260 Slate Of The Art gives you a navy blue and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters. DND DIVA lists it as neutral grayish-blue. It sits in the winter gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- The client can take the shade home: DND DIVA 260 Slate Of The Art ships with a regular polish mixed to match, so a chip is a two-minute fix rather than a rebooking.
- Works with your existing lamp: cures under UV or LED.
- High-gloss, long-lasting: the published finish for the DIVA gel.
- Daisy Gel system: gel colour then top coat, nothing extra to stock.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 260 Slate Of The Art in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Gel Polish Only is the gel bottle on its own, for salons that only run gel services. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The DND DIVA 260 Slate Of The Art bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND DIVA 260 Slate Of The Art as much as any shade on the wall. Make sure the shine is fully off the plate, the cuticle is pushed back and the surface is dehydrated before the base goes on. Keep every layer thin and cap the free edge on the base, both colour coats and the top. A thick colour coat is the most common cause of a set that peels at the stress point in week two.
DND DIVA 260 Slate Of The Art is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the winter gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
