281 Collard Greens 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 DIVA lists it as moss green. It is carried in the fall gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- The client can take the shade home: DND DIVA 281 Collard Greens ships with a regular polish mixed to match, so a chip is a two-minute fix rather than a rebooking.
- Works with your existing lamp: cures under UV or LED.
- High-gloss, long-lasting: the published finish for the DIVA gel.
- Daisy Gel system: gel colour then top coat, nothing extra to stock.

Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 281 Collard Greens 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. Most reorders are the plain duo, because the base and top coat outlast any single colour. The DND DIVA 281 Collard Greens bundles are worth it the first time the shade enters the wall, not on the third reorder.
Storing the bottle
Keep DND DIVA 281 Collard Greens upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.
DND DIVA 281 Collard Greens is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the fall gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
