DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #042 Porcelain Fine

DND DIVA #042 Porcelain Fine is a soft neutral cream from DND”s trend-led DIVA line. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.

In DND”s words: A light taupe créme with neutral undertones like the delicate rim of a porcelain cup laced with steam on a wintery day.

What you get

1 x DND DIVA #042 Porcelain Fine gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND DIVA #042 Porcelain Fine nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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

Trend-led colour: DIVA is the DND line that follows seasonal colour stories, so it keeps the wall current.

Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, no drilling through the colour.

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

Specifications

Who it suits

Office-friendly sets: nude reads differently on each skin tone, so swatch it on the client first.

Clean-girl manicures, paired with a white French tip.

Clients who ask for soft neutral cream by name or by number 042.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND DIVA #042 Porcelain Fine 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.

Check the shade first

Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client”s hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.
