322 Playground gives you a deep green and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Green swings cool or warm depending on the base, so check it against the client's skin. DND DC lists it as a lush turquoise green with gray undertones. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- High-gloss finish: the DC gel dries to a glass-like shine that holds for the life of the set.
- Published wear you can quote: up to 21 days without chipping or peeling.
- The client leaves with the shade: DND DC 322 Playground ships with a matching air-dry lacquer for touch-ups.
- Lamp-agnostic: cures under LED or UV.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 322 Playground in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Gel Polish Only is the gel bottle on its own, for salons that only run gel services. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Gel & Lacquer + Base Top is the duo bundled with a base and top coat, useful when you are opening a new station. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The DND DC 322 Playground bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND DC 322 Playground is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.
DND DC 322 Playground is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the DC gel and lacquer range.
