Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #262 Seafoam Serenade is a muted neutral teal from DND's trend-led DIVA line. You get the gel polish and its matching lacquer, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour.
In DND's words: Can you hear nature calling out to you with this smoky blue-green?.
What you get

- 1 x DND DIVA #262 Seafoam Serenade nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

- Professional bottle size: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL).
- Up to three weeks of wear: with a base gel, two thin colour coats and a no-wipe top.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #262 Seafoam Serenade duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Check the shade first
Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client's hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #262 Seafoam Serenade 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 Seafoam Serenade?+
DND DIVA #262 Seafoam Serenade is a muted neutral teal. 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 45 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.
