DND DIVA #269 Chocolate Therapy 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 warm milk chocolate.
In DND's words: When you're feeling blue, wear this milk chocolate with warm undertones instead and pull on a pair of sturdy hiking boots to find your peace in the outdoors.

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.

Which option to choose
If you already own DIVA Base #100 and Top #300, the duo listing for #269 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 Chocolate Therapy: every DIVA shade, DIVA #269 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 #269 Chocolate Therapy gel polish, the matching DND DIVA #269 Chocolate Therapy lacquer and DIVA Top Gel #300 No Cleanse.
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #269 Chocolate Therapy 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 Chocolate Therapy?+
DND DIVA #269 Chocolate Therapy is a warm milk chocolate. 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.
