DND DIVA #117 Dewy Limeade is a pastel green from DND's trend-led DIVA line. Choose the gel alone, the gel with its matching lacquer, or the lacquer on its own.

Which option to choose
Most salons buy DND DIVA #117 Dewy Limeade as the gel and lacquer pair, so the manicure and pedicure match. The gel-only and lacquer-only options suit techs who already own the other half.
Removal
File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
More to pair with Dewy Limeade: DIVA #117 as a gel and lacquer duo, every DIVA shade, green gel and lacquer shades and DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #117 Dewy Limeade as a gel and a lacquer with the same shade number, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure match. The lacquer air-dries, the gel needs an LED or UV lamp.
What colour is Dewy Limeade?+
DND DIVA #117 Dewy Limeade is a pastel green. Screens show colour differently, so check a swatch stick against the client's skin before the full set.
How long do I cure each coat?+
Under an LED lamp, cure each thin colour coat 30 to 60 seconds; a UV lamp takes about 2 minutes. Thin coats cure all the way through, thick ones do not.
Which base and top coat should I use?+
DND recommends DIVA Base #100 and DIVA Top #300 No Cleanse. DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, so any of them will work.
