DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #506 Summer Sun
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
- 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.
- A system you already run: it works with DND Base #500 and DND Top #600, and with DC or DIVA base and top.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

- Clients who ask for bold and unexpected warm mustard like yellow by name or by number 506.
Which option to choose
The gel half of DND #506 Summer Sun 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.
Storing the bottles
Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
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.
