268 Cedar-licious gives you a warm brown and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Brown reads richer on deeper skin tones and softer on fair ones. DND DIVA lists it as deep camel brown. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- One shade, two formats: the duo pairs a cured gel with a quick air-dry polish in DND DIVA 268 Cedar-licious.
- Fits whatever lamp you run: UV or LED, both cure it.
- Finish holds its shine: the gel dries to a high-gloss surface that does not go flat.
- Straightforward sequence: gel colour, then top coat, and the client is done.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 268 Cedar-licious 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 268 Cedar-licious 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 268 Cedar-licious 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 268 Cedar-licious is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
