Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #818 Popsicle is a neon orange 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 #818 Popsicle 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.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? DND #818 Popsicle here is the gel: cured under a lamp, soak-off, up to three weeks of wear on a base and top gel. The lacquer version air-dries and lasts about a week.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 818 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Popsicle: DND #818 as a gel and lacquer duo, DND gel colours, DND orange shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is Popsicle?+
DND #818 Popsicle is a neon orange 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.
