DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #237 Detective Mauve

DND DIVA #237 Detective Mauve is a muted purple 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: No matter the dimension, this muted gray-purple will figure out the clues and find its way to you.

What you get

1 x DND DIVA #237 Detective Mauve gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND DIVA #237 Detective Mauve nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

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.

Top: DIVA Top #300 No Cleanse (or DC #900), cured, no wipe.

Who it suits

Evening sets: purple carries red and blue pigment, so it shifts between salon light and daylight.

Fall bookings, paired with a soft pink base.

Clients who ask for muted purple by name or by number 237.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #237 Detective Mauve duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel. If you also need the base and top gels, the combo listing for this number includes them.

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.
