625 Merry Von gives you a blue-based red and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one thick one. DND lists it as a vivid red with blue glitter. It sits in the winter gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Two thin coats is usually enough: the pigment load in DND 625 Merry Von is high, which keeps the set thin and cuts down on lifting.
- Built for the 3-step system: base gel, gel colour, top coat, each cured under an LED lamp, gives about three weeks of wear.
- The client takes the shade home: the matching lacquer air-dries, so touch-ups between appointments need no lamp.
- Depth of range: with more than 1,200 shades DND lets a salon standardise on one system without running out of colour.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND 625 Merry Von 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. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of DND 625 Merry Von, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
How to take it off
DND 625 Merry Von 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 625 Merry Von is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the winter gel lacquer line-up and DND starter sets.
