514 Soaring Sky gives you a navy blue and a sheer coat you can build in one bottle. Blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters. DND lists it as an icy light blue dazzling glitter.
What you get in the bottle
- Thin coats, full colour: DND 514 Soaring Sky rarely needs a third pass, which keeps the set flexible and less prone to lifting at the stress point.
- Wear you can quote a client: about three weeks on the DND base gel and top coat, cured under LED.
- Take-home match included: the lacquer in this duo is the same shade, so a chip on day twelve is a two-minute fix at home.
- A range worth standardising on: over 1,200 DND gel shades means the wall grows without a second system to learn.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between DND 514 Soaring Sky 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. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so DND 514 Soaring Sky covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND 514 Soaring Sky as much as any shade on the wall. Make sure the shine is fully off the plate, the cuticle is pushed back and the surface is dehydrated before the base goes on. Keep every layer thin and cap the free edge on the base, both colour coats and the top. A thick colour coat is the most common cause of a set that peels at the stress point in week two.
DND 514 Soaring Sky is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND DC shades.
