DND DIVA Nail Lacquer - 252 Silky Beets
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #252 Silky Beets is a deep red with purple undertones nail lacquer from DND's trend-led DIVA line. It air-dries, so it needs no lamp, and it matches the gel polish with the same number.
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.

How to apply the lacquer
- Start clean: wipe the plate and push back the cuticle.
- Base: a thin base coat to protect the nail and help the colour hold.
- Two thin coats: DND DIVA #252 Silky Beets, letting each coat dry 2 to 3 minutes; thin coats dry faster than one thick one.
- Seal: finish with a top coat and cap the free edge.
Who it suits
- Fall and Winter 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
Lacquer or gel? The lacquer suits pedicures, quick changes and clients who take a bottle home. The gel with the same number is for long-wear manicures under a lamp.
Thin coats win
Two thin coats of 252 dry faster and chip less than one heavy coat.
More to pair with Silky Beets: the matching DIVA #252 gel polish, DIVA #252 as a gel and lacquer duo, all DIVA nail lacquers and nail lacquer from every brand.
