What you get
- 1 x DND DIVA #101 Cotton Candy Lilac gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

Why techs stock it
- 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.
- Matched by number: gel and lacquer carry the same number, so a client can buy a bottle to take home.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Which option to choose
The gel half of DND DIVA #101 Cotton Candy Lilac 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.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 101 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Cotton Candy Lilac: DIVA gel and lacquer duos, the DIVA Coquette collection, the DIVA #101 combo with base and top and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+

What colour is Cotton Candy Lilac?+

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.
