Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #856 Ivory Cream is a sheer nude 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 creamy ivory sheer with vanilla undertones 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 #856 Ivory Cream gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #856 Ivory Cream nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, which keeps the natural nail in better shape between sets.
- Easy to restock: DND numbers every shade, so a best seller 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.
- Natural-nail look: the sheer finish lets some of the nail show through, good for clean-girl sets.

- Clients who ask for sheer nude by name or by number 856.
Which option to choose
The gel half of DND #856 Ivory Cream 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 856 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Ivory Cream: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, DND nude shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #856 Ivory Cream 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 Ivory Cream?+
DND #856 Ivory Cream is a sheer nude with a sheer 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.
