting at the stress point.
- Wear you can quote a client: about three weeks on the DND base gel and top coat, cured under LED.
- Take-home match included: the lacquer in this duo is the same shade, so a chip on day twelve is a two-minute fix at home.
- A range worth standardising on: over 1,200 DND gel shades means the wall grows without a second system to learn.

Where this shade gets booked

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND 868 Gossip Girl 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. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of DND 868 Gossip Girl, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking 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 868 Gossip Girl 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 868 Gossip Girl is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND starter sets.
