072 Chai Latte 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 light bronze. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Gel and regular polish together: DND DIVA 072 Chai Latte covers both the lamp service and the air-dry service without a second colour match.
- Lamp-agnostic: the gel cures under UV or LED, so it drops into an existing station.
- Glossy cured finish: long-lasting wear with a high-gloss surface.
- No new system to learn: apply gel colour then top coat, as per the Daisy Gel system.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 072 Chai Latte 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. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the DND DIVA 072 Chai Latte duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND DIVA 072 Chai Latte 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 072 Chai Latte is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the fall gel lacquer line-up and DIVA gel colours.
