DND DIVA #128 Classic Waltz is a soft lilac from DND's trend-led DIVA line. Choose the gel alone, the gel with its matching lacquer, or the lacquer on its own.
In DND's words: Turn up the volume on the jukebox with this bright milky lilac, but be careful not to get too fizzy or you'll pop.
What you get
- Gel Polish Only: one 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) gel bottle
- Gel Polish & Lacquer: the gel bottle and the matching lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) each

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.
- Buildable sheer: one coat gives a wash of colour, two or three build it up.

Which option to choose
Most salons buy DND DIVA #128 Classic Waltz as the gel and lacquer pair, so the manicure and pedicure match. The gel-only and lacquer-only options suit techs who already own the other half.
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.
More to pair with Classic Waltz: DIVA #128 as a gel and lacquer duo, every DIVA shade, purple 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 #128 Classic Waltz 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 Classic Waltz?+
DND DIVA #128 Classic Waltz is a soft lilac with a sheer finish. 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.
