Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #556 Coral Reef is a juicy neon coral with pink undertones 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 #556 Coral Reef gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #556 Coral Reef nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Easy to restock: DND numbers every shade, so a client favourite is one code away from a reorder.
- Two services from one colour: use the gel for the manicure and the lacquer for toes or at-home touch-ups.
- Air-dry lacquer: the lacquer needs no lamp, handy for pedicures and quick polish changes.
- Neon brightness: neon shades glow brightest over a white base.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND #556 Coral Reef you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Check the shade first
Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client's hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #556 Coral Reef 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 Coral Reef?+
DND #556 Coral Reef is a juicy neon coral with pink undertones with a neon finish. 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.
