DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #263 Trip To NYC

DND DIVA #263 Trip To NYC is a deep greyish-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.

In DND”s words: Happiness walks on busy feet, even in concrete jungles like this dark pewter grey-blue with neutral undertones.

Clients who ask for deep greyish-blue by name or by number 263.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #263 Trip To NYC 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.
