Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #113 Cupcake Frosting is a light coral pink 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.
In DND's words: Bring out a case of soda pop and some frosted cupcakes to celebrate with this warm rose-pink color.
What you get
- 1 x DND DIVA #113 Cupcake Frosting gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DIVA #113 Cupcake Frosting nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
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.
- Light-catching finish: the shimmer shows most on a smooth, well-buffed surface.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #113 Cupcake Frosting you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Removal
File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #113 Cupcake Frosting 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 Cupcake Frosting?+
DND DIVA #113 Cupcake Frosting is a light coral pink with a shimmer 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 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.
