DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #782 Feelin' Frosty

782 Feelin' Frosty gives you a fine glitter and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Glitter needs a thicker top coat to sit flat, and it takes longer to soak off. DND lists it as a frosty winter blue with chunky 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 782 Feelin' Frosty 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.

Specifications

Application steps

1. Shape and clean: file, push the cuticle back, take the shine off the plate and wipe it down.
2. Base: a thin layer of DND base gel, capped at the free edge, cured under LED.
3. First colour coat: float DND 782 Feelin' Frosty on in a thin layer without touching the sidewalls, then cure.
4. Second colour coat: build to full opacity, cure again.
5. Seal: DND top coat over everything, cure, and remove the tacky layer if there is one.
6. The lacquer half: air-dries over a base coat at home, no lamp required.

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 glossy finish is what the client asked for.
• Winter bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Duo, single or add the dip

On this page you are choosing between DND 782 Feelin' Frosty 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 + Base Top is the duo bundled with a base and top coat, useful when you are opening a new station. 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 782 Feelin' Frosty covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.

Storing the bottle

Keep DND 782 Feelin' Frosty upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.

DND 782 Feelin' Frosty is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the winter gel lacquer line-up and DND DC shades.
