127 Caterpillar Chronicles gives you a deep green and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Green swings cool or warm depending on the base, so check it against the client's skin. DND DIVA lists it as soft leaf green. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- The client can take the shade home: DND DIVA 127 Caterpillar Chronicles ships with a regular polish mixed to match, so a chip is a two-minute fix rather than a rebooking.
- Works with your existing lamp: cures under UV or LED.
- High-gloss, long-lasting: the published finish for the DIVA gel.
- Daisy Gel system: gel colour then top coat, nothing extra to stock.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 127 Caterpillar Chronicles 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. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so DND DIVA 127 Caterpillar Chronicles covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
How to take it off
DND DIVA 127 Caterpillar Chronicles is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.
DND DIVA 127 Caterpillar Chronicles is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the spring gel lacquer line-up and DIVA nail lacquers.
