109 Tiger Stripes gives you a soft coral and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Coral reads brighter in daylight than under salon lamps, so check it by the window before the second coat. DND DC lists it as a tropical orange burst. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Two coats is the norm: DND DC 109 Tiger Stripes is pigmented enough that a third pass is rarely needed, which keeps the set thin.
- Up to 21 days: the DC line's published wear when used with base gel and top coat.
- Easy removal: soaks off in 10 to 15 minutes, so a rebalance does not thin the plate.
- Bigger bottle: DC ships in 0.6 oz rather than the 0.5 oz the regular DND line uses.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 109 Tiger Stripes 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. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so DND DC 109 Tiger Stripes covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND DC 109 Tiger Stripes as much as any shade on the wall. Make sure the shine is fully off the plate, the cuticle is pushed back and the surface is dehydrated before the base goes on. Keep every layer thin and cap the free edge on the base, both colour coats and the top. A thick colour coat is the most common cause of a set that peels at the stress point in week two.
DND DC 109 Tiger Stripes is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
