S056 Daffodil Duck Walk gives you a fine glitter and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Glitter needs a thicker top coat to sit flat, and it takes longer to soak off. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Viscosity that behaves: the gel is thick enough to stay exactly where you place it, so you are not chasing it back off the skin.
- Colour in two passes: the pigment load in OPI S056 Daffodil Duck Walk is high enough that two thin coats reach the shade on the cap.
- Three-week service: a properly prepped Intelli-Gel set runs about three weeks before regrowth shows.
- Vegan, HEMA-free, TPO-free: worth flagging to any client who has reacted to gel in the past.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

Where this shade gets booked
- Accent nails: glitter needs a thicker top coat to sit flat, and it takes longer to soak off.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a solid cream shade on the other nails.
- Party and holiday sets, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
- Fall/Spring/Winter bookings, which is where ND files this shade.
Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between OPI S056 Daffodil Duck Walk 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. Intelli-Gel Only is the Intelli-Gel bottle on its own. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the OPI S056 Daffodil Duck Walk duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
Storing the bottle
Keep OPI S056 Daffodil Duck Walk 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.
OPI S056 Daffodil Duck Walk is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the OPI lacquer range.
