DND DIVA #169 Dramatic Persimmon is a dusty pastel peach 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: For the showstopper, drumroll please, and a dramatic pause to introduce this muted orange-pink.

Why techs stock it
- Short cure: thin colour coats cure in about 30 to 45 seconds under LED.
- Trend-led colour: DIVA is the DND line that follows seasonal colour stories, so it keeps the wall current.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+

What colour is Dramatic Persimmon?+

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.
