424 Lemon Juice gives you a soft yellow and a flat opaque cream in one bottle. Yellow pigment is naturally sheer, so plan on a third coat for full coverage. DND lists it as a popping neon yellow with green undertones that glows best with a white base color. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Colour that lands on the first pass: heavy pigment means you are not building four coats to reach the DND 424 Lemon Juice on the cap.
- Predictable three-week service: the full DND 3-step gel system under an LED lamp is what the wear claim is based on.
- Duo, not just gel: the matching air-dry lacquer ships with the gel in this option.
- One system, 1,200 plus shades: easy to reorder and easy for a client to stay loyal to.
- One-pass coverage: an opaque cream covers in fewer coats, which keeps the set thin and reduces lifting at the sidewalls.

- 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 424 Lemon Juice 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
- Spring sets: yellow pigment is naturally sheer.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a white base coat underneath to hold the colour.
- Pastel nail art, where a opaque finish is what the client asked for.
- Spring/Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade.
Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND 424 Lemon Juice 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 + Base Top is the duo bundled with a base and top coat, useful when you are opening a new station. 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 424 Lemon Juice bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND 424 Lemon Juice 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 424 Lemon Juice is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the spring gel lacquer line-up and DND starter sets.
