Frequently asked questions
What sizes of bundle are on this page?
Themed collections of six to ten jars grouped as bridal, neon, sparkle, summer, spring, or nude; OPI seasonal dip sets in six and twelve colour builds; 36-colour blocks of the LDS chart; and larger multi-part line purchases for standardising several stations. LDS supplies 16 of the 31 listings, OPI 11, and NuGenesis four, and 14 are out of stock at the time of writing, so availability is worth checking before an order is planned.
Are the collections cheaper per jar?
The LDS colour collections here work out at the same per-jar price as the singles, checked on 23 September 2026, so they are bought for the grouping and the single order line rather than for a price difference. Larger chart blocks and line purchases should be checked the same way against the single jar price before ordering. Nothing on this page is a markdown or a clearance price.
Why does a deep dip chart pay off?
Because dip clients rebook the same shade rather than changing it. A client who finds her nude comes back for it every three weeks for a year, so a jar that sells keeps selling and the risk of dead stock is lower than on a gel wall where clients change colour constantly. The limit is the same as anywhere: shades that never get booked are money on a shelf, and powder opened twice a year is not the product it was when it arrived.
What else does a volume dip order need?
Liquids in matching quantity, because bonder, base, activator, and top decide the finish more than the colour does, and base empties far faster than any jar. Then a brush cleaner or saver, since the base brush fails first on a busy station, trays or pots for decanting so a client's finger never enters a house jar, a sifter for returning unused powder, and dry sealed storage away from the pedicure room and the acetone shelf.

Buying dip colour at volume
Dip is the service where a deep chart pays off fastest, because dip clients rebook the same shade rather than changing it. A client who finds her nude comes back for it every three weeks for a year, which means a jar that sells is a jar that keeps selling, and the risk of dead stock is lower than on a gel wall where clients change colour constantly. That is the argument for buying chart blocks rather than individual jars once a station is busy.
The counter-argument is the same as everywhere: shades that never get booked are money on a shelf, and powder that is opened and used twice a year is not the product it was when it arrived. Buy the blocks that match the palette the salon actually sells.
On pricing
Per-jar pricing varies by listing. The LDS colour collections on this page work out at the same per-jar price as the singles, checked on 2026-09-23, so they are bought for the grouping and the single order line rather than for a difference in price. Larger chart blocks and line purchases should be checked the same way against the single jar price before ordering. Nothing here is a markdown and nothing is being cleared.
Ordering for a busy dip station
- Start from the client cards. The shades booked in the last quarter are the ones to hold in depth, regardless of what a collection contains.
- Add one themed group per season. That keeps the display current without changing the core.
- Match the size to the turnover. The 1 oz for occasional shades, 1.5 oz for the nudes and whites that run every day.
- Keep the liquids on a separate reorder cycle. Base empties far faster than any colour, and a station without base cannot dip at all.
- Check availability before planning. Nearly half of this page is currently out of stock.
- Keep the numbers. Every collection lists its shades, and that list is the reorder sheet.
What a volume dip order still needs
- Bonder, base, activator, and top in quantity, because the liquids decide the finish more than the colour does.
- A brush saver or cleaner, since the base brush is what fails first on a busy station.
- Trays or pots for decanting, so a client's finger never goes into a house jar.
- A sifter for returning unused powder.
- Dry, sealed storage away from the pedicure room and the acetone shelf.
Storage at this scale
Powder is ruined by moisture and by contamination, and a large order sitting in a damp store room is a slow loss. Keep jars sealed, upright, off the floor, and away from steam, heat, and direct sun, and rotate stock forward so the oldest jar is opened first. Nothing that has been in a tray or touched by a wet brush goes back into a jar. Label the shelf with the chart numbers so a stock check is a walk rather than an inventory.
Turning a chart block into bookings
Thirty-six jars arriving at once is a display opportunity that most salons waste by shelving them in number order and waiting. The faster route is to swatch every jar onto a tip before the block goes onto the wall, group the tips by colour family rather than by number, and put the six strongest where clients wait. Photograph three or four on a real hand for the salon's own feed, because dip photographs well and the finish reads as expensive in a way a phone camera flatters.
The second habit is to give the team the numbers. A tech who knows which three nudes are in the new block will offer them; a tech who has to search the wall will keep selling the shade she already knows. A single sheet at the station with the new numbers and their families does more for the sell-through of a bulk order than any promotion.
Rotating stock so nothing ages out
Powder keeps well sealed, but a jar that has been opened daily for two years is not the product it was. Rotate the working jars forward, open the newest only when the old one is finished, and pull anything that has not been used in six months into a display or pedicure role rather than leaving it in the working wall. On a large order it also pays to date the boxes as they arrive, since a store room with several months of stock is exactly where the oldest jar ends up at the back.
Where a big dip order goes wrong
Three ways, all avoidable. Buying colour without matching liquid volumes, so the station runs out of base halfway through a busy month. Buying a chart block that duplicates half the shades already on the wall, which happens when nobody checks the number list against the shelf. And buying seasonal groups too late, so a summer collection lands in August and is displayed for three weeks before it stops selling. The fix for all three is a written stock list with the numbers on it, updated when an order is placed rather than when it arrives.
One chart or two
Most busy dip stations end up running a main chart for the everyday work and a small second line for the shades the main one does not cover, usually effects or a particular white. That is a reasonable compromise as long as the second line stays small and the liquids stay single: mixing base and activator brands mid-set is what leaves a visible step in the surface, and a station with two of each liquid on the table will eventually do it by accident.
