Which option to choose

Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #142 Don’t Sugarcoat It you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.

Storing the bottles

Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
