DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #258 Dark Delight

DND DIVA #258 Dark Delight is a blue 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.

What you get

1 x DND DIVA #258 Dark Delight gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND DIVA #258 Dark Delight nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, no drilling through the colour.

Part of a numbered chart: DIVA runs #001 to #288 plus a glitter range, so shades are easy to track.

Matched by number: gel and lacquer carry the same number, so a client can buy a bottle to take home.

Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

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 #258 Dark Delight, each cured 30 to 45 seconds under LED, edge capped.

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

Who it suits

Summer sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.

Pedicures, paired with a silver chrome accent.

Clients who ask for blue by name or by number 258.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #258 Dark Delight 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.
