Which option to choose
Choose Gel Polish Only if you only run gel services, Gel Polish & Lacquer if you also do pedicures or sell take-home bottles, and Lacquer Only for regular polish services. All three are the same Paint Me Like A French Girl shade.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 095 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Paint Me Like A French Girl: DIVA #095 as a gel and lacquer duo, every DIVA shade, peach gel and lacquer shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #095 Paint Me Like A French Girl as a gel and a lacquer with the same shade number, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure match. The lacquer air-dries, the gel needs an LED or UV lamp.
What colour is Paint Me Like A French Girl?+
DND DIVA #095 Paint Me Like A French Girl is a light peach pastel. Screens show colour differently, so check a swatch stick against the client's skin before the full set.
How long do I cure each coat?+
Under an LED lamp, cure each thin colour coat 30 to 60 seconds; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. Thin coats cure all the way through, thick ones do not.
Which base and top coat should I use?+
DND recommends DIVA Base #100 and DIVA Top #300 No Cleanse. DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, so any of them will work.
