2539 Citrus Affairs - Free Spirit Collection gives you a warm orange and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Orange is a warm-toned shade that lifts tanned and olive skin. DND DC lists it as get the party started with a festive, bright orange shade bound to leave an impression long after the last guest leaves.
What you get in the bottle
- Rich pigment, smooth lay-down: DND DC 2539 Citrus Affairs - Free Spirit Collection covers evenly without the streaking that thin formulas leave on the second coat.
- A three-week-plus service: up to 21 days without chipping or peeling on the published spec.
- LED or UV, whichever you run: the DC gel cures under both, so it drops into an existing station with no new lamp.
- Soak-off, not drill-off: 10 to 15 minutes in a wrap and the layers lift.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 2539 Citrus Affairs - 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. Gel & Lacquer + Base Top is the duo bundled with a base and top coat, useful when you are opening a new station. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the DND DC 2539 Citrus Affairs - Free Spirit Collection duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
How to take it off
DND DC 2539 Citrus Affairs - Free Spirit Collection is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.
DND DC 2539 Citrus Affairs - Free Spirit Collection is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DC gel colours.
