197 Masquerade gives you a plum purple and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Purple carries both red and blue pigment, so it shifts under salon light and daylight. DND DIVA lists it as deep magenta. It sits in the summer gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Gel and regular polish together: DND DIVA 197 Masquerade covers both the lamp service and the air-dry service without a second colour match.
- Lamp-agnostic: the gel cures under UV or LED, so it drops into an existing station.
- Glossy cured finish: long-lasting wear with a high-gloss surface.
- No new system to learn: apply gel colour then top coat, as per the Daisy Gel system.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND DIVA 197 Masquerade 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 197 Masquerade, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND DIVA 197 Masquerade 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 DIVA 197 Masquerade is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the summer gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
