243 Imperial Jade gives you a navy blue and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters. DND DIVA lists it as bright neutral green. It sits in the summer gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- One shade, two formats: the duo pairs a cured gel with a quick air-dry polish in DND DIVA 243 Imperial Jade.
- Fits whatever lamp you run: UV or LED, both cure it.
- Finish holds its shine: the gel dries to a high-gloss surface that does not go flat.
- Straightforward sequence: gel colour, then top coat, and the client is done.
- 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.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 243 Imperial Jade 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. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of DND DIVA 243 Imperial Jade, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
Storing the bottle
Keep DND DIVA 243 Imperial Jade 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 243 Imperial Jade is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the summer gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
