180 Sweet Violet gives you a plum purple and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Purple carries both red and blue pigment, so it shifts under salon light and daylight. DND DC lists it as a dusty violet-purple (can be sheer). It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- High-gloss finish: the DC gel dries to a glass-like shine that holds for the life of the set.
- Published wear you can quote: up to 21 days without chipping or peeling.
- The client leaves with the shade: DND DC 180 Sweet Violet ships with a matching air-dry lacquer for touch-ups.
- Lamp-agnostic: cures under LED or UV.
- 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 DC 180 Sweet Violet 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 + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. If you already stock base and top coat, the plain DND DC 180 Sweet Violet 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 DC 180 Sweet Violet 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 DC 180 Sweet Violet is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the fall gel lacquer line-up and DC nail lacquers.
