Which option to choose
Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #148 Slate Mocha you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Check the shade first
Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client's hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.
