DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #257 Dewdrop Gray

DND DIVA #257 Dewdrop Gray is a deep warm grey from DND”s trend-led DIVA line. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.

In DND”s words: Hear the pitter patter of rainfall over the canopy of leaves, and relax in tranquility with this warm stone grey.

Clients who ask for deep warm grey by name or by number 257.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #257 Dewdrop Gray duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel. If you also need the base and top gels, the combo listing for this number includes them.

Check the shade first

Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client”s hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.
