2521 Quantum Leap - Free Spirit Collection gives you a deep green and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Green swings cool or warm depending on the base, so check it against the client's skin. DND DC lists it as celebrate a big move forward with a warm, bright green polish that will take your manicure to the next level.
What you get in the bottle
- Two coats is the norm: DND DC 2521 Quantum Leap - Free Spirit Collection is pigmented enough that a third pass is rarely needed, which keeps the set thin.
- Up to 21 days: the DC line's published wear when used with base gel and top coat.
- Easy removal: soaks off in 10 to 15 minutes, so a rebalance does not thin the plate.
- Bigger bottle: DC ships in 0.6 oz rather than the 0.5 oz the regular DND line uses.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 2521 Quantum Leap - 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 2521 Quantum Leap - Free Spirit Collection duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND DC 2521 Quantum Leap - Free Spirit Collection 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 DC 2521 Quantum Leap - Free Spirit Collection is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DC gel colours.
