Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #2516 Sun Rebels is a yellow 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 #2516 Sun Rebels gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #2516 Sun Rebels nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 2516 will not clash with a classic DND code.
- Up to three weeks of wear: with DC base, two thin colour coats and DC top, each cured.
- Built for a base coat: DC is designed to sit on DC Base #800, which is what holds it through the wear cycle.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DC #2516 Sun Rebels is for services that need up to three weeks of wear. The lacquer half is for pedicures, quick changes and the bottle a client takes home. Buying them as a duo keeps both on the same number.
Check the shade first
Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client's hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.

How long do I cure each coat?+
Under an LED lamp, cure each thin colour coat 30 to 45 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?+
