Frequently asked questions
Are the LAVIS gel bundles a different gel from the singles?
No. Every set boxes the same numbered LAVIS gel polish that sells as singles on the gel color page, 0.5 oz bottles on the 001 to 282 chart. A bundle is a faster way to put a run of numbers on the wall, and the sets with base and top add the liquids a first station needs.
Are the sets cheaper than buying the gels one by one?
Mostly no, and the page says so: the six-color sets and the G nine-sets are priced as their bottles, the nine-color Holiday Gel Nail Polish Collection boxes sit slightly above nine singles, and the sets with base, top, and bond are priced at about the sum of their pieces. The exception is the 48-color collections (Tea Party, Summer Breeze, Fall 48), which come in below 48 singles per bottle, checked against the single price at ND on the day of writing.
Which bundle should a new salon buy first?
A set that includes the base and top: a Holiday Collection set (seven gels, base, top) or a Summer Collection or Nude Pastel set (six gels, base, top, protein bond and primer). Add a LAVIS lamp and the station is complete. A salon opening a full wall starts with a 48-color collection instead.
How do I know which numbers are in a set?
Every set title lists its numbers, so check the box against the numbers already on the wall before ordering. The LAVIS chart runs in blocks: 001 to 096 core, 097 to 108 glitters, 109 to 156 spring pastels (Tea Party), 157 to 204 summer neons (Summer Breeze), 205 and up fall and winter deep tones.
What is in the Builder Gel sets?
Four LAVIS Builder Gel in the Bottle shades with a base gel, a top gel, a buffer, and nail files: the overlay service in one box. The full Builder Gel in the Bottle line, with every B number sold singly, has its own collection page. The set suits a salon adding an overlay service to an existing gel station.
LAVIS gel bundles: 150 boxed sets of LAVIS gel, from six colors to the full 48
This page is every LAVIS gel color set at ND Nails Supply: 150 active listings that box the numbered LAVIS gel polish by season, by theme, and by size, from the six-color Gel Color Sets up to the 48-color Tea Party and Summer Breeze collections. Most sets are gel only; the Holiday Collection, Summer Collection, and Nude Pastel sets add a LAVIS base gel and top gel (and on the Summer and Nude Pastel sets, the protein bond and primer) so a box is a complete first station. Every set carries the same 282-number chart as the LAVIS gel color page, so a bundle is not a different product, only a faster way to put a run of numbers on the wall. Everything is wholesale-priced for everyone, no license and no minimum.

Which bundle for which salon
- Opening a LAVIS wall from nothing: a 48-color collection. Tea Party is the spring pastel block, Summer Breeze the neon block, and the Fall 48 the warm and deep block; one box is a full season in number order, and the 48-color collections cost less per bottle than the same numbers bought as singles, checked against the single price at ND on the day of writing.
- A first gel station: a Holiday Collection set or a Summer Collection set, because the base and top are in the box. The Summer and Nude Pastel sets add the bond and primer as well, so nothing else is needed before the lamp.
- Adding a season to an existing wall: the six- and nine-color seasonal sets. The Fall Winter G1 to G5 runs cover 229 to 276 in order; the Summer G sets cover the neons; the Sets 01 to 14 pull six from the all-year core.
- A gift or a promotion: the named boxes. Sweet Talk, Wine Obsession, and When In Tokyo are the holiday themes; Emily On Vacation and Flashy Beyond Diva are the glitter block, 097 to 108.
- Builder overlays: the three Builder Gel sets, four Builder Gel in the Bottle shades with the base, top, buffer, and files an overlay service needs.
How the sets map to the LAVIS numbers
| Numbers | Family | Sets that cover it |
|---|---|---|
| 001 to 096 | The mixed core | Gel Color Sets 01 to 14, Holiday Sets 2, 4, 20, and 24, Sweet Talk, Wine Obsession, The Essentials |
| 097 to 108 | Glitters | Twinkle The Galaxy, Emily On Vacation, Flashy Beyond Diva, Sunset Party |
| 109 to 156 | Spring pastels | Tea Party 48, Holiday Sets 1, 3, and 5, the G1 to G3 six-sets, Nude Pastel sets |
| 157 to 204 | Summer neons | Summer Breeze 48, the Summer Collection sets, Summer G sets |
| 205 to 276 | Fall and winter deep tones | Fall 48, Fall Winter G1 to G5, Kiss Under Mistletoe, Fantastic Australian Eyes, Holiday Sets 15 to 19, 22, and 23 |
Some Holiday Sets mix blocks (Set 7, Set 9, and Set 12 each span two seasons), and every set lists its numbers in the title, so a buyer can check a box against the wall before ordering and avoid doubling up on numbers already in stock.
Set pricing, plainly
At ND the six-color sets and the G-numbered nine-sets are priced as their bottles: a six-set costs what six single gels cost. The 25 nine-color Holiday Gel Nail Polish Collection boxes sit slightly above nine singles, and the sets that add base, top, and bond are priced at about the sum of the bottles and the liquids. The exception is the 48-color collections, which come in below 48 singles per bottle. So the reason to buy a set is the order sheet and the box, not a markdown: one line restocks a whole run, the numbers arrive together, and the box keeps the season sorted on the shelf. When the wall is up, singles by number on the gel color page are the way to restock.
Selling a bundle through, not just stocking it
A boxed set does two jobs in a salon. On the wall it is a season in number order; at the front desk it is a retail product. The named boxes (Sweet Talk, When In Tokyo, Wine Obsession) are packaged to be sold as gifts to the client who does her own gel at home, and the seven-gel Holiday sets with base and top are a complete home kit apart from the lamp. Salons that carry LAVIS lamps sell the set and the lamp together in December, then restock the same numbers as singles in January when the gift buyers come back for the one shade they used up. The 48-color collections are not retail boxes; they are the wall itself, and a salon that buys one keeps the box as the swatch tray, since the numbers sit in order and the caps show the color.
Using LAVIS gel from any set
- Prep. Push back, buff lightly, dehydrate, then a thin LAVIS base gel, cured.
- Color. Two thin coats, cured 60 seconds each under LED or UV; pull the brush in three strokes and float the second coat.
- Top. LAVIS no-wipe top, capped at the free edge, cured.
- Wear. Three to four weeks with proper prep; early lifting is prep, not the bottle.
- Remove. File the top, wrap in acetone 10 to 15 minutes, push off.
