DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #735 Cosmopolitan

735 Cosmopolitan gives you a deep green and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Green swings cool or warm depending on the base, so check it against the client's skin. DND lists it as a bold and bright jade green. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• Colour that lands on the first pass: heavy pigment means you are not building four coats to reach the DND 735 Cosmopolitan on the cap.
• Predictable three-week service: the full DND 3-step gel system under an LED lamp is what the wear claim is based on.
• Duo, not just gel: the matching air-dry lacquer ships with the gel in this option.
• One system, 1,200 plus shades: easy to reorder and easy for a client to stay loyal to.
• 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.

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 735 Cosmopolitan 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

• Autumn and winter sets: green swings cool or warm depending on the base.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a gold accent nail or a matte top.
• Editorial nail art, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
• Spring bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Picking the right option on this page

On this page you are choosing between DND 735 Cosmopolitan 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 735 Cosmopolitan 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 735 Cosmopolitan 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 735 Cosmopolitan is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA line.
