DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #214 Candy Store

DND DIVA #214 Candy Store is a strawberry pink 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.

Which option to choose

Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #214 Candy Store you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.

Thin coats win

Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 214 wear longer than one thick one.
