Couldn't load pickup availability
DND DIVA #196 Lavender Silk is a heather blue with purple undertones nail lacquer from DND's trend-led DIVA line. It air-dries, so it needs no lamp, and it matches the gel polish with the same number.
In DND's words: Relax and take a deep breath.
What you get
- 1 x DND DIVA #196 Lavender Silk nail lacquer, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL), air-dries

Why techs stock it
- Easy removal: it comes off with regular acetone or non-acetone polish remover.
- Standard bottle: each bottle holds 0.5 fl oz (15 mL).
- Matched to the gel: it shares its shade number with the gel polish, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure line up.
- Clean cream finish: no shimmer or glitter, so it reads the same under salon light and daylight.

Who it suits
- Summer and Winter sets: blue is high contrast against most skin tones, so a clean cuticle line matters.
- Pedicures, paired with a silver chrome accent.
- Clients who ask for heather blue with purple undertones by name or by number 196.
Which option to choose
Lacquer or gel? The lacquer suits pedicures, quick changes and clients who take a bottle home. The gel with the same number is for long-wear manicures under a lamp.
Check the shade first
Paint a swatch stick and hold it next to the client's hand before the full set. Screens and lamps both shift how a colour looks.
More to pair with Lavender Silk: the matching DIVA #196 gel polish, DIVA #196 as a gel and lacquer duo, all DIVA nail lacquers and nail lacquer from every brand.
