226 Acai On The Prize 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 muted eggplant purple. It sits in the summer gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Gel and regular polish together: DND DIVA 226 Acai On The Prize 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 226 Acai On The Prize 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 226 Acai On The Prize, 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 226 Acai On The Prize 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 226 Acai On The Prize is stocked alongside the whole DIVA line, the summer gel lacquer line-up and the DIVA gel and lacquer range.
