DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #239 Chestnut Wonders

DND DIVA #239 Chestnut Wonders is a reddish-brown 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 muted cinnamon brown will work wonders for that nutty feeling you get thinking about alternate realities.

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.

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

Who it suits

Holiday and date-night sets: red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one heavy one.

Classic pedicures, paired with a glossy no-wipe top.

Clients who ask for reddish-brown by name or by number 239.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #239 Chestnut Wonders 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.
