DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #264 Taupe Temptation

DND DIVA #264 Taupe Temptation is a smoky warm taupe 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: Turn off that computer and give into how nature is calling out to you, just like this desert taupe with warm undertones.

What you get

1 x DND DIVA #264 Taupe Temptation gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND DIVA #264 Taupe Temptation 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

Get the plate ready: remove shine and oil.

Base gel: a thin layer of DIVA Base #100, cured.

Colour coats: DND DIVA #264 Taupe Temptation in two thin coats, curing each one.

Seal: DIVA Top #300 No Cleanse, cured, then cuticle oil.

Who it suits

Office-friendly sets: nude reads differently on each skin tone, so swatch it on the client first.

Clean-girl manicures, paired with a white French tip.

Clients who ask for smoky warm taupe by name or by number 264.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #264 Taupe Temptation duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.

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.
