Frequently asked questions
What LAVIS gift sets are on this page?
Around 200 sets: Holiday Collection sets of 7 gel polishes with a base gel and top gel, 9-color Holiday gel sets, Holiday Gift Bundles of 4 gel and lacquer duos with base and top, Builder Gel in the Bottle Kit 3 and Kit 6, the 48-color gel collection boxes, the C06 Maple and Mocha 24, the 12-color Glitter Diamond Reflective set, the 3-in-1 Modern Neutrals 48, cat eye sets, and the bath bomb buy-five-get-one listing.
Which LAVIS set is the right gift?
For a client, a Holiday Collection set, because the base and top are in the box and she can do a full gel manicure at home with nothing else. For a new tech, a Holiday Collection set plus a Builder Gel Kit 3. For a salon that runs pedicures, the Holiday Gift Bundles, which put the same four shades on hands and toes. For a salon opening on LAVIS, a 48-color set, a Kit 6, and a cat eye set.
How do I know which shades are in a set?
LAVIS prints the shade numbers in the set title, such as Set 16 with 247, 244, 243, 242, 248, 246, 245, and those are the same numbers as the LAVIS gel color page, so a set can be checked against the wall before ordering and any single shade reordered by number later. Sets marked Ver 2 or carrying a collection name belong to the Deluxe, glitter, or cat eye lines.
How is a LAVIS gel set applied?
Prep, dehydrate, and cure a thin coat of the base gel from the box; two thin coats of color cured 60 seconds each under LED or UV, a third for jellies and glitters; the no-wipe top from the box capped at the free edge and cured. The lacquer side of a duo bundle takes a base coat, two coats, and top coat air-dried. Remove with an acetone wrap for 10 to 15 minutes.
Are LAVIS gift sets sold at wholesale?
Yes. Every set, kit, bundle, and collection box at ND Nails Supply is wholesale-priced for everyone, with no business license, no minimum order, and no membership fee. Kit 3 listings ship with free mini files and buffers. Orders $100+ ship free, and in-stock sets ordered before 2pm PT on weekdays leave the same day.
LAVIS gift sets: gel sets with base and top, duo bundles, builder kits, and full collections
This is the LAVIS gift and set page at ND Nails Supply, the sets a salon buys as a boxed gift, a starter kit, or a whole drop in one order: around 200 listings at wholesale across gel color, gel and lacquer duos, builder gel, 3-in-1, and cat eye. The largest groups are the Holiday Collection sets (7 gel polishes with a base gel and a top gel), the 9-color Holiday gel sets, the Holiday Gift Bundles (4 gel and lacquer duos with base and top), and the Builder Gel in the Bottle Kit 3 and Kit 6, with the 24, 48, and 12-color collection boxes and the cat eye sets rounding it out. Every set is built from the same LAVIS bottles sold singly on the brand pages, so a set is topped up by the bottle when one shade sells out.
What is on this page

| 9-color Holiday gel sets | 9 gel polishes, 25 numbered sets | A deeper shade drop without the base and top |

Which LAVIS set to give, and which to stock
- Gift for a client: a Holiday Collection set, because the base and top are in the box and she can do a full gel manicure at home with nothing else.
- Gift for a new tech: a Holiday Collection set plus a Builder Gel Kit 3, which together cover color, base, top, and a first strengthening overlay.
- The salon that runs gel and pedicures: the Holiday Gift Bundles, since the four duos put the same shade on hands and toes.
- The salon opening on LAVIS: a 48-color gel set for the wall, a Kit 6 for the builder service, and a cat eye set for the accent menu.
- The seasonal refresh: the numbered 7 and 9-color sets; the shade numbers in each title make it easy to pick a set that does not duplicate what is on the wall.
How to read a set title
LAVIS prints the shade numbers in the set title: a Holiday Collection set reads "Set 16, 247, 244, 243, 242, 248, 246, 245" and a Gift Bundle reads "001, 068, 021, 028". Those are the same numbers as the LAVIS gel color page, so a salon can check a set against its chart before ordering and reorder any single shade later by number. Sets that say "Ver 2" or carry a collection name (Maple and Mocha, Diamond Reflective, Cabin Fever) belong to the Deluxe, glitter, and cat eye lines and are reordered from those pages.
How to apply a LAVIS gel set
- Prep. Push back, buff lightly, dehydrate, and cure a thin coat of the base gel from the box.
- Color. Two thin coats, cured 60 seconds each under LED or UV; the jelly and glitter shades build with a third.
- Top. The no-wipe top gel from the box, capped at the free edge, cured 60 seconds.
- Lacquer side of a duo bundle. Base coat, two coats, top coat, air-dried.
- Remove. File the top, acetone wrap 10 to 15 minutes, push off.
Why sets with base and top are the better gift
A set of colors alone assumes the recipient already has a base and top that match; a set with both in the box is a complete service, and for a client it means the first at-home manicure works. The Holiday Collection sets and the Gift Bundles are built that way, and the Builder Gel kits go further with the protein bond and primer. That is also why these sets work as starter kits: a new station opens with one box and adds singles as the chart grows.
When to order gift sets
Gift sets sell in two windows: November and December for the holidays, and the run-up to Mother's Day and graduation in spring. The numbered Holiday Collection sets are sized for the first window, and a salon that retails them puts the boxes on the counter from mid-November with a swatch of the seven shades beside each. For the salon's own use, the sets are a year-round buy: a new station opens with one box in any month, and the Kit 3 and Kit 6 builder kits restock as the builder service grows. Order early in the season, since a sold-out set does not come back until the whole box is restocked, and reorder the shade that sells out of a set by its number from the LAVIS gel page rather than waiting on the set.
Gift sets as the salon's retail shelf in December
The sets that include base and top are complete manicures in a box, which is what makes them retail rather than wholesale in the holiday weeks. Salons put a few of the Holiday Collection and Nude Pastel sets on the desk from mid-November, priced for the client who wants a gift for someone who does her own gel at home, and keep the LAVIS Buy in Bulk tiers for their own restocking. A client who buys a set for a friend usually buys the same numbers again for herself in January, so the numbers inside the gift sets are the ones to keep on the wall through the new year.
