Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #273 Sound Of Rain is a light blue-green 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.
What you get

- 1 x DND DIVA #273 Sound Of Rain nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Trend-led colour: DIVA is the DND line that follows seasonal colour stories, so it keeps the wall current.
- Soak-off gel: the gel removes with acetone, no drilling through the colour.
- Part of a numbered chart: DIVA runs #001 to #288 plus a glitter range, so shades are easy to track.
- Opaque in two coats: a cream finish covers the nail in two thin coats.

Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #273 Sound Of Rain duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel. If you also need the base and top gels, the combo listing for this number includes them.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 273 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the lacquer match the gel exactly?+
Yes. DND mixes DND DIVA #273 Sound Of Rain 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 Sound Of Rain?+
DND DIVA #273 Sound Of Rain is a light blue-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 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.
