BUY IN BULK & SAVE - For Professionals

Who this page is for

This page gathers listings tagged for working nail techs and salon owners. It is built for one job: filling a station or a colour wall in larger quantities, rather than picking up a bottle at a time. You will find sets from 6 colours up to full lines of more than 300, across gel, gel and lacquer duos, dip powder and 3 in 1 boxes, from LAVIS, SNS, LDS, DND, OPI, PLA, Chaun Legend and Kiara Sky.

With more than 600 listings here, the useful question is not which set looks best but which size fits your shelf. The sections below work through that by size and then by service. A good share of the listings are also single items in the tagged range, and some are sold out at any given time, so use the in-stock filter and read each listing before you plan an order around it.

Set sizes at a glance

These examples were on hand at the time of writing. Treat them as a guide to what each size looks like, and confirm stock on the listing.

Starter sizes: 6 and 12 colours

Small sets are the low-risk way to try a brand with clients before you commit shelf space. A 6-colour duo set gives you a gel and its matching lacquer in one theme, which is useful when you offer gel on hands and regular polish on toes. A 12-colour set suits a single effect. LDS itself treats its 12-colour size as a starter or test set, and the same logic works for any brand: if a small set sells through, you know which larger size to buy next.

For more options at this level, see the starter pro set page. If you are new to the trade and still choosing your first brand, the sets for beginners page is a better starting point than this one.

Middle sizes: 18 to 36 colours

This is the range most salons grow into. Sets of 18 and 24 usually cover one collection or one mood. Sets around 36 are how the bigger lines are split up, so you can build a wall in stages instead of paying for every shade on one order.

• Lavis Gel Polish Parts are named by number range, such as Part 6, shades 181 to 216, so you can add the next block when you are ready.
• DND Parts show the number of combos in the title, and that count can vary from part to part, so read it before you order.
• LDS Color Craze Set 36 is the mid-size set in that line, between the 12-colour starter and the 72-colour seasonal sets.

The gel sets page focuses on gel alone, and cat eye sets are grouped on their own page.

Full lines: 72 colours and up

A full line suits a new salon, a second location, or an owner who wants to stop reordering shade by shade. These are large purchases, so check the format as closely as the colour count. A 144-colour SNS Pro listing, for example, comes in different versions: dip powder, gel and lacquer duos, and 4 in 1. The OPI One Line and the LAVIS 276 listings also differ by format, so make sure the one you open covers the services you sell. The one line page brings the full lines together.

Before you buy at this size, measure the space. A few hundred bottles need a rack, and a shelf that is hard to read slows a technician down. Make sure each code can be seen, and group bottles the way the line is numbered so reorders stay simple.

Choosing by service

Size only matters once you know what the set has to do. Match the format to the services on your price list.

• Gel only: sets of gel polish, for salons that do not need a matching air-dry polish.
• Gel and lacquer duos: one gel with its matching lacquer, for fills and pedicures in the same colour.
• Dip and acrylic powder: colour jars for dip or acrylic services. See the acrylic and dip sets page.
• 3 in 1: dip powder, gel and lacquer in the same colour, for salons that offer all three.
• 4 in 1: the SNS Pro listings on this page cover dip, acrylic, gel and lacquer, with a 1.5 oz powder for both powder services plus a 0.5 oz gel and a 0.5 oz lacquer.

A format you already use is usually the safer first big order. If most of your bookings are gel, a set of duos only earns its shelf space when clients ask for the matching lacquer. If you run dip and gel in equal measure, a 3 in 1 line keeps one colour code across both services, which makes a chart easier for clients to read and for staff to reorder.

Brand-only views are shorter to browse. Try the OPI sets page, the LDS sets page, the SNS sets page or the DND DC sets page.

Reading a set listing before you buy

Large sets are less forgiving than single bottles, so a minute on the listing is worth it. Check these points each time.

• Colour count: confirm the number in the title.
• Format: gel, duo, powder or 3 in 1.
• Bottle or jar size: sizes vary between lines.
• Shade list: some sets are a fixed range, others a themed mix.
• Stock: a sold-out badge can apply to one version only.
• Gifts: some listings name a free item. Read the listing to see what is included and whether it is still offered.

One more point on price. A set is not always priced below the same items bought singly, so if the cost per bottle matters to you, add up the singles and compare them for that listing. Current offers with gifts are on the special deals page. Bundles put together for salon stations are on the salon bundle page.

Planning a salon order

1. List the services you sell most and the formats they need.
2. Count how many shades your clients actually choose in a typical month.
3. Pick one main line for most of the wall, so codes and reorders stay consistent.
4. Choose the size that covers those shades, starting smaller if the brand is new to you.
5. Add base, top and prep supplies from the pro essentials page.
