DND DIVA #085 Banana Cream is a light yellow with peach undertones 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.

- 1 x DND DIVA #085 Banana Cream nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
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.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DIVA #085 Banana Cream 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.
Lamp check
An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
More to pair with Banana Cream: DIVA gel and lacquer duos, the DIVA Coquette collection, the DIVA #085 combo with base and top and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #085 Banana Cream 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 Banana Cream?+
DND DIVA #085 Banana Cream is a light yellow with peach undertones. 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 45 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.
