Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #278 Meditation is a muted lime 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.
In DND's words: Inhale, exhale, inhale and exhale the tight tension in your shoulders away and find your inner peace with this neutral pistachio green.
What you get
- 1 x DND DIVA #278 Meditation gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DIVA #278 Meditation nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Short cure: thin colour coats cure in about 30 to 45 seconds under LED.
- 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.
- 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 #278 Meditation duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 278 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.
More to pair with Meditation: DIVA gel and lacquer duos, the DIVA Happy Trails collection, 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 #278 Meditation 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 Meditation?+
DND DIVA #278 Meditation is a muted lime 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.
