DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #074 Creampuff

DND DIVA #074 Creampuff is an off-white 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: Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

What you get

1 x DND DIVA #074 Creampuff gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND DIVA #074 Creampuff nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Matched by number: gel and lacquer carry the same number, so a client can buy a bottle to take home.

Professional bottle size: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL).

Up to three weeks of wear: with a base gel, two thin colour coats and a no-wipe top.

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

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 #074 Creampuff, 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.

Clients who ask for off-white by name or by number 074.

Which option to choose

The gel half of DND DIVA #074 Creampuff 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.

Lamp check

An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
