Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DIVA #038 Smokey White is for services that need up to three weeks of wear. The lacquer half is for pedicures, quick changes and the bottle a client takes home. Buying them as a duo keeps both on the same number. If you also need the base and top gels, the combo listing for this number includes them.
Check the shade first
Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client's hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.
