214 Candy Store 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 strawberry pink. It sits in the summer gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Gel and regular polish together: DND DIVA 214 Candy Store covers both the lamp service and the air-dry service without a second colour match.
- Lamp-agnostic: the gel cures under UV or LED, so it drops into an existing station.
- Glossy cured finish: long-lasting wear with a high-gloss surface.
- No new system to learn: apply gel colour then top coat, as per the Daisy Gel system.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 214 Candy Store 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 214 Candy Store, 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 214 Candy Store 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 214 Candy Store is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the summer gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
