DND DIVA Nail Lacquer - 289 Crocodile Tales
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #289 Crocodile Tales is a deep green with blue 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: If you're craving an adrenaline rush say yes to new adventures and keep it wild with this deep emerald-green.
What you get
- 1 x DND DIVA #289 Crocodile Tales nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
- Lacquer only: no gel polish in this listing
Why techs stock it
- Matched to the gel: it shares its shade number with the gel polish, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure line up.
- About a week of wear: with a base coat and a top coat it typically lasts 5 to 7 days.
- Restock by number: reorders are one code: 289.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

How to apply the lacquer

- Base: a thin base coat to protect the nail and help the colour hold.
- Two thin coats: DND DIVA #289 Crocodile Tales, 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: green swings cool or warm with the base, so check it against the client's skin.
- Editorial nail art, paired with a gold accent nail.
- Clients who ask for deep green with blue undertones by name or by number 289.
Which option to choose
If you already stock the gel in this number, the lacquer completes the pair, so hands and toes match. If you stock neither, the duo listing has both.
Removal
Soak a cotton pad in polish remover, hold it on the nail for a few seconds and wipe toward the tip. Acetone and non-acetone removers both work.
More to pair with Crocodile Tales: the matching DIVA #289 gel polish, DIVA #289 as a gel and lacquer duo, all DIVA nail lacquers and nail lacquer from every brand.
