653 Spring Fling gives you a soft coral and a wet-look gloss 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 flirty spring peach tease.
What you get in the bottle
- Two thin coats is usually enough: the pigment load in DND 653 Spring Fling is high, which keeps the set thin and cuts down on lifting.
- Built for the 3-step system: base gel, gel colour, top coat, each cured under an LED lamp, gives about three weeks of wear.
- The client takes the shade home: the matching lacquer air-dries, so touch-ups between appointments need no lamp.
- Depth of range: with more than 1,200 shades DND lets a salon standardise on one system without running out of colour.

- Bench prep: shape the free edge, lift the cuticle back, take the gloss off the surface and dehydrate.
- Lay the base: DND base gel goes on thin and capped, then straight under the LED lamp.
- Colour, first pass: a thin coat of DND 653 Spring Fling stopping a hair short of the cuticle, then cure.
- Colour, second pass: this pass closes any thin spots in the pigment, cure again.
- Top and cure: DND top coat over the full nail, cure, and take off the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
- What the client takes home: the matching lacquer needs only a base coat and air time, no lamp.
Where this shade gets booked
- Summer sets: coral reads brighter in daylight than under salon lamps.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a white tip or a gold foil accent.
- Vacation bookings, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND 653 Spring Fling 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 653 Spring Fling bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 653 Spring Fling is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.
DND 653 Spring Fling is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND starter sets.
