Frequently asked questions
What is on the NuGenesis buy in bulk page?
Five sets: the One Line NuGenesis 250 and 180 dipping powder sets, the 100-color dip set, the Metallics Collection of 45 metallic dip powders, and the 180-color gel and lacquer duo set. The dip sets are made of the same 1.5 oz jars sold singly on the NuGenesis color page; the duo set is the 0.5 oz gel and matching lacquer of each number.
Are the NuGenesis bulk sets cheaper than buying the jars singly?
Yes. Each dip set is priced below the same count of 1.5 oz jars bought one by one, and the 180-color duo set below 180 duos, checked against the single prices at ND on the day of writing. The saving per jar is the same on the 100, 180, and 250 sets, so the count is chosen by wall space, not by discount.
All five sets show sold out. When do they come back?
The sets are restocked from NuGenesis in cartons and show as in stock on this page the day they land; at the time of writing all five are waiting. Meanwhile every number is sold singly on the NuGenesis dipping powder and duo pages, so a salon builds the wall by number now and buys the set when the line is refilled.
Which numbers are in the Metallics Collection?
The listing names all 45: NU 03 Wish Upon A Star, NU 04 Gold Dust, NU 06 Lucky Penny, NU 11 Blue Suede Shoes, NU 12 Girl Best Friend, and on through NU 184 Zen Zone, NU 185 You Go Girl, and NU 186 Pep In Your Step. The One Line and 100-color sets are described by count only, so a salon that needs particular numbers checks before ordering.
Do the sets include the NuGenesis liquids?
No. Prep, Base Gel, Activator, and Finish Gel are bought once on the NuGenesis essentials page, in 0.5 oz bottles or 2 oz refills, and last many services. A salon opening a line adds the four-bottle Dip Kit and a Brush Softener to the same cart as the set.
NuGenesis buy in bulk: the One Line dip sets, the Metallics, and the 180-color duo set
This page holds the five NuGenesis bulk listings at ND Nails Supply, the sets that put a whole NuGenesis wall up in one order: the One Line set of 250 dipping powder colors, the One Line set of 180, the 100-color dip set, the Metallics Collection of 45 metallic dip powders, and the 180-color gel and lacquer duo set. Every dip set is made of the same 1.5 oz NuGenesis jars sold singly on the color page, odor free, lightweight and flexible on the nail, air dry with no UV lamp, and easy to soak off, made in the USA and Canada; the duo set is the 0.5 oz gel and matching lacquer of each number. At the time of writing all five sets are waiting on a restock, so this page is the place to watch rather than to order today, and the singles on the color and duo pages are the way to build the wall meanwhile. Everything is wholesale-priced for everyone, no license and no minimum.
What is on this page
| Set | What arrives | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| One Line NuGenesis 250 Dipping Powder Colors | 250 x 1.5 oz jars | The salon opening the full NuGenesis dip line |
| One Line NuGenesis 180 Dipping Powder Colors | 180 x 1.5 oz jars | The salon that wants the core line without the newest numbers |
| NuGenesis 100 Dipping Powder Colors | 100 x 1.5 oz jars | A first dip wall |
| NuGenesis Metallics Collection, 45 colors | 45 x 1.5 oz metallic jars, numbers listed on the listing | The metallic and glitter run for holiday and accent nails |
| NuGenesis Gel and Lacquer 180 Colors | 180 duos, gel and lacquer | The gel wall beside a NuGenesis dip wall; the duo line is clearance, sold until gone |
The Metallics listing names its 45 numbers, from NU 03 Wish Upon A Star and NU 04 Gold Dust through NU 186 Pep In Your Step, so a salon can check its own chart against the set before ordering; the One Line and 100-color sets are described by count only, and a salon that needs particular numbers asks before ordering or buys them as singles.
Sets versus singles, checked on the day of writing
This is one of the pages at ND where the sets are priced below the singles. Each of the four dip sets comes out below the same count of 1.5 oz jars bought one by one on the NuGenesis color page, the One Line and 100-color sets by a small margin per jar and the Metallics by a smaller one, and the 180-color duo set sits below 180 duos bought singly (all checked against the single prices at ND on the day of writing). The saving is per jar and the same on the 100, 180, and 250 sets, so a salon picks the count by the wall it has room for, not by the discount. The sets are the reason a NuGenesis salon buys the line whole once and then refills by number as singles.
How to choose between the three dip counts
- Count the wall. A single-station dip salon runs a chart of 100 to 150 numbers comfortably; a three-station salon runs the 180 and reaches for the 250 when clients start asking for numbers it does not have.
- Check the sold-out numbers. The color page lists what is in stock singly; a set is a way to get every number at once, so when a set is out, the singles of the numbers a salon dips most are the stand-in.
- Add the Metallics for the season. The 45 metallic jars are the holiday and accent run; a salon that already has the 180 buys the Metallics in October rather than the 250.
- Match the duo set to the dip wall. The 180-color gel and lacquer set carries the same numbers as the dip jars, so a client's number is served as dip on the hands and gel or lacquer on the toes. The duo line is clearance at ND, sold until gone, so it is bought once.
- Order the liquids in the same cart. None of the sets include the NuGenesis Prep, Base Gel, Activator, or Finish Gel; the essentials page carries them in 0.5 oz and 2 oz.
What a One Line set does for a salon
- Every number on the chart. A client who asks for a NuGenesis number by name is served, which is the reason a salon carries a full line rather than a hand-picked forty.
- One order line. 250 jars as one listing rather than 250 lines on the sheet, and one restock date.
- A matched chart. The numbers on the jars are the numbers on the NuGenesis 3-in-1 and duo pages, so the wall, the gel rack, and the pedicure shelf read the same.
- Room to refill. After the set, a salon reorders only the numbers that empty, from the color page, at the single price.
Who buys each set
- The new dip salon: the 100-color set and the Dip Kit of liquids, a chart wide enough for walk-ins without a wall the salon cannot fill.
- The NuGenesis salon adding a station: the One Line 180, so the second station carries the same chart as the first and any tech can serve any client.
- The salon whose clients ask by number: the One Line 250, every jar NuGenesis makes, and no number turned away.
- The salon with the line already on the wall: the Metallics in October and the 180-color duo set for the gel and pedicure side.
Receiving and storing a full line
A 250-jar set arrives in cartons; unpack it in number order onto the rack the same day so the chart is usable from the first client, and keep the cartons for the numbers that will not fit. Powder keeps indefinitely closed and dry, and only clumps when a wet base brush goes into it, so dip from a tray and keep the lids on. Put the top thirty numbers, the nudes, pinks, reds, and French powders, at working height and the seasonal and metallic numbers above, and rotate them down as the season turns. A set this size is also the moment to hang a swatch chart of the line, painted by number, so a client picks from the chart rather than from 250 lids.
Wholesale pricing at ND Nails Supply
Every NuGenesis bulk set is wholesale-priced for everyone, with no business license, no minimum order, and no membership fee, and each set is priced a little below the same count of singles, which is the reason to buy the line whole. Free shipping on orders $100+, and in-stock sets ordered before 2pm PT on weekdays leave the same day; at the time of writing all five are waiting on a restock, and the singles ship now.
