Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #557 Hot Raspberry is a hot neon pink with a candy taste gel polish from DND's original gel and lacquer line, the one with more than 1,000 numbered shades, sold here as a single bottle.
What you get
- 1 x DND #557 Hot Raspberry gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- Gel only: the matching lacquer is not in this listing
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.

Who it suits

Which option to choose
This listing is the DND #557 Hot Raspberry gel bottle on its own, for techs who only run gel services. If you also want the lacquer for pedicures or take-home touch-ups, look for the same number as a duo.
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 Hot Raspberry: DND #557 as a gel and lacquer duo, DND gel colours, DND pink shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is Hot Raspberry?+
DND #557 Hot Raspberry is a hot neon pink with a candy taste 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.
How do I remove it?+
File through the top coat, soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes, then ease the softened gel off with a pusher. The lacquer comes off with regular polish remover.
