426 Pastel Orange gives you a soft coral and a flat opaque cream in one bottle. Coral reads brighter in daylight than under salon lamps, so check it by the window before the second coat. DND lists it as a beachy coral with white undertones.
What you get in the bottle
- Pigment that covers: DND gel is heavily pigmented, so DND 426 Pastel Orange reaches full colour in two thin coats.
- Three weeks between fills: run it as a 3-step service with DND base gel and top coat under an LED lamp and it holds for about three weeks.
- Matched lacquer in the box: the duo pairs the gel with an air-dry lacquer in the same shade, so a client can match at home.
- Range that fills a wall: DND carries more than 1,200 gel shades, so a repeat client can stay in the same system for years.
- One-pass coverage: an opaque cream covers in fewer coats, which keeps the set thin and reduces lifting at the sidewalls.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND 426 Pastel Orange in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Gel Polish Only is the gel bottle on its own, for salons that only run gel services. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The DND 426 Pastel Orange bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
How to take it off
DND 426 Pastel Orange is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.
DND 426 Pastel Orange is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND starter sets.
