Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #285 Sage'd The Day is a cool sage 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: During scary storytime around the campfire, use this sage green with blue undertones to ward against things that go bump in the night.
What you get
- 1 x DND DIVA #285 Sage'd The Day gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), cured under an LED or UV lamp
- 1 x DND DIVA #285 Sage'd The Day 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 #285 Sage'd The Day 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 285 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 #285 Sage'd The Day 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 Sage'd The Day?+
DND DIVA #285 Sage'd The Day is a cool sage 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.
