225 Scorpio's Discovery 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 neutral purple. It sits in the summer gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- A matched pair, not a near-match: DND mixes DND DIVA 225 Scorpio's Discovery as gel polish and regular polish in the same shade, so the take-home bottle reads the same as the set.
- Two services off one shade: the gel cures under a lamp for a full set, the regular polish air-dries for a quick colour change.
- High-gloss finish: the cured gel reads glossy rather than satin.
- Runs on the Daisy Gel system: gel colour then top coat, the same sequence your station already uses.
- 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 225 Scorpio's Discovery 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 225 Scorpio's Discovery, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
How to take it off
DND DIVA 225 Scorpio's Discovery is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.
DND DIVA 225 Scorpio's Discovery is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the summer gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
