Frequently asked questions
What is the LAVIS 3-in-1 in 1.5 oz?
One numbered LAVIS shade in three matched formats in one listing: a 1.5 oz LAVIS Color Acrylic and Dip Powder, the matching 0.5 oz gel polish, and the matching nail lacquer. This page holds around 250 shades in the 1.5 oz size plus the 48-color 3-in-1 collection sets; the 1 oz version is on its own page. The powder is a 2-in-1 acrylic and dip powder, non-yellowing, made in the USA.
When should I buy 1.5 oz instead of 1 oz?
For the shades a salon dips every day: the nudes, pinks, and whites that go under every French and onto every pedicure, where the larger jar halves the reorder frequency. Seasonal brights that are on the chart but not run daily suit the 1 oz jar. The gel and lacquer bottles are the same size in both versions.
What do the 48-color sets include?
A full LAVIS collection in all three systems: 48 jars, 48 gels, and 48 lacquers in the collection's numbers, such as the Modern Neutrals collection. It is the fastest way to open a LAVIS dip, gel, and lacquer wall in one order, and every piece is numbered so the wall reads the same whether the tech reaches for the jar or the bottle.
What else is needed to use the combo?
Dip base, activator, and top for the dip side; monomer for acrylic; LAVIS base and no-wipe top and an LED or UV lamp for the gel; a base and top coat for the lacquer. None of the liquids are in the combo and a set lasts many services. Dip needs no lamp; gel cures 60 seconds per coat.
Is the LAVIS 3-in-1 sold at wholesale?
Yes. Every 1.5 oz combo and set at ND Nails Supply is wholesale-priced for everyone, with no business license, no minimum order, and no membership fee, and the LDS and LAVIS Buy in Bulk page carries the volume tiers. Orders $100+ ship free, and in-stock combos ordered before 2pm PT on weekdays leave the same day.
LAVIS 3-in-1, 1.5 oz: the salon-size combo of dip powder, gel, and lacquer
A LAVIS 3-in-1 is one numbered LAVIS shade delivered three ways in one listing: a jar of LAVIS Color Acrylic and Dip Powder, the matching 0.5 oz gel polish, and the matching nail lacquer. This page is the 1.5 oz version at ND Nails Supply, around 250 shades at wholesale plus the 48-color 3-in-1 sets, and it is the size for the shades a salon runs through every week: the larger jar means fewer reorders on the nudes, pinks, and whites that go under every French and onto every pedicure. The 1 oz version of the same combos is on its own page. LAVIS's powder is a 2-in-1 acrylic and dip powder, highly pigmented, non-yellowing, and made in the USA, and all three pieces carry the same LAVIS number.
What is on this page
| Listing | What is in it | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Single 3-in-1 combo, 1.5 oz | A 1.5 oz LAVIS acrylic and dip powder, a 0.5 oz gel polish, and a nail lacquer of one numbered shade | The weekly-use shades on the wall |
| 3-in-1 Set 48 Colors (Modern Neutrals and other collections) | 48 combos in one box, in a collection's numbers | A whole collection in all three systems in one order |
The sidebar season tags (spring, summer, fall, winter 3-in-1) split the singles by chart season, and every number matches the LAVIS gel, duo, and powder pages, so a single format is topped up later on its own.
1.5 oz or 1 oz?
The 1.5 oz jar is for the shades a salon dips every day. A French dip set uses the bed shade on every nail, so the nudes and pinks empty a 1 oz jar quickly; the 1.5 oz jar halves the reorder frequency on those slots. The 1 oz version on the sister page is for the seasonal colors that are on the chart but not run daily, where the smaller jar keeps the cost of carrying a wide range down. Most salons split the order that way: core nudes, pinks, and whites in 1.5 oz, seasonal brights in 1 oz. The gel and lacquer bottles are the same size in both.
How the three formats are used
- Dip. Prep, a thin coat of dip base, dip the nail into the jar, tap and brush off, repeat for two or three coats, activator, shape and buff, second activator, then top; no lamp.
- Acrylic. A bead of the same powder with monomer, sculpted on a form or a tip, filed, and topped; the 1.5 oz jar is the right size for an acrylic station too.
- Gel. LAVIS base, two thin coats cured 60 seconds each under LED or UV, no-wipe top.
- Lacquer. Base coat, two coats, top coat, air-dried; the pedicure and the take-home bottle.
Dip liquids, monomer, and gel base and top are not in the combo; they are on the LAVIS base and top and dip essentials pages and last many services per set.
Why buy the 3-in-1 rather than the pieces
- One chart, three services. The client picks a shade once and gets it as dip, gel, or lacquer under one number.
- Swatch the trio once. The three formats are made to match under one number, and like any brand's powder, gel, and lacquer they match closely rather than perfectly, so swatch all three together before promising a client one shade across services.
- The powder does two jobs. The LAVIS jar dips with base and activator or sculpts with monomer.
- Retail. The lacquer sells to the client in her own shade.
- Fewer order lines. One line restocks all three formats of a number, and the 48-color set restocks a whole collection.
The 48-color 3-in-1 sets
The Set 48 listings put a full LAVIS collection on the wall in all three systems in one order: 48 jars, 48 gels, and 48 lacquers in the collection's numbers, such as the Modern Neutrals collection for a nude-led salon. They are the fastest way to open a LAVIS dip, gel, and lacquer wall at once, and because every piece is numbered, the wall reads the same whether the tech reaches for the jar or the bottle. After the set, singles fill by number as shades sell through.
Which shades to buy as 3-in-1 in 1.5 oz
The bed shades and the everyday pinks: the nudes that go under every French, the milky and sheer pinks for the natural set, and the two or three staples a salon's clients ask for week after week. Those are the numbers where the dip client, the gel client, and the pedicure client overlap and where the 1.5 oz jar empties fastest, so the larger combo pays off. The seasonal brights belong on the 1 oz page, and a shade that only ever sells as a gel accent is better bought from the gel page alone.
Keeping the three pieces together
Store each number as one slot on the wall, jar, gel, and lacquer side by side and labeled with the LAVIS number, so the tech reaches for the format the service needs. The powder keeps indefinitely capped and dry; the gel a year or more sealed and out of sunlight; the lacquer is the one to watch for thickening, which a drop of thinner fixes. When one piece runs out, replace it from its own page and the slot stays complete.
Three formats, three fill schedules
A client on the same number in three formats returns on three clocks, and the desk books around them. The dip set on her hands wears three to four weeks and is filled by filing the regrowth and re-dipping the number, or soaked off and redone. A gel manicure in the same number wears three to four weeks on a prepped nail and is soaked and repainted rather than filled. The lacquer on her toes lasts about a week before the shine dulls, and is refreshed at home from the bottle she bought or repainted at the next pedicure. Because all three carry one number, the appointment card reads one entry, and the salon knows which jar, bottle, and lacquer to pull the moment she is booked; a number that is on the card for all three services is the number to keep in the 1.5 oz jar.
