121 Animated Pink 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 dusty purple with pink undertones. It sits in the summer gel lacquer line-up at ND. What you get in the bottle Two coats is the norm: DND DC 121 Animated Pink is pigmented enough that a third pass is rarely needed, which keeps the set thin. Up to 21 days: the DC line's published wear when used with base gel and top coat. Easy removal: soaks off in 10 to 15 minutes, so a rebalance does not thin the plate. Bigger bottle: DC ships in 0.6 oz rather than the 0.5 oz the regular DND line uses.

Pairing work: it sits next to a soft pink base or a glitter tip. Autumn bookings, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for. Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade. Duo, single or add the dipOn this page you are choosing between DND DC 121 Animated Pink 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 121 Animated Pink covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own. How to take it offDND DC 121 Animated Pink is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift. DND DC 121 Animated Pink is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the summer gel lacquer line-up and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
