Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #144 Zesty Sunshine you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match. If you also need the base and top gels, the combo listing for this number includes them.
Storing the bottles
Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
More to pair with Zesty Sunshine: DIVA gel and lacquer duos, the DIVA Soda Poppin' collection, the DIVA #144 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 #144 Zesty Sunshine 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 Zesty Sunshine?+
DND DIVA #144 Zesty Sunshine is a soft orangey coral. 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.
