DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #280 Salsa Verde
Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #280 Salsa Verde is a muted yellow-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: Salsa your worries away and get twiggy with it.
What you get
- 1 x DND DIVA #280 Salsa Verde gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DIVA #280 Salsa Verde nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries
Why techs stock it
- Matched by number: gel and lacquer carry the same number, so a client can buy a bottle to take home.
- 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 #280 Salsa Verde duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 280 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.
More to pair with Salsa Verde: DIVA gel and lacquer duos, the DIVA Happy Trails collection, yellow 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 #280 Salsa Verde 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 Salsa Verde?+
DND DIVA #280 Salsa Verde is a muted yellow-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.
