DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #872 So Dam Fly

872 So Dam Fly gives you a greige and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Beige hides regrowth better than a bright colour, which stretches the fill cycle. DND lists it as a peachy coral sheer.

What you get in the bottle

• Pigment that covers: DND gel is heavily pigmented, so DND 872 So Dam Fly 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 872 So Dam Fly 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

• Quiet luxury sets: beige hides regrowth better than a bright colour, which stretches the fill cycle.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a chrome powder over the top for a quiet metallic.
• Work-safe manicures, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.

Picking the right option on this page

On this page you are choosing between DND 872 So Dam Fly 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 872 So Dam Fly, 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 872 So Dam Fly 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 872 So Dam Fly is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND starter sets.
