DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #866 Soft Tulips

DND #866 Soft Tulips is a sheer coral from DND”s original gel and lacquer line, the one with more than 1,000 numbered shades. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.

In DND”s words: A delicate springtime coral sheer Please Note: Our Sheer Polishes are buildable giving you the desired glassy jelly look or working up to a fuller coverage.

What you get

1 x DND #866 Soft Tulips gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND #866 Soft Tulips nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.

Professional bottle size: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), the standard salon size rather than a mini.

Matched by number: the gel and the lacquer share one shade number, so reorders and client records stay simple.

Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Get the nail ready: remove oils and shine so the base can grip.

Base gel: DND Base #500, one thin layer, cured.

Two colour coats: keep each coat of DND #866 Soft Tulips thin; thick layers cure unevenly.

No-wipe top: DND Top #600 No Cleanse, cured, no cleanse step needed.

Who it suits

Summer sets: coral looks brighter in daylight than under salon lamps, so check it by the window.

Vacation bookings, paired with a white tip.

Clients who ask for sheer coral by name or by number 866.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND #866 Soft Tulips is for services that need up to three weeks of wear. The lacquer half is for pedicures, quick changes and the bottle a client takes home. Buying them as a duo keeps both on the same number.

Thin coats win

Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 866 wear longer than one thick one.
