DND DC Gel + Lacquer Duo #114 Coral Nude

114 Coral Nude gives you a clear pink and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows up slowly.

What you get in the bottle

• Colour that covers: the DC formula is richly pigmented, so DND DC 114 Coral Nude 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.
• Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

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 114 Coral Nude 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 glossy finish is what the client asked for.

Duo, single or add the dip

On this page you are choosing between DND DC 114 Coral Nude 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 114 Coral Nude 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 114 Coral Nude 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 114 Coral Nude is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
