Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #173 Sippin’ Rose Tea is a warm rose-pink from DND's trend-led DIVA line. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.
In DND's words: Drape yourself across the chaise and trade whispers behind a feathered fan about this bright dusty rose that is ear-resistible.
What you get
- 1 x DND DIVA #173 Sippin’ Rose Tea gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DIVA #173 Sippin’ Rose Tea nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
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
Gel or lacquer? With DND DIVA #173 Sippin’ Rose Tea you do not have to choose. The gel covers the long-wear manicure, the lacquer handles toes and touch-ups, and both match.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 173 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #173 Sippin’ Rose Tea 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 Sippin’ Rose Tea?+
DND DIVA #173 Sippin’ Rose Tea is a warm rose-pink. 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.
Which base and top coat should I use?+
DND recommends DIVA Base #100 and DIVA Top #300 No Cleanse. DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, so any of them will work.
