071 Toasted Apricot gives you a warm nude and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Nude shades read differently on each skin tone, so swatch on the client before the full set. DND DIVA lists it as creamy peach. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- A matched pair, not a near-match: DND mixes DND DIVA 071 Toasted Apricot as gel polish and regular polish in the same shade, so the take-home bottle reads the same as the set.
- Two services off one shade: the gel cures under a lamp for a full set, the regular polish air-dries for a quick colour change.
- High-gloss finish: the cured gel reads glossy rather than satin.
- Runs on the Daisy Gel system: gel colour then top coat, the same sequence your station already uses.
- 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.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 071 Toasted Apricot 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 071 Toasted Apricot 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 071 Toasted Apricot 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 071 Toasted Apricot is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the fall gel lacquer line-up and DIVA gel colours.
