Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Which option to choose

Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #216 Tropic Like It”s Hot you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match. If you also need the base and top gels, the combo listing for this number includes them.

Thin coats win

Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 216 wear longer than one thick one.
