DAISY DND Black Collection Gel Polish Set — Black Licorice 0.5 oz Duo, Gel + Air-Dry Lacquer, Vegan 8-Free

DAISY DND Black Collection #447 Black Licorice is a matching gel polish and air-dry lacquer duo that delivers a high-shine, deeply pigmented black manicure with long wear or quick air-dry option.

This two-piece set includes a 15 ml (.5 fl oz) UV/LED cure gel polish and a 15 ml (.5 fl oz) air-dry nail lacquer in the same Black Licorice shade. Created for both salon technicians and at-home nail lovers, the pair gives you a professional gel finish when cured under a lamp and a convenient chip-resistant lacquer when you need a faster application. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free and an 8-free blend that avoids many common harsh chemicals.

How long will the gel polish last compared to the air-dry lacquer?

The gel polish is formulated to resist chipping and wear for up to three weeks when applied and cured correctly, while the air-dry lacquer provides a durable finish for everyday wear but typically requires more frequent touch-ups. Gel is best for extended wear; lacquer is ideal for quick changes.

• Gel wear: up to 3 weeks with proper prep and curing
• Lacquer: everyday durability with easier removal and quick application
• Both pieces match exactly for consistent color switching

What’s involved in application and removal?

Apply the gel polish over a prepared nail and cure each coat under a UV/LED lamp for a glossy, hard finish. For the lacquer, brush on thin coats and allow to air dry between layers for a fast, salon-style look without a lamp. Gel removal soaks off cleanly in about 10–15 minutes.

• Gel: nail prep, base coat, 2 color coats, cure each layer, finish with top coat
• Lacquer: apply thin coats, dry time between coats, finish with top coat for shine
• Removal: gel soaks off in 10–15 minutes; lacquer removes with standard polish remover

Is the formula safe and suitable for sensitive users?

The Black Licorice duo uses an 8-free formulation, omitting common harsh ingredients such as formaldehyde, toluene and DBP, and contains no animal-derived ingredients. While the formula reduces exposure to many irritants, perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities and follow salon-standard application to minimize contact.

• Vegan and cruelty-free: no animal-derived components
• 8-free: excludes formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, and other listed chemicals
• Recommended: patch test and proper ventilation during application

Why choose a matching gel-plus-lacquer duo instead of buying colors separately?

Matching gel and lacquer in one set simplifies color coordination and lets you switch finishes without sacrificing consistency in tone. Whether you want a long-lasting gel or a quick lacquer change, the duo ensures both options deliver the exact same Black Licorice shade for a cohesive manicure/pedicure wardrobe.

• One shade across two formulas for seamless color matching
• Flexibility: durable gel or quick-dry lacquer depending on needs
• Compact duo is convenient for travel, gifting, or at-home kits

Who this set is for: professional nail technicians and beauty enthusiasts who want a staple black shade in both a salon-grade gel and an everyday lacquer. It fits anyone seeking a high-pigment, high-shine black that’s easy to coordinate across services — from long-lasting gel manicures to fast, on-the-go lacquer changes — and who prefers cruelty-free, 8-free cosmetics.
