119 Frosty Taro gives you a plum purple and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Purple carries both red and blue pigment, so it shifts under salon light and daylight. DND DC lists it as a deep dusty lavender purple. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Rich pigment, smooth lay-down: DND DC 119 Frosty Taro covers evenly without the streaking that thin formulas leave on the second coat.
- A three-week-plus service: up to 21 days without chipping or peeling on the published spec.
- LED or UV, whichever you run: the DC gel cures under both, so it drops into an existing station with no new lamp.
- Soak-off, not drill-off: 10 to 15 minutes in a wrap and the layers lift.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 119 Frosty Taro 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 119 Frosty Taro 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 119 Frosty Taro 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 119 Frosty Taro 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.
