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.
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, no drilling through the colour.
- Bright finish: a neon needs thin, even coats to avoid streaks.

Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #212 Sour Bubblegum you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Thin coats win
Most chipping comes from one heavy coat that never cured all the way through. Two thin coats of 212 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Sour Bubblegum: DIVA gel and lacquer duos, the DIVA First Class collection, pink gel and lacquer shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #212 Sour Bubblegum 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 Sour Bubblegum?+
DND DIVA #212 Sour Bubblegum is a bright watermelon pink with a neon 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.
