Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #503 Orange Smoothie is a neon dreamsicle-inspired summertime coral from DND's original gel and lacquer line, the one with more than 1,000 numbered shades. Choose the gel alone, the gel with its matching lacquer, or the lacquer on its own.
What you get
- Gel Polish Only: one 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) gel bottle
- Lacquer Only: one 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) air-dry lacquer
- Gel Polish & Lacquer: the gel bottle and the matching lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) each
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.
- Neon brightness: neon shades glow brightest over a white base.

Which option to choose
Choose Gel Polish Only if you only run gel services, Gel Polish & Lacquer if you also do pedicures or sell take-home bottles, and Lacquer Only for regular polish services. All three are the same Orange Smoothie shade.
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 #503 Orange Smoothie 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 Orange Smoothie?+
DND #503 Orange Smoothie is a neon dreamsicle-inspired summertime coral 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.
