DND DIVA Gel & Lacquer Duo #226 Acai On The Prize

DND DIVA #226 Acai On The Prize is a muted eggplant purple 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.

1 x DND DIVA #226 Acai On The Prize nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

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.

Specifications

How to apply the gel

Get the plate ready: remove shine and oil.

Base gel: a thin layer of DIVA Base #100, cured.

Colour coats: DND DIVA #226 Acai On The Prize in two thin coats, curing each one.

Seal: DIVA Top #300 No Cleanse, cured, then cuticle oil.

Who it suits

Evening sets: purple carries red and blue pigment, so it shifts between salon light and daylight.

Fall bookings, paired with a soft pink base.

Clients who ask for muted eggplant purple by name or by number 226.

Which option to choose

Salons that only stock the gel end up mixing a close lacquer for pedicures. The DND DIVA #226 Acai On The Prize duo avoids that: the lacquer is made to the same shade as the gel.

Removal

File through the top coat, then soak in acetone for about 10 to 15 minutes and ease the softened gel off with a pusher. Skip the drill on the natural nail and finish with cuticle oil.
