Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #252 Silky Beets arrives as a complete gel kit: the DIVA base gel, the DIVA no-wipe top gel, the gel colour and its matching lacquer. The shade reads as deep red with purple undertones.
In DND's words: Maybe in a parallel universe this merlot red would've had it rough, but in this one, life is smooth as silk.

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.

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 #252 Silky Beets, each cured 30 to 45 seconds under LED, edge capped.
- Top: DIVA Top #300 No Cleanse (or DC #900), cured, no wipe.
Every bottle you need for these steps is in the box, so the base, colour and top all come from the same DIVA system.
Who it suits
- Holiday and date-night sets: red shows brush strokes more than most families, so two thin coats beat one heavy one.
- Classic pedicures, paired with a glossy no-wipe top.
- Clients who ask for deep red with purple undertones by name or by number 252.
Which option to choose
If you already own DIVA Base #100 and Top #300, the duo listing for #252 is the cheaper way to add the colour. If you do not, the combo saves ordering the base and top separately.
Lamp check
An LED lamp cures each thin colour coat in well under a minute; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. If the surface stays soft, the coat was too thick or the lamp is getting old.
More to pair with Silky Beets: every DIVA shade, DIVA #252 as a gel and lacquer duo and gel kits with base and top.
Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the combo?+
Four 0.5 fl oz bottles: DIVA Base Gel #100, the DND DIVA #252 Silky Beets gel polish, the matching DND DIVA #252 Silky Beets lacquer and DIVA Top Gel #300 No Cleanse.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #252 Silky Beets as a gel and a lacquer with the same shade number, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure match. The lacquer air-dries, the gel needs an LED or UV lamp.
What colour is Silky Beets?+
DND DIVA #252 Silky Beets is a deep red with purple undertones. Screens show colour differently, so check a swatch stick against the client's skin before the full set.
How long do I cure each coat?+
Under an LED lamp, cure each thin colour coat 30 to 45 seconds; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. Thin coats cure all the way through, thick ones do not.
