Available at Oz Nails & Beauty Supply, this shade is a sophisticated, dark charcoal-grey with a subtle metallic shimmer—reminiscent of liquid mercury or deep digital code. This listing is for the Gel Polish Only, featuring the elite Diva formula for high-performance durability and a high-fashion finish. Features and Benefits: Futuristic Metallic Pigment: #158 Matrix is a deep, "gunmetal" grey infused with ultra-fine metallic particles that create a sleek, industrial sheen without looking chunky. Elite Diva Series Formula: Experience a superior, buttery consistency that allows for an effortless, streak-free application, ensuring the metallic shimmer is perfectly even across the nail. 21-Day High-Gloss Wear: Engineered to the high standards of Oz Nails & Beauty Supply, maintaining its deep luster and chip-resistant finish for up to 3 weeks. Exceptional Opacity: Achieve full, opaque coverage in just two thin layers, providing a dense and dramatic result that makes a bold statement. Advanced Self-Leveling: The gel automatically smooths itself out upon application, creating a flawless, level surface that enhances the liquid-metal effect. Rapid Salon Workflow: Optimized for fast curing under professional LED lamps (30-60s) and UV lamps (2m), keeping your salon schedule moving efficiently. Safe & Easy Removal: A true soak-off formula that dissolves cleanly in acetone, preserving the natural strength and health of the nail plate. How to Use: Preparation: Perform a dry manicure—shape the nails, push back cuticles, and gently buff the surface to remove natural oils. Cleanse thoroughly with alcohol. Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of DND Gel Base Coat. Cure under an LED lamp for 30 seconds. Color Application: Apply a thin, even coat of DND Diva #158 Matrix, ensuring you cap the free edge. Cure (30-60s LED / 2m UV). Second Coat: Apply a second thin layer to reach the full, metallic depth and cure again. Seal: Apply DND Top Gel (No-Cleanse is highly recommended for a high-shine, chrome-like finish). Cure for a final 60 seconds. Finishing: Apply a small amount of cuticle oil to nourish the skin and complete the sleek, professional look. FAQs: Does this include a matching regular lacquer?
