2516 Sun Rebels - Free Spirit Collection gives you a soft yellow and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Yellow pigment is naturally sheer, so plan on a third coat for full coverage. DND DC lists it as break the rules. Wear a bold yellow polish. It's as impactful as the memories you're about to make as you wear it.
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 2516 Sun Rebels - Free Spirit Collection ships with a matching air-dry lacquer for touch-ups.
- Lamp-agnostic: cures under LED or UV.
- 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.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 2516 Sun Rebels - Free Spirit 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. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the DND DC 2516 Sun Rebels - Free Spirit Collection 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 2516 Sun Rebels - Free Spirit Collection 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 2516 Sun Rebels - Free Spirit Collection is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DC gel colours.
