Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #866 Soft Tulips is a sheer coral 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 delicate springtime coral sheer 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 #866 Soft Tulips gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND #866 Soft Tulips 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.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND #866 Soft Tulips 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 866 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Soft Tulips: DND gel polish and nail lacquer, DND coral shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND #866 Soft Tulips 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 Soft Tulips?+
DND #866 Soft Tulips is a sheer coral 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.
