DND Gel + Lacquer Duo #856 Ivory Cream - DND Sheer Collection

856 Ivory Cream - DND Sheer Collection gives you a greige and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Beige hides regrowth better than a bright colour, which stretches the fill cycle. DND lists it as a creamy ivory sheer with vanilla undertones.

What you get in the bottle

• Thin coats, full colour: DND 856 Ivory Cream - DND Sheer Collection 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.

Specifications

Application steps

1. Prep: file to shape, push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and dehydrate the plate.
2. Base gel: one thin coat of DND base gel, cap the free edge, cure under your LED lamp.
3. Colour coat one: one thin coat of DND 856 Ivory Cream - DND Sheer Collection, keep it off the skin, cure.
4. Colour coat two: a second coat evens out the pigment, cure again.
5. Top coat: one coat of DND top coat, cure, then wipe the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
6. Lacquer at home: the matching lacquer goes over a base coat and air-dries, so the client needs no lamp.

Where this shade gets booked

• Quiet luxury sets: beige hides regrowth better than a bright colour, which stretches the fill cycle.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a chrome powder over the top for a quiet metallic.
• Work-safe manicures, 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 856 Ivory Cream - DND Sheer Collection 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. If you already stock base and top coat, the plain DND 856 Ivory Cream - DND Sheer Collection duo is the sensible reorder. The bundled options exist for a new station or a second room that has nothing in it yet.

Storing the bottle

Keep DND 856 Ivory Cream - DND Sheer Collection upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.

DND 856 Ivory Cream - DND Sheer Collection is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and gel and lacquer in bulk.
