Which option to choose
Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #281 Collard Greens duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.
Restocking
Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 281 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.
More to pair with Collard Greens: 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 #281 Collard Greens 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 Collard Greens?+
DND DIVA #281 Collard Greens is a moss 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.
