164 Raise the Barre gives you a warm orange and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Orange is a warm-toned shade that lifts tanned and olive skin. DND DIVA lists it as pastel peach.
What you get in the bottle
- A matched pair, not a near-match: DND mixes DND DIVA 164 Raise the Barre 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.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 164 Raise the Barre 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. If you already stock base and top coat, the plain DND DIVA 164 Raise the Barre duo is the sensible reorder. The bundled options exist for a new station or a second room that has nothing in it yet.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for DND DIVA 164 Raise the Barre 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 164 Raise the Barre is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
