DND DC Gel + Lacquer Duo #2526 Road Trippin’
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #2526 Road Trippin’ is a beige 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 #2526 Road Trippin’ gel polish, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DC #2526 Road Trippin’ nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Bigger bottle: DC bottles hold 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), a little more than the classic 0.5 fl oz DND bottle.
- Separate numbering: DC uses its own shade numbers, so 2526 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.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DC #2526 Road Trippin’ 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.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 2526 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.
More to pair with Road Trippin’: DC gel and lacquer duos, nude gel and lacquer shades, the DC Part 15 Free Spirit collection and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #2526 Road Trippin’ 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 Road Trippin’?+
DND DC #2526 Road Trippin’ is a beige pink. 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 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?+
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.
