DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #238 Warm Stone

DND DIVA #238 Warm Stone is a 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.

What you get

1 x DND DIVA #238 Warm Stone gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp

1 x DND DIVA #238 Warm Stone nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

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

Professional bottle size: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL).

Up to three weeks of wear: with a base gel, two thin colour coats and a no-wipe top.

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 #238 Warm Stone, 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

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 warm taupe by name or by number 238.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #238 Warm Stone 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.

Storing the bottles

Keep gel bottles closed and away from the lamp and from windows, since stray UV can thicken the gel in the neck. Wipe the neck before capping so the lid does not stick.
