Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #506 Summer Sun is a bold and unexpected warm mustard like yellow 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.
What you get
- 1 x DND #506 Summer Sun gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #506 Summer Sun 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.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Who it suits

- Clients who ask for bold and unexpected warm mustard like yellow by name or by number 506.
Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND #506 Summer Sun you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Removal
File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
More to pair with Summer Sun: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, DND yellow shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #506 Summer Sun as a gel and a lacquer with the same shade number, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure match. The lacquer air-dries, the gel needs an LED or UV lamp.
What colour is Summer Sun?+
DND #506 Summer Sun is a bold and unexpected warm mustard like yellow. Screens show colour differently, so check a swatch stick against the client's skin before the full set.
How long do I cure each coat?+
Under an LED lamp, cure each thin colour coat 30 to 60 seconds; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. Thin coats cure all the way through, thick ones do not.
Which base and top coat should I use?+
DND recommends DND Base #500 and DND Top #600 No Cleanse. DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, so any of them will work.
