How to Apply DND DC Gel Polish – Cookie Chips #317

Following a professional 3 step gel system, DC Gel Polishes need to be cured under an LED lamp and used with the DC Base Gel and DC Top Gel.

Step 1: Prepare the Nails

Starting with completely clean and prepped nails, apply a single coat of DND base gel and cure for 30 seconds in an LED lamp.

Step 2: Apply the First Gel Color Coat

Apply a single thin layer of DND DC Cookie Chips #317 gel color and cure for 30–45 seconds in an LED lamp.

Step 3: Apply the Second Gel Color Coat

Apply the second thin layer of DND DC Cookie Chips #317 gel color and cure for 30–45 seconds in an LED lamp.

Step 4: Apply DND Top Coat

Apply DND top coat no cleanse and cure for 30 seconds in an LED lamp.

Important Application Tip

Applying thick layers of gel color can result in an uneven cure leading to chipping and peeling. Apply thin and even coats and make sure each layer is properly cured.

Make sure to hydrate daily by moisturizing the cuticles to help maintain a neat and well-groomed appearance.

DND’s current instructions similarly emphasize clean and prepared nails, thin gel layers, curing between coats, and avoiding thick application.

Using the DND DC Matching Lacquer

The matching nail lacquer is a traditional air-dry nail polish and does not require curing under an LED lamp.

Prepare clean and properly prepped nails, apply the matching lacquer according to your preferred professional nail-care routine, and allow it to air dry completely.

The matching lacquer provides a convenient alternative for clients who prefer traditional nail polish. It also allows nail professionals to offer the same Cookie Chips #317 color across gel and traditional manicure services.

DND describes the lacquer as a traditional air-dry formula that is used separately from the gel polish.

This duo format is particularly useful for professional nail salons, nail technicians, and customers who want a coordinated color for different types of nail services.

The gel polish is cured under a suitable UV/LED lamp, while the matching traditional lacquer air dries separately. This gives professionals flexibility when serving clients with different application preferences.

Current US beauty-supply listings specifically describe Cookie Chips #317 as a DND DC gel-and-lacquer duo and use terms such as warm caramel brown, neutral brown, and salon-quality nail color.

Professional Tips for DND DC Cookie Chips #317

Always begin with clean and properly prepared nails before applying gel polish. Keep every gel layer thin and even, and cure each coat according to the recommended application instructions.

Avoid applying thick layers of gel color because an uneven cure can contribute to chipping and peeling.

Use the appropriate DND DC base and top products with the gel system and make sure your LED lamp is suitable for curing the gel polish.

For traditional lacquer applications, allow the matching lacquer to air dry properly before exposing the nails to activities that could affect the finish.

Daily cuticle moisturizing can help maintain a neat and well-maintained appearance.
