Which option should you add to the bagOn this page you are choosing between DND DC 008 NY Islanders 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 + Base Top is the duo bundled with a base and top coat, useful when you are opening a new station. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The DND DC 008 NY Islanders bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder. Matching this shade across servicesThe point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND DC 008 NY Islanders is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code. DND DC 008 NY Islanders is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the summer gel lacquer line-up and the DC gel and lacquer range.
