DND DV Gel Nail Polish Duo - 237 Detective Mauve

237 Detective Mauve gives you a plum purple and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Purple carries both red and blue pigment, so it shifts under salon light and daylight. DND DIVA lists it as muted purple. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• A matched pair, not a near-match: DND mixes DND DIVA 237 Detective Mauve 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 237 Detective Mauve 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

• Evening sets: purple carries both red and blue pigment.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a soft pink base or a glitter tip.
• Autumn bookings, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
• Fall bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Picking the right option on this page

On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 237 Detective Mauve 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 237 Detective Mauve, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.

Storing the bottle

Keep DND DIVA 237 Detective Mauve upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.

DND DIVA 237 Detective Mauve is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
