DND DV Gel Nail Polish Duo - 188 Highlighter Yellow

188 Highlighter Yellow 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 cool neon yellow. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.

What you get in the bottle

• A matched pair, not a near-match: DND mixes DND DIVA 188 Highlighter Yellow 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 188 Highlighter Yellow 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

• Autumn and winter sets: green swings cool or warm depending on the base.
• Pairing work: it sits next to a gold accent nail or a matte top.
• Editorial nail art, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
• Spring/Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade.

Which option should you add to the bag

On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 188 Highlighter Yellow 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. If you already stock base and top coat, the plain DND DIVA 188 Highlighter Yellow duo is the sensible reorder. The bundled options exist for a new station or a second room that has nothing in it yet.

Storing the bottle

Keep DND DIVA 188 Highlighter Yellow 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 188 Highlighter Yellow is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the spring gel lacquer line-up and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
