DND DC Gel Base & Top 800 900 is the DC system's opening and closing coats in one order, the two gels the DC colours were formulated to sit between.
DC numbers its gels 800 for base and 900 for top. That is the pairing behind the DC colour range, which runs in 0.6 oz bottles rather than the 0.5 oz the regular DND line uses.
What it does
- Adhesion: gives the colour coat something to hold onto, which is what stops a set lifting at the sidewall in week two.
- Protects the plate: sits between pigment and nail, so staining and surface damage are reduced.
- Seals the colour: locks the pigment under a hard layer so the set survives hand washing and a keyboard.
- High gloss: the shine the client judges the service by.
- No cleanse needed after curing.
- Wear: supports a chip-resistant finish for up to 21 days.

Spec Value Product DND DC Gel Base & Top 800 900 Line DND DC Role base gel and top gel Size 0.5 oz each Cure 30 seconds under LED, or 2 minutes under UV Supports wear of up to 21 days Note No cleanse needed after curing Condition new Where it sits in the service
- Prep: file to shape, push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and dehydrate the plate.
- Base gel: one thin coat of the base, capped at the free edge, then cure, 30 seconds under LED, or 2 minutes under UV.
- Colour: two thin coats, curing between them.
- Top gel: one coat of the top over the whole nail, capped at the free edge, then cure, 30 seconds under LED, or 2 minutes under UV.
- No wipe: this top coat leaves no tacky layer, so the set is finished as it comes out of the lamp. Skip the cleanser step.
Who buys this one
- Techs running DND DC colour who want the matched base and top rather than a mixed system
- A new station being fitted out, where the gels are bought before the colour wall
- Replacing a bottle mid-season without changing what the rest of the set behaves like
How it compares
Buying the base and top together means the two gels are the ones the manufacturer tested against each other. Mixing a base from one line with a top from another usually works, but when a set lifts or dulls it is the first thing worth ruling out.
Stocked alongside the DND and DC base and top gels, the DC gel and lacquer range and DND, DC and DIVA shades.
