Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DC #2538 Mandarin Glow is a nude nail lacquer from DND's premium DC line, poured into gold 0.6 fl oz bottles. It air-dries, so it needs no lamp, and it matches the gel polish with the same number.
What you get
- 1 x DND DC #2538 Mandarin Glow nail lacquer, 0.6 fl oz (18 mL), air-dries
- Lacquer only: no gel polish in this listing
Why techs stock it
- Matched to the gel: it shares its shade number with the gel polish, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure line up.
- About a week of wear: with a base coat and a top coat it typically lasts 5 to 7 days.
- Restock by number: reorders are one code: 2538.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

- Seal: finish with a top coat and cap the free edge.
Who it suits

- Clean-girl manicures, paired with a white French tip.
- Clients who ask for nude by name or by number 2538.
Which option to choose
Lacquer or gel? The lacquer suits pedicures, quick changes and clients who take a bottle home. The gel with the same number is for long-wear manicures under a lamp.
Removal
Soak a cotton pad in polish remover, hold it on the nail for a few seconds and wipe toward the tip. Acetone and non-acetone removers both work.
