Specifications

How to apply the gel

Prep: clean the nail, push back the cuticle, buff and dehydrate.

Base: DIVA Base #100 (or DC #800), one thin layer, cured.

Colour: two thin coats of DND DIVA #251 Chocolate Red, each cured 30 to 45 seconds under LED, edge capped.

Top: DIVA Top #300 No Cleanse (or DC #900), cured, no wipe.

Every bottle you need for these steps is in the box, so the base, colour and top all come from the same DIVA system.

Who it suits

Fall bookings: brown looks richer on deeper skin tones and softer on fair ones.

Coffin and almond shapes, paired with a nude base for an ombre fade.

Clients who ask for bright brown with red undertones by name or by number 251.

Which option to choose

If you already own DIVA Base #100 and Top #300, the duo listing for #251 is the cheaper way to add the colour. If you do not, the combo saves ordering the base and top separately.

Lamp check

An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.

More to pair with Chocolate Red: every DIVA shade, DIVA #251 as a gel and lacquer duo and gel kits with base and top.
