DND Diva Gel & Lacquer Duo 2026 | Creamy & Pigmented Salon Polish

DND DIVA gel polish, one bottle at a time

DIVA is the trend-led line from DND (Daisy Nail Design), the Southern California gel brand. This page is built around the DIVA gel bottle itself. Nearly every DIVA shade from #001 to #290 has its own listing here, and on that listing you choose whether you want the gel polish alone, the gel with its matching nail lacquer, or the lacquer alone. On top of the single shades you will find the shades that DND makes only as gel, boxes that hold a full 36-colour run of the DIVA chart in gel, two build-your-own gel kits, a basic kit with a lamp, and the DIVA base and top gels.

DIVA bottles hold 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), the standard salon size. The gel cures under an LED or UV lamp and soaks off with acetone; the lacquer air-dries with no lamp. The formula is cruelty-free and vegan. If you came looking for the gel and lacquer pair as one product, the DIVA gel and lacquer duos page lists those, together with the DIVA sets of six.

Gel only, gel with lacquer, or lacquer only

Each DIVA shade listing carries three options, and stock is counted separately for each one. That matters when you reorder: the gel bottle of a shade can be on the shelf while its lacquer is sold out, or the other way round, so check the option you need before you build a client's appointment around it.

Lacquer-only shoppers can also go straight to DIVA nail lacquer, where every lacquer bottle sits on one grid.

Shades #291 to #327: the gel-only end of the DIVA chart

Past #290 the DIVA numbering continues with 36 shades that DND supplies as gel bottles only, numbered #291 to #327 with no #300. There is no lacquer twin for these numbers, so the listing is a single gel bottle. Names give a feel for the run: #291 Invite Only, #292 Symphonic Silver, #293 Ice Storm, #310 Champagne Tower, #325 Plum Quartet and #327 Tuxedo Trifecta are among them, and each is listed as its own gel bottle. Pair them with any DIVA, DC or classic DND base and top gel; if a client wants lacquer on her toes, choose the closest lacquer from the main DIVA chart.

36-colour DIVA gel boxes

The DIVA chart from #001 to #290 is split into eight parts, and each part is also sold as a box of gel bottles, one of each shade in that run. These boxes are gel only. If you want the gel and the matching lacquer for a whole run, the duo boxes are on the DIVA duo page instead.

A box ships every shade of its run that is in stock. When a shade sells out, the box listing names it and lists the colour count it will ship, so you know before checkout which bottles will be missing. The Coquette and Happy Trails gel listings also let you pick single shades from the run on the same page, which helps when you only need to refill a few bottles of a chart you already display.

Kits for starting or growing a DIVA menu

• Build Your Own 6 Gel Kit and 10 Gel Kit: two DIVA gel kits sized at six or ten gel bottles, for a tech who wants a small working palette rather than a full chart box.
• DIVA Gel Basic Kit: one DIVA gel colour, DIVA Base Gel #100, DIVA Top Gel #300 No Cleanse and a UV/LED nail lamp with an automatic hand sensor and 10, 30, 60 and 99 second timer settings. It is listed in several colours, so pick the one with stock.
• DIVA Base #100 and Top #300: sold as single bottles and as a base and top combo. The top is a no-cleanse formula, so there is no sticky layer to wipe after curing.

Picking DIVA gel shades by colour

Most shoppers start from a colour rather than a number. Here are DIVA gel bottles from the main colour groups that had the gel option in stock when this page was written:

• Pastels: #083 Lemon Sorbet, #084 Dandelion and #103 Dainty Lavender, all from the Coquette run, suit spring menus and soft accent nails.
• Nudes: #046 Sand Storm, #047 Gourmet Nude and #183 Pink Ribbons cover everyday natural sets.
• Glitter: #002 Full Moon, #004 Holo, Hi and #005 Rainbow Disco come from the Mirrorball run at the start of the chart.
• Pinks and reds: #140 Little Piggy, #228 I Have A Crush, #213 Juicy Fruit and #162 Rebel Red.
• Browns and deep shades: #266 Nude Mocha, #267 Almond Toffee, #269 Chocolate Therapy and #270 Triple Espresso from Happy Trails, plus #246 Blue Lagoon and #241 Wild Sage for cooler tones.

Screens show colour differently, so for a client who is particular about tone, paint a swatch from the bottle before the full set. If you work across DND lines, the DND gel bottles by shade page puts classic DND, DC and DIVA single gel bottles on one grid.

Restocking DIVA gel by season

DND files each DIVA number under one or more seasons, and the chart parts follow that calendar closely. When you reorder gel bottles ahead of a season, these runs are the ones to check first:

• Spring: Coquette (#073 to #108) sits almost entirely in DND's spring list, and most of Soda Poppin' (#109 to #144) does too.
• Summer: First Class from #185 to #216 and the first half of Parallel Universe (#217 to #236).
• Fall: the second half of Parallel Universe (#237 to #252) and much of Happy Trails from #264 upward, which is where the browns above come from.
• Winter and holiday: most of the Mirrorball run at the start of the chart, the opening shades of Frosted Chai (#037 to #044) and Prima Donna from #148 to #163.

Many numbers belong to two seasons, so a shade bought for fall often stays on the wall into winter.

Ordering DIVA gel for a salon

1. Display first: if a chart run is missing from your wall, a 36-colour gel box fills it in one order.
2. Refill by number: for bottles that run low, order the single shade with the Gel Polish Only option.
3. Retail on the side: add the Lacquer Only option for shades clients ask to take home.
4. Check the base and top: keep a spare DIVA Base #100 and Top #300 on hand, since every service uses them.

Applying DIVA gel polish

1. Prep: push back the cuticle, take the shine off the nail plate with a light buff, then clean and dehydrate the surface.
2. Base: apply a thin layer of DIVA Base Gel #100 and cure it, 30 seconds under an LED lamp or 2 minutes under UV. DC Base #800 works on DIVA too.
3. Colour: apply a thin coat of DIVA gel, cap the free edge and cure for 30 to 60 seconds under LED or about 2 minutes under UV. Repeat with a second thin coat.
4. Top: seal with DIVA Top Gel #300 No Cleanse (or DC Top #900), cap the free edge again and cure fully. No wipe is needed.
5. Finish: a drop of cuticle oil, and tell the client to keep oiling daily.

Keep every layer thin. A thick coat cures unevenly, and that is what leads to chipping and peeling. All DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, which means one base and one top can serve a station that carries all three lines, although the matched DIVA pair gives the most predictable result.

Wear, removal and bottle care

With correct prep, thin coats and the full base, colour and top system, DIVA gel lasts up to three weeks. To remove it, file the top layer to break the seal, soak the nails in 100% acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes, then lift the softened gel with an orangewood stick without scraping. The lacquer half of a shade wears about 5 to 7 days with a base and top coat and comes off with regular nail polish remover.

Store gel bottles capped and away from the lamp and from sunny windows, because stray UV can thicken gel in the neck of the bottle. Wipe the neck before closing so the cap does not stick.
