Couldn't load pickup availability
DND #996 Sodalightful Lime is a warm green 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 #996 Sodalightful Lime 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
- 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.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
Buy the single gel bottle of DND #996 Sodalightful Lime to fill a gap on the wall. Salons that also do pedicures in the same colour usually take the duo instead.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 996 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Sodalightful Lime: DND #996 as a gel and lacquer duo, DND gel colours, DND green shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is Sodalightful Lime?+
DND #996 Sodalightful Lime is a warm green. 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.
