Short cure: thin colour coats cure in about 30 to 45 seconds under LED.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Prep: clean the nail, push back the cuticle, buff and dehydrate.

Base: DIVA Base #100 (or DC #800), one thin layer, cured.

Colour: two thin coats of DND DIVA #003 Mercury Blues, each cured 30 to 45 seconds under LED, edge capped.

Top: DIVA Top #300 No Cleanse (or DC #900), cured, no wipe.

Who it suits

French manicures: white is the hardest shade to lay down evenly, so keep coats thin and cap the free edge.

Clean-girl sets, paired with a French tip over a sheer pink.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND DIVA #003 Mercury Blues 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.

Removal

File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
