DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #286 First Place

DND DIVA #286 First Place is a dusty artichoke 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: Let this muted fern green with cool undertones inspire you to reach for the summit and accomplish your dreams.

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 #286 First Place duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.

Restocking

Every DND shade has a fixed number, so write 286 on the client card. When the bottle runs low, the reorder is one code.
