205 Papaya Pop gives you a warm orange and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Orange is a warm-toned shade that lifts tanned and olive skin. DND DIVA lists it as pastel creamy orange. 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 205 Papaya Pop 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.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 205 Papaya Pop 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 205 Papaya Pop, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND DIVA 205 Papaya Pop is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.
DND DIVA 205 Papaya Pop is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
