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.

Who it suits

- Clean-girl manicures, paired with a white French tip.
- Clients who ask for deep taupe with red undertones by name or by number 265.
Which option to choose
If you already own DIVA Base #100 and Top #300, the duo listing for #265 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 Driftwood: every DIVA shade, DIVA #265 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 #265 Driftwood gel polish, the matching DND DIVA #265 Driftwood lacquer and DIVA Top Gel #300 No Cleanse.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #265 Driftwood 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 Driftwood?+
DND DIVA #265 Driftwood is a deep taupe with red 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.
