What sits on the DTK best seller shelf
This page gathers every product that carries the DTK best seller tag: more than 600 active listings across gel polish, gel and lacquer duos, nail art gels, builder gel and a handful of extension and dip items. Gel colour is the backbone. Roughly three quarters of the shelf is gel polish or matching gel and lacquer duos from DND, DC, DIVA, LAVIS, OPI, Chaun Legend and Kiara Sky. The rest is nail art from LAVIS and A'DOR, LAVIS builder gel jars, Aprés Gel-X tips and Extend Gel, and a few DC chart part boxes.
The tag is set by our team, so treat this page as a shortcut to the lines salons reorder from us, not as a ranked chart. The grid follows a manual order, and stock is tracked per listing: a shade can sell out between restocks, so check the product page before you plan a service around it. Use the filters beside the grid to narrow by colour, product type, price or availability.
Best sellers by brand
Each brand on the shelf also has its own best seller page, which is the quickest way to see more of one line at a time.
Classic DND duos pair a gel polish bottle with a matching nail lacquer bottle under one shade number, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure come out the same colour. Shades on the shelf include #448 Snow Flake and #537 Panther Pink, alongside gel-only bottles for a few numbers. For the full classic range, browse DND duos by shade number.
DC is the premium sister line in gold 0.6 fl oz bottles, with richer pigment and a glossier finish. It always needs a base coat, ideally DC Base #800. The shelf carries both DC duos and DC gel-only bottles, including #056 White Chalk, #057 White Bunny and #004 Pink Lemonade.
DIVA is DND's trend-led line, sold as gel and lacquer duos and as gel-only bottles. Shades such as #068 Mauve Nude and #248 Cherry On Top sit here.
LAVIS is the largest single brand on the shelf: full C collection palettes, numbered gel and lacquer duos, the PS nude line, nail art gels, chrome powder and builder gel jars. The next section covers the LAVIS palettes in detail.
The OPI picks here are Intelli-Gel bottles, the HEMA-free OPI gel system, in shades such as H22 Funny Bunny, L00 Alpine Snow and E82 My Vampire is Buff.
Chaun Legend gel polish is numbered LG5001 to LG5240. The shelf includes sheers and soft pinks such as LG5003 Sheer Thought and LG5082 Frosted Pinktini.
Kiara Sky Gel Pro is a HEMA-free gel polish line. Only part of the Kiara group on the shelf is in stock at any time, so check each bottle before ordering.
LAVIS palettes on the shelf
- LAVIS C06 Maple and Mocha: 24 fall shades in 0.5 oz bottles, from warm amber and maple tones to rich browns and mocha neutrals. Every C06 shade on this page is listed individually, so you can fill gaps in a palette one bottle at a time.
- LAVIS C02 Scarlet Bloom: a 24-shade red spectrum that runs from sultry burgundies to bright scarlets, with shimmer, jelly and cat eye finishes in the mix. It covers holiday and Valentine's red requests in one family.
- LAVIS numbered duos: gel and lacquer pairs in soft pinks and nudes, such as 278 Coral Pink, 279 Pink Nude and 280 Strawberry Creme.
- LAVIS PS: a nude and soft-pink gel line, including PS1 Bouncy Bunny and PS5 Nude Perfection.
Nail art gels and powders on the shelf
About 70 nail art listings carry the best seller tag. Each one has its own companion product or technique, so read the listing before the first service.
- LAVIS Magic Gel: 12 colours for a bubble bloom effect. The colours are made to work only with LAVIS Magic Base Gel: cure the Magic Base for 60 seconds, apply the colour, draw into it with a dotting tool while it is still wet, cure once the bloom looks right, then seal with a top coat. Magic Base Gel is also sold paired with each colour.
- LAVIS 3D Molding Gel: 12 glitter Aurora shades in 15 g jars. The non-sticky formula holds its shape for flowers, textures and raised designs.
- LAVIS Crack Gel: crack colours with gold and silver crack bases. A thin layer gives the cleanest crack pattern, and it is made for gel systems.
- LAVIS Aurora chrome powder: an iridescent chrome that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Chrome needs a chrome base: rub it onto the cured, tack-free base, dust off and seal.
- A'DOR Mirror Spider Gel: stretchy mirror threads for cobweb and line art, which show best over a dark base.
- Hollow stickers: peel-and-stick stencils for French tips, hearts, plaid and other shapes.
Builder gel, extensions and chart sets
The structure side of the shelf is smaller but steady. LAVIS builder gel jars in 30 ml, labelled HEMA-free, cover clear, French white and soft pinks for overlays and extensions; for the full range see LAVIS builder jars for overlays. LAVIS non-sticky builder jars are a thick sculpting gel in 15 g and 30 g, and the black and silver shades are the ones most often in stock. From Aprés, the shelf holds Extend Gel in 15 ml and 30 ml Gold Bottle Editions and Gel-X tip boxes in Natural Coffin Medium and Natural Almond Medium. DC chart part boxes, such as the Sheer and Free Spirit parts, bundle a run of DC shades; more of them sit in DND and DC chart part boxes.

How to restock from this page
- Start with your gaps: list the shades and products your clients asked for last month that you ran out of.
- Filter by type: use the product type filter to split gel colour, duos, nail art and builder items.
- Turn on the availability filter so only in-stock listings show.
- Open the brand best seller page when one brand dominates your order, so you see more of that line.
- Add the companions: the right base and top for each gel system, Magic Base Gel for Magic Gel colours, a chrome base for chrome and a crack base for crack gel.
- Check the lamp: every gel, builder and art gel on this page cures under an LED or UV lamp.
Base, top and companion pairings
- DND classic: Base #500 and Top #600 No Cleanse.
- DND DC: Base #800, which DC needs for adhesion, and Top #900 No Cleanse.
- DND DIVA: Base #100 and Top #300 No Cleanse, or DC #800 and #900.
- LAVIS Magic Gel: LAVIS Magic Base Gel only.
- Chrome powder: a chrome base under the powder and a glossy top over it.
- Crack gel: a gold or silver crack base gives the strongest contrast.
- Spider gel: a dark colour underneath makes the mirror threads stand out.
DND, DC and DIVA base and top gels are cross-compatible, but matching the system to the line gives the most predictable wear.
HEMA-free picks on this shelf
Three groups on this page are presented by their makers as HEMA-free: OPI Intelli-Gel, Kiara Sky Gel Pro and the LAVIS builder gel jars labelled HEMA-free. The classic DND, DC and DIVA gels are standard gel formulas and are not sold as HEMA-free. HEMA-free does not mean a client can never react to other ingredients, so a patch test is still sensible for sensitive clients. To compare every line we stock, see which gel lines are HEMA-free.
What "best seller" means on this page
A product appears here because our team tagged it as a best seller. The tag is reviewed as the catalogue changes, so the shelf gains and loses listings over time. The page does not rank products, and the order of the grid is not a sales chart. Prices are shown on each listing. If you want to see the rest of a category beyond these picks, the wider nail art aisle and the brand pages linked above are the next step.
