Why techs stock it
- Quick cure: each thin colour coat cures in 30 to 45 seconds under an LED lamp.
- No-wipe finish: DC Top #900 No Cleanse leaves no sticky layer after curing.
- Bigger bottle: DC bottles hold 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), a little more than the classic 0.5 fl oz DND bottle.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

How to apply the gel
- Start clean: the nail must be fully prepped and free of oil.
- DC base first: DC needs a base coat, so lay DC Base #800 and cure it.
- Two thin coats: apply DND DC #2535 Surfs Up thin, cap the free edge, cure each coat 30 to 45 seconds under LED.
- Finish: seal with DC Top #900 No Cleanse and cure.
Who it suits
- Summer sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.
- Pedicures, paired with a silver chrome accent.
- Clients who ask for blue by name or by number 2535.
Which option to choose
Most salons buy DND DC #2535 Surfs Up as the gel and lacquer pair, so the manicure and pedicure match. The gel-only and lacquer-only options suit techs who already own the other half.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 2535 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Surfs Up: the full DC range, blue gel and lacquer shades, the DC Part 15 Free Spirit collection and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the three options?+
They are the same Surfs Up shade in different formats: gel polish only, the gel with its matching lacquer, or the lacquer only. Choose by the services you run.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DC #2535 Surfs Up 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 Surfs Up?+
DND DC #2535 Surfs Up is a blue. 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.
