Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #217 Fire Breather 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 217 wear longer than one thick one.
More to pair with Fire Breather: DIVA gel and lacquer duos, the DIVA First Class collection, orange 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 #217 Fire Breather 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 Fire Breather?+
DND DIVA #217 Fire Breather is a neon orange 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.
