Frequently asked questions
What is the LDS Healthy 3-in-1 in 1.5 oz?
One numbered LDS shade in three matched formats in one listing: the LDS dipping powder in a 1.5 oz jar, the matching LDS gel polish, and the matching nail lacquer. ND carries around 120 of the 1.5 oz combos, every single at the same price, plus the LDS One Line 3-in-1 1.5 oz bundle of 165 colors. LDS dip is made in the USA and sold on color consistency, chip resistance, long wear, and a gel-like shine.
1.5 oz or 1 oz?
The 1.5 oz jar suits the numbers a salon dips daily, the nudes, pinks, and seasonal staples, where a bigger jar halves the reorder frequency. The 1 oz jar on the sister page suits shades kept for the occasional client. The gel and lacquer bottles are the same in both sizes, and the One Line bundle exists in both, so a salon can open the full line in 1 oz and move its staples to 1.5 oz.
How are the three formats applied?
Dip: LDS base, dip into the jar, tap and brush off, two or three coats, activator, shape and buff, second activator, top; no lamp. Gel: LDS 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 dip liquids and gel base and top are on the LDS dip essentials page.
Is the LDS 3-in-1 the same line as LDS Color Craze?
No. Color Craze is the HEMA-free and TPO-free gel line with four-digit numbers; the 3-in-1 carries the standard LDS gel and lacquer under the classic three-digit dip numbers. Salons keep both: Color Craze for sensitive gel clients, the 3-in-1 for the dip-led client who wants her dip number on her toes. The numbers are separate systems.
Is the LDS 3-in-1 sold at wholesale?
Yes. Every combo at ND Nails Supply is wholesale-priced for everyone, with no business license, no minimum order, and no membership fee, and every single on this page is the same price. The LDS and LAVIS Buy in Bulk page carries volume tiers. Orders $100+ ship free, and in-stock combos ordered before 2pm PT on weekdays leave the same day.
LDS Healthy 3-in-1, 1.5 oz: one LDS number as dip powder, gel, and lacquer
An LDS 3-in-1 is one numbered LDS shade delivered three ways in a single listing: the LDS dipping powder in the 1.5 oz jar, the matching LDS gel polish, and the matching nail lacquer, so the client who dips on her hands, refills in gel, and lacquers her toes stays in one color. ND Nails Supply carries around 120 of the 1.5 oz combos at wholesale, every single at the same price, plus the LDS One Line 3-in-1 1.5 oz bundle of 165 colors that puts the whole numbered line on the wall in one order. LDS dip is made in the USA and sold on color consistency, easy application, chip resistance, long wear, and a gel-like shine, and the numbers here (006 I'm Blushing For You, 007 Just Peachy, 059 Mellow Fellow, 076 Mint My Mind, 170 Young Attitude) are the same numbers on the LDS dip, gel, and lacquer pages.
What is on this page
| Listing | What is in it | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Single LDS 3-in-1, 1.5 oz | A 1.5 oz LDS dipping powder, the matching gel polish, and the matching lacquer of one number | The weekly-use shades on the wall |
| LDS One Line 3-in-1 1.5 oz (165 colors) | 165 combos, the whole numbered line | Opening an LDS dip, gel, and lacquer wall in one order |
The sidebar season tags split the singles into the spring, summer, fall, and winter 3-in-1 drops; winter is the largest group on this page. The 1 oz version of the same combos is on its own page.
1.5 oz or 1 oz?
The 1.5 oz jar is for the numbers a salon dips daily, the nudes, pinks, and the season's two or three staples, where a bigger jar halves the reorder frequency; the 1 oz jar on the sister page is for the shades that sit on the chart for the occasional client. Most LDS salons split the order that way, and because the gel and lacquer bottles are the same in both sizes, only the jar changes. The One Line bundle exists in both sizes too, so a salon can open the full line in 1 oz and move its staples to 1.5 oz as it learns which numbers sell.
How the three formats are used
- Dip. Prep, a thin coat of LDS base, dip the nail into the 1.5 oz jar, tap and brush off, repeat for two or three coats, activator, shape and buff, second activator, then top; no lamp.
- Gel. LDS base, two thin coats cured 60 seconds each under LED or UV, no-wipe top; the refill format and the thinner-nail client.
- Lacquer. Base coat, two coats, top coat, air-dried; the pedicure and the take-home bottle.
The LDS dip liquids and the gel base and top are on the LDS dip essentials page and last many services per set.
Why buy the 3-in-1 rather than the pieces
- One chart, three services. A client picks an LDS number once and gets it as dip, gel, or lacquer with no near-miss matching.
- Refills that match. A dip client who wants a thinner refill moves to the gel in the same number.
- Retail. The lacquer sells to the client to take home.
- Fewer order lines. One line restocks all three formats, and the One Line bundle restocks the whole wall.
Where LDS 3-in-1 sits beside LDS Color Craze
LDS Color Craze is the HEMA-free and TPO-free gel line with its own four-digit numbers; the LDS 3-in-1 on this page carries the standard LDS gel and lacquer under the classic three-digit dip numbers. A salon that runs Color Craze for sensitive gel clients and LDS dip for everyone else keeps both, and uses the 3-in-1 for the dip-led client who wants her dip number on her toes. Where a Color Craze gel and a 3-in-1 lacquer share a shade family, the sidebar color filter finds the nearest match, but the numbers are separate systems and are not interchangeable.
Which numbers to buy in 1.5 oz
The French bed shades and the everyday pinks and nudes, plus the two or three seasonal staples the 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 a 1.5 oz jar empties fastest. Glitters and accent shades such as 170 Young Attitude go on one or two nails per set and belong in 1 oz. A salon opening on LDS buys the One Line in 1 oz to put the whole chart up, then moves its proven daily numbers to 1.5 oz from this page as it learns which sell.
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 LDS number. The powder keeps indefinitely capped and dry, the gel a year or more sealed and out of sunlight, and the lacquer is the one to watch for thickening. When one piece runs out, replace it from the LDS dip, gel, or lacquer page under the same number, and the slot stays complete.
