Frequently asked questions
What is an SNS Pro 3-in-1?
One SNS shade in three matched formats: a 1.5 oz jar of SNS Pro dipping and acrylic powder, a 0.5 oz gel polish, and a 0.5 oz nail lacquer, so the client's dip color repeats as a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure. ND stocks the two SNS Pro 3-in-1 collections, named Beige and Burgundy by SNS, 144 shades each, as single combos, 36-shade boards, and a 144-shade set with three free cordless lamps.
Are the Beige and Burgundy collections beige and burgundy colors?
No. The names are SNS's collection names, not shade families. Each collection runs the full range from sheers and pinks (French Connection, Kyoto Cherry Blossom) through reds (Red Velvet, Rum Raisin), greens and blues (Hinoki Cypress, Fairy Blue Wren), and winter whites and glitters (Ice Storm, Times Square, Nutcracker). Filter by collection and color in the sidebar.
What else do I need to use the 3-in-1?
For the dip side, the SNS liquids: base, sealer, top, and brush saver, on the SNS essentials page; they last many services per set. For the gel side, an SNS gel base and no-wipe top and an LED or UV lamp; the 144-set ships with three cordless lamps. The lacquer side needs only a base and top coat. The powder also sculpts with monomer as an acrylic.
Boards or single combos: how should a salon buy?
Boards to build a wall: each is 36 consecutive numbers, so four boards of one collection rebuild the full 144-shade chart in SNS order, and restocking is by number. Singles to fill gaps or to add the gel and lacquer match for shades the salon already runs in dip. A salon opening on SNS buys the 144-set for the whole Burgundy collection plus the lamps.
Is the SNS Pro 3-in-1 sold at wholesale?
Yes. Every combo, board, and set at ND Nails Supply is wholesale-priced for everyone, with no business license, no minimum order, and no membership fee, and every single combo is priced the same across both collections. Orders $100+ ship free, and in-stock items ordered before 2pm PT on weekdays leave the same day.
SNS Pro 3-in-1: dip powder, gel, and lacquer of one shade in one box
An SNS Pro 3-in-1 is one SNS shade delivered three ways: a 1.5 oz jar of SNS Pro dipping and acrylic powder, a 0.5 oz gel polish, and a 0.5 oz nail lacquer, matched so a client's dip color can be repeated as a gel manicure and as a lacquer pedicure. ND Nails Supply stocks the two SNS Pro 3-in-1 collections at wholesale, named Beige and Burgundy by SNS, 144 shades each and numbered 001 to 144, as 288 single combos, eight 36-shade boards, and a 144-shade set that ships with three free SNS cordless UV/LED lamps. SNS Pro powders are fast-drying, flexible and strong, lightweight, and made in the USA.

The collection names are SNS's own and do not describe the shade family: each holds a full range from sheers and pinks (French Connection, French Kiss, Kyoto Cherry Blossom) through reds and wines (Red Velvet, Rum Raisin, Deep Satisfaction), greens and blues (Hinoki Cypress, Fairy Blue Wren, Baby Boomer Blue), and the winter whites and glitters (Ice Storm, Winter Solstice, Times Square, Nutcracker).

Why a salon buys the 3-in-1 rather than the jar
- One chart, three services. The client picks a shade from one board and gets it as dip on her hands, gel on a refill, and lacquer on her toes, matched by SNS under one number.
- The powder does two jobs. SNS Pro powder is a dipping and acrylic powder, so the same jar sculpts with monomer for the acrylic client.
- Retail. The lacquer bottle sells to the client to take home in her own shade.
- One order for a wall. A board lands 36 numbered shades in sequence, and the 144-set adds three cordless lamps for the gel side.
How the three formats are used
- Dip. Prep, brush a thin coat of SNS base, dip at a 45-degree angle, tap and brush off, repeat for two or three coats, apply sealer (sets in seconds, no lamp), shape and buff, second sealer, then SNS top. Odor-free, and it dries almost instantly.
- Gel. Base, two thin coats of the gel cured under LED or UV, no-wipe top. The gel side is the refill and the client who prefers a thinner nail.
- Lacquer. Base coat, two coats, top coat, air-dried; the pedicure and the retail bottle.
The dip liquids and the gel base and top are not in the combo; they are on the SNS essentials page and last many services per set.
How to build an SNS Pro wall from the boards
Each board is 36 consecutive numbers, so four boards of one collection rebuild the full 144-shade wall in the order SNS swatches it, and the wall reads the same as the SNS color chart. A salon that already runs SNS dip and wants the gel and lacquer match buys the boards for the shades it sells most and singles for the rest. A salon opening on SNS buys the 144-set, which lands the whole Burgundy collection and the three cordless lamps that the gel side needs at three stations. Because every shade is numbered within its collection, the board position on the wall matches the number on the jar, so restocking is by number.
SNS Pro 3-in-1 or the SNS gel and lacquer duo?
The duo is the gel and lacquer only, for a salon that does not run dip; the 3-in-1 adds the 1.5 oz powder, which is the larger part of the box and the format most SNS salons build on. If the salon runs dip at all, the 3-in-1 is the better buy per shade; if it never will, the duo page carries the same shades without the powder. The Tiffany Blue and Pink SNS Pro collections are sold as 4-in-1 and as separate powder and duo pages, so a salon matching an existing Tiffany Blue or Pink chart should start from those pages instead.
How the three bottles are stored and rotated
Keep the three formats together on the wall by number rather than splitting them by type, so the tech reaches for one slot per shade and the client sees the dip jar, gel, and lacquer as one color. The powder keeps indefinitely capped and dry; the gel and lacquer bottles keep for a year or more sealed and out of sunlight, and the lacquer is the one to watch for thickening, which a drop of thinner fixes. Retail the lacquer bottle from the slot and reorder it as a single combo or from the SNS Pro gel and lacquer page, so the wall never has an empty third.
Retailing the lacquer third
Of the three pieces in the box, the lacquer is the one that leaves the salon. An SNS client who has just had a dip set in a Pro number wants the same shade on her toes and for touch-ups, and the 0.5 oz lacquer bottle is the retail sale at the desk: it carries the same code as the jar on her hands, so she asks for it by code the next time. Salons that price the trio into a service keep the lacquer on a small retail shelf by the desk in the codes on the swatch board, and reorder the trio when the lacquer sells through, since the box is the cheapest way to restock the bottle alongside the powder and gel it matches. A lacquer that thickens on the retail shelf is thinned with lacquer thinner, not remover, and wiped at the neck before it is capped.
