DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #249 Red-Y Or Not

DND DIVA #249 Red-Y Or Not is a neutral red 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: Red-y or not, here comes a muted cherry red with neutral undertones that”ll blow all the completion to alternate universes.

1 x DND DIVA #249 Red-Y Or Not nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it

Trend-led colour: DIVA is the DND line that follows seasonal colour stories, so it keeps the wall current.

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.

Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Who it suits

Clients who ask for neutral red by name or by number 249.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #249 Red-Y Or Not 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.
