Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #2508 My Own Beat is a palest peach 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.
In DND's words: March to your own beat with a light cream-colored polish that hits the right note every time.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #2508 My Own Beat gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #2508 My Own Beat nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- 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.
- No-wipe finish: DC Top #900 No Cleanse leaves no sticky layer after curing.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DC #2508 My Own Beat duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Removal
File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #2508 My Own Beat 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 My Own Beat?+
DND DC #2508 My Own Beat is a palest peach. 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.
