DND Gel & Lacquer Combo - Base Top Gel & 556 Coral Reef
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #556 Coral Reef arrives as a complete gel kit: the base gel, the top gel, the gel colour and its matching lacquer. The shade reads as juicy neon coral with pink undertones.
What you get
- 1 x DND Base Gel, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
- 1 x DND #556 Coral Reef gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
- 1 x DND #556 Coral Reef matching nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
- 1 x DND Top Gel, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
Why techs stock it
- Up to three weeks of wear: when it goes on over a base gel and under a top gel, cured layer by layer.
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, which keeps the natural nail in better shape between sets.
- Professional bottle size: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), the standard salon size rather than a mini.
- Bright finish: a neon needs thin, even coats to avoid streaks.

How to apply the gel
- Prep: clean the nail, push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and dehydrate.
- Base: one thin layer of DND Base Gel (or a DC or DIVA base), cured under the lamp.
- Colour: two thin coats of DND #556 Coral Reef, capping the free edge, curing each coat.
- Top: DND Top Gel, cured, then a drop of cuticle oil.
Every bottle you need for these steps is in the box, so the base, colour and top all come from the same DND line.
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 juicy neon coral with pink undertones by name or by number 556.
Which option to choose
If you already own a DND base and top gel, the duo listing for #556 adds just the colour. If you do not, the combo saves ordering the base and top separately.
Lamp check
An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
More to pair with Coral Reef: DND #556 as a gel and lacquer duo, DND gel and lacquer shades, gel kits with base and top and coral gel and lacquer shades.
Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the combo?+
Four 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) bottles: DND Base Gel, the DND #556 Coral Reef gel polish, the matching DND #556 Coral Reef lacquer and DND Top Gel.
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.
