056 White Chalk gives you a milky white and a flat opaque cream in one bottle. White is the hardest shade to lay down evenly, so keep coats thin and cap the free edge. DND DC lists it as a classic and timeless creamy white.
What you get in the bottle
- High-gloss finish: the DC gel dries to a glass-like shine that holds for the life of the set.
- Published wear you can quote: up to 21 days without chipping or peeling.
- The client leaves with the shade: DND DC 056 White Chalk ships with a matching air-dry lacquer for touch-ups.
- Lamp-agnostic: cures under LED or UV.
- One-pass coverage: an opaque cream covers in fewer coats, which keeps the set thin and reduces lifting at the sidewalls.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 056 White Chalk 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. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the DND DC 056 White Chalk duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND DC 056 White Chalk 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 DC 056 White Chalk is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DC gel colours.
