DND DC Gel + Lacquer Duo #090 Ash Rose

090 Ash Rose gives you a clear pink and a flat opaque cream in one bottle. Pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows up slowly. DND DC lists it as a warm-toned rosy red with pink undertones. It sits in the summer gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• Colour that covers: the DC formula is richly pigmented, so DND DC 090 Ash Rose reaches full depth in two thin coats.
• Twenty-one days of wear: ND publishes up to 21 days without chipping or peeling for the DC gel when it is run as a full 3-step service.
• Matching lacquer in the same shade: the duo pairs the soak-off gel with an air-dry lacquer, so a client can touch up at home without a lamp.
• Off in ten to fifteen minutes: DC is a soak-off gel, so removal is a wrap rather than a drill.
• One-pass coverage: an opaque cream covers in fewer coats, which keeps the set thin and reduces lifting at the sidewalls.

Application steps

1. Shape and clean: file, ease the cuticle back, take the shine off the plate and wipe it down.
2. Base: a thin layer of base gel, capped at the free edge, cured under LED or UV.
3. First colour pass: float DND DC 090 Ash Rose on thin, stopping a hair short of the cuticle, then cure.
4. Second colour pass: this pass closes any thin spots, cure again.
5. Seal: top gel over the whole nail, cure, and remove the tacky layer if there is one.
6. The lacquer half: air-dries over a base coat at home, no lamp needed.

Where this shade gets booked

• Everyday salon sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a milky white for a soft French or a clear top for a bare look.
• Bridal and bridesmaid bookings, where a opaque finish is what the client asked for.
• Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Picking the right option on this page

On this page you are choosing between DND DC 090 Ash Rose 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. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the DND DC 090 Ash Rose duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.

Storing the bottle

Keep DND DC 090 Ash Rose 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 DC 090 Ash Rose is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the summer gel lacquer line-up and DC gel colours.
