DND DV Gel Nail Polish Duo - 213 Juicy Fruit

213 Juicy Fruit gives you a clear pink and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows up slowly. DND DIVA lists it as bright coral pink. It sits in the summer gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• A matched pair, not a near-match: DND mixes DND DIVA 213 Juicy Fruit as gel polish and regular polish in the same shade, so the take-home bottle reads the same as the set.
• Two services off one shade: the gel cures under a lamp for a full set, the regular polish air-dries for a quick colour change.
• High-gloss finish: the cured gel reads glossy rather than satin.
• Runs on the Daisy Gel system: gel colour then top coat, the same sequence your station already uses.
• Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

Specifications

Application steps

1. Bench prep: shape, ease the cuticle back, take the gloss off the plate and wipe it clean.
2. Foundation: base gel thin and capped, into the lamp.
3. First colour pass: float DND DIVA 213 Juicy Fruit on thin, stopping short of the cuticle, then cure.
4. Second colour pass: build to full opacity and cure.
5. Seal: top coat over the whole nail, cure, remove the tacky layer if there is one.
6. At home: the matching regular polish air-dries over a base coat.

Where this shade gets booked

• Everyday salon sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a milky white for a soft French or a clear top for a bare look.
• Bridal and bridesmaid bookings, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
• Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Picking the right option on this page

On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 213 Juicy Fruit in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Gel Polish Only is the gel bottle on its own, for salons that only run gel services. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of DND DIVA 213 Juicy Fruit, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.

If the set lifts early

Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND DIVA 213 Juicy Fruit as much as any shade on the wall. Make sure the shine is fully off the plate, the cuticle is pushed back and the surface is dehydrated before the base goes on. Keep every layer thin and cap the free edge on the base, both colour coats and the top. A thick colour coat is the most common cause of a set that peels at the stress point in week two.

DND DIVA 213 Juicy Fruit is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the summer gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
