Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #256 Pale Pebble is a taupey purple-grey 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: In a calm river, throw away the skipping stones of your lingering regrets and find peace with this light purple-grey.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #256 Pale Pebble duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
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.
More to pair with Pale Pebble: DIVA gel and lacquer duos, the DIVA Happy Trails collection, nude gel and lacquer shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #256 Pale Pebble 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 Pale Pebble?+

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.
