542 Lovely Lavender 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 lists it as a soft and delicate light purple. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Thin coats, full colour: DND 542 Lovely Lavender rarely needs a third pass, which keeps the set flexible and less prone to lifting at the stress point.
- Wear you can quote a client: about three weeks on the DND base gel and top coat, cured under LED.
- Take-home match included: the lacquer in this duo is the same shade, so a chip on day twelve is a two-minute fix at home.
- A range worth standardising on: over 1,200 DND gel shades means the wall grows without a second system to learn.

- Bench prep: shape the free edge, lift the cuticle back, take the gloss off the surface and dehydrate.
- Lay the base: DND base gel goes on thin and capped, then straight under the LED lamp.
- Colour, first pass: a thin coat of DND 542 Lovely Lavender stopping a hair short of the cuticle, then cure.
- Colour, second pass: this pass closes any thin spots in the pigment, cure again.
- Top and cure: DND top coat over the full nail, cure, and take off the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
- What the client takes home: the matching lacquer needs only a base coat and air time, no lamp.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between DND 542 Lovely Lavender 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 542 Lovely Lavender 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 542 Lovely Lavender 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 542 Lovely Lavender is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and DND DC shades.
