Why techs stock it
- Short cure: thin colour coats cure in about 30 to 60 seconds under LED.

Which option to choose
Most salons buy DND DIVA #212 Sour Bubblegum 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.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 212 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Sour Bubblegum: DIVA #212 as a gel and lacquer duo, every DIVA shade, pink 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 #212 Sour Bubblegum 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 Sour Bubblegum?+
DND DIVA #212 Sour Bubblegum is a bright watermelon pink with a neon 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.
