- Trend-led colour: DIVA is the DND line that follows seasonal colour stories, so it keeps the wall current.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #236 Heart Eyes 4 U duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
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.
