DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #161 Lovebug

DND DIVA #161 Lovebug is a warm red 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: This is one bug we”d be happy to catch.

What you get

1 x DND DIVA #161 Lovebug gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND DIVA #161 Lovebug nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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

Part of a numbered chart: DIVA runs #001 to #288 plus a glitter range, so shades are easy to track.

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

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

Clients who ask for warm red by name or by number 161.

Which option to choose

Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #161 Lovebug you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.

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.
