409 Grape Field Star gives you a fine glitter and a sheer coat you can build in one bottle. Glitter needs a thicker top coat to sit flat, and it takes longer to soak off. DND lists it as a juicy purple grape glitter.
What you get in the bottle
- Thin coats, full colour: DND 409 Grape Field Star 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.

- Bench prep: shape the free edge, lift the cuticle back, take the gloss off the surface and dehydrate.
- Lay the base: DND base gel goes on thin and capped, then straight under the LED lamp.
- Colour, first pass: a thin coat of DND 409 Grape Field Star stopping a hair short of the cuticle, then cure.
- Colour, second pass: this pass closes any thin spots in the pigment, cure again.
- Top and cure: DND top coat over the full nail, cure, and take off the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
- What the client takes home: the matching lacquer needs only a base coat and air time, no lamp.
Where this shade gets booked
- Accent nails: glitter needs a thicker top coat to sit flat, and it takes longer to soak off.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a solid cream shade on the other nails.
- Party and holiday sets, where a sheer finish is what the client asked for.
Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND 409 Grape Field Star 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. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The DND 409 Grape Field Star bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 409 Grape Field Star 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 409 Grape Field Star is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND starter sets.
