Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #276 Hipster Girl is a fluorescent neon hot pink from DND's premium DC line, poured into gold 0.6 fl oz bottles. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #276 Hipster Girl gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #276 Hipster Girl nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Soak-off removal: the gel comes off with acetone at the next appointment.
- Gold-bottle DC formula: DC is DND's premium line, with richer pigment and a glossier finish than the classic range.
- Quick cure: each thin colour coat cures in 30 to 60 seconds under an LED lamp.
- Bright finish: a neon needs thin, even coats to avoid streaks.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DC #276 Hipster Girl duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 276 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #276 Hipster Girl as a gel and a lacquer with the same shade number, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure match. The lacquer air-dries, the gel needs an LED or UV lamp.
What colour is Hipster Girl?+
DND DC #276 Hipster Girl is a fluorescent neon hot pink with a neon finish. Screens show colour differently, so check a swatch stick against the client's skin before the full set.
How long do I cure each coat?+
Under an LED lamp, cure each thin colour coat 30 to 60 seconds; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. Thin coats cure all the way through, thick ones do not.
Which base and top coat should I use?+
DND recommends DC Base #800 and DC Top #900 No Cleanse. DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, so any of them will work.
