Why techs stock it

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.

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

Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

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 #182 Pleasant Pink, 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

Bridal and bridesmaid bookings: pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows slowly.

Everyday short square sets, paired with a milky white for a soft French.

Clients who ask for cool pastel pink by name or by number 182.

Which option to choose

Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #182 Pleasant Pink you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.

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.
