2535 Surfs Up - Free Spirit Collection gives you a navy blue and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters. DND DC lists it as surfs up, and so is your beach-babe manicure in this enticing medium-tone, cool pastel blue hue.
What you get in the bottle
- Rich pigment, smooth lay-down: DND DC 2535 Surfs Up - 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 2535 Surfs Up - 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 2535 Surfs Up - 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 2535 Surfs Up - 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 2535 Surfs Up - Free Spirit Collection is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DC gel colours.
