Frequently asked questions
What nail treatments does ND carry?
Around 50 listings: CND RescueRXx keratin treatment, OPI Nail Envy Original, LDS and A'DOR gel strengtheners, CND SolarOil in three sizes, LAVIS 24K Gold and LDS Elixir cuticle oils, LAVIS cuticle pipettes, CND Nail Primer, OPI Bond Aid, CND ScrubFresh and Cuticle Away, No Lift Nails Fung-Off and Varisi antifungal solutions, InfaLab liquid styptic, CND CoolBlue sanitizer, Demert enamel dryer spray, LAVIS Acrylic Odor Out, and a gel remover.
Which treatment for peeling or weak nails?
Peeling and white spots: CND RescueRXx, a keratin treatment with jojoba and almond oil massaged into the bare nail twice daily for up to four weeks. Thin, bendy nails that still want gel: the LDS or A'DOR gel strengthener cured under or over the base, compatible with any soak-off gel. Everyday maintenance: OPI Nail Envy as a strengthening lacquer and cuticle oil daily.
Why are primers and cleansers on the treatment page?
Because most damage a salon sees comes from lifting and the picking that follows it. CND ScrubFresh, OPI Bond Aid, and a nail primer used correctly on the plate before an enhancement keep the set on for three weeks and let it soak off cleanly, which is the cheapest nail treatment on the page. Use them only where an enhancement follows and never on the skin.
Can a salon treat a nail fungus?
No. A salon cannot diagnose or treat an infection, but it can decline to enhance a nail that looks infected and can retail an over-the-counter solution such as No Lift Nails Fung-Off or Varisi for home use while the client sees a professional. The InfaLab liquid styptic is for the tech's drawer: it stops a nicked cuticle bleeding in seconds so the service continues.
Are nail treatments sold at wholesale?
Yes. Every bottle, pipette, and pack at ND Nails Supply is wholesale-priced for everyone, with no business license, no minimum order, and no membership fee, and most are the 0.5 oz retail size a salon sells across the desk. Orders $100+ ship free, and in-stock items ordered before 2pm PT on weekdays leave the same day.
Nail treatments: strengtheners, oils, primers, and problem-solvers
Nail treatment is the part of the menu that repairs the nail rather than decorates it: the keratin treatment for peeling nails, the strengthener under gel, the cuticle oil at the end of the service, the primer and pH balancer that stop lifting, and the antifungal and styptic products a salon keeps for the client who arrives with a problem. ND Nails Supply carries around 50 treatment listings at wholesale from CND, OPI, LAVIS, LDS, A'DOR, No Lift Nails, Varisi, InfaLab, and Demert, most in the 0.5 oz retail size that a salon sells across the desk as well as uses at it.

How to run a treatment service
- Assess. Peeling and white spots call for a keratin treatment; thin, bendy nails for a strengthener under gel; lifting sets for better prep; a yellow or thick nail for an antifungal and a polite word about seeing a doctor.
- Prep. Cuticle Away on the cuticle, push back, ScrubFresh to cleanse the plate, Bond Aid or primer only where an enhancement follows.
- Treat. RescueRXx massaged into the bare nail, or a strengthener cured as the first layer under gel color.
- Finish. Cuticle oil at the end of every service, whatever the treatment, and the take-home bottle in the client's hand.
What to retail from this page
Treatment is the category clients buy to take home more than any other, because the results depend on daily use. RescueRXx and Nail Envy are the two bottles clients recognize by name; the LAVIS and LDS oils are the scented house-brand bottles that sell on impulse; the CND SolarOil 40-pack of minis is the classic thank-you gift with a full set. Put the four on a small display at the desk, name the product while applying it, and the retail sale happens at checkout. A gel client who is told her nails are peeling and shown the RescueRXx bottle leaves with it.
Why prep products belong under treatment
Because most damage a salon sees is caused by lifting and the removal that follows it. A set that stays on for three weeks and soaks off cleanly leaves the nail intact; a set that lifts at day five gets picked, and the picking takes the top layer of the plate with it. ScrubFresh, Bond Aid, and a primer used correctly are the cheapest nail treatment on the page, because they prevent the damage the other products repair. Use them on the natural nail only where an enhancement follows, and never on the skin.
Antifungal and styptic: what a salon can and cannot do
A salon cannot diagnose or treat a nail infection, but it can decline to enhance a nail that looks infected and it can sell an over-the-counter nail solution such as Fung-Off or Varisi for the client to use at home while she sees a professional. A liquid styptic is for the tech: a nicked cuticle stops bleeding in seconds, the service continues, and the bottle goes back in the drawer. Keep the styptic at every station and the antifungal on the retail shelf.
A treatment plan a salon can sell
Treatment works as a service when it is booked, not just retailed. A four-week "nail rehab" is the usual shape: the client comes in bare, the tech files and buffs lightly, applies RescueRXx and cuticle oil, and sends her home with both bottles and the instruction to use them twice a day; she returns weekly for a light buff and a check, and at week four she is back on gel with a strengthener under the base. The salon sells two retail bottles, four short visits, and a gel set at the end, and the client gets nails that stop peeling. Charge the visits as a mini manicure, and keep the RescueRXx and Nail Envy bottles within reach of the desk so the plan is visible to the next client in the chair.
