Frequently asked questions
How does Set pricing work in this SNS Pro hub?
Each Set ships as one complete box, not broken into individual shades. The two standard sizes are Set 36 colors at $234.00 (was $378.00 MSRP, $6.50 per duo) and Set 144 colors at $936.00 (was $1,512.00 MSRP, also $6.50 per duo). Per-duo math is flat across Set sizes, so wholesale savings come from the 38 percent MSRP discount rather than a volume premium tier.
What are the three SNS Pro color collections in this hub?
The Pro line organizes into three signature color stories: Tiffany Blue (149 SKUs in cool aquas, teals, navy, icy whites for spring and summer); Beige (149 SKUs in nudes, taupes, mocha for year-round basic service); and Burgundy (149 SKUs in reds, wine, plum, deep berries for fall and holiday). Each collection ships as Set 144 master boxes or smaller 36-color Part Sets curated around the palette.
What are the 8 SNS Senshine essentials in this hub?
Alongside the bundles, the hub carries 8 single-bottle Senshine support products at $8.75 each: Gel Base, Gel Top, Sealer Dry, Gelous Base, E.A Bond, Vitamin Oil, plus Senshine Sealer Dry and Senshine Gel Top duplicates in different packaging. Each 0.5oz bottle covers approximately 80 to 120 dipping services. Salons running SNS as primary system replenish these every 30 to 60 days depending on service volume.
Why does this hub focus on bundles instead of single duos?
SNS Pro at ND is positioned for salons that buy by the color story rather than the individual shade. The Pro line ships pre-curated by SNS in master 144-color Sets organized around Tiffany Blue, Beige, or Burgundy palettes. Salons that prefer single-duo purchasing should browse the SNS Gel and Lacquer drilldown (302 standalone duo SKUs in its own collection at the linked sub-line below).
How long does an SNS gel manicure last on the client?
Three weeks is the standard wear window when applied correctly with thin even coats, full free-edge capping, and the right cure per layer. SNS clients tend to be the most brand-loyal across nail systems, so retention rates on the SNS service tier run higher than industry average. Past three weeks the gel develops microcracks at the free edge that trap moisture and lift, so rebook for a fill or full removal at the three-week mark.
What's in this SNS Pro Gel & Lacquer hub
This hub carries 596 SKUs from SNS, focused on the Pro line of gel and matching lacquer products at wholesale.
The mix is bundle-heavy: 588 of the 596 SKUs are pre-curated Sets (36 to 144 colors per box), with 8 SNS Senshine essentials (Base Gel, Top Gel, Sealer Dry, E.A Bond, Vitamin Oil) at the single-bottle tier.
SNS Pro caters to salons that buy by the color story rather than the individual shade. For single-bottle SNS duos, browse the SNS Gel & Lacquer drilldown with 302 SKUs at standalone pricing.
The three SNS Pro color collections
SNS organizes the Pro line into three signature color stories, each released as a 144-shade master Set or a 36-shade Part Set.
- Tiffany Blue Collection (149 SKUs): the cool-tone palette covering aqua, teal, navy, and icy whites for spring and summer service.
- Beige Collection (149 SKUs): the neutral palette covering nude, beige, taupe, mocha, and earth tones for year-round basic service.
- Burgundy Collection (149 SKUs): the warm-tone palette covering reds, wine, plum, and deep berries for fall and holiday service.
How the Set bundles work
Each Set ships as one complete box. Salons buy the full curated bundle, not individual shades broken out of it.
The two standard Set sizes are 36 colors and 144 colors. Set 144 ships at $936.00 against a $1,512.00 MSRP. Set 36 ships at $234.00 against a $378.00 MSRP.
Per-duo math is flat across Set sizes: $936 / 144 = $6.50 per duo, $234 / 36 = $6.50 per duo. Wholesale tier saves roughly 38 percent against MSRP whether the salon buys a small Part or a master 144-color Set.
The Set size choice depends on salon launch budget. A new salon opening fresh typically buys 4 to 6 Sets of 36 to cover the foundation color wall, or one master 144-color Set if budget allows a single-purchase wall.
The 8 SNS Senshine essentials in this hub
Alongside the bundles, the hub carries 8 single-bottle Senshine essentials at $8.75 each (was $9 to $10 MSRP).
- SNS Senshine Gel Base, Gel Top, Sealer Dry, Gelous Base, E.A Bond
- SNS Vitamin Oil for post-service cuticle hydration
Salons running SNS as primary system replenish these essentials every 30 to 60 days depending on service volume. Each 0.5oz bottle covers approximately 80 to 120 dipping services.

Step-by-step SNS gel and lacquer application
- Prep: shape, push back cuticles, gentle buff to remove surface shine, dehydrate with SNS E.A Bond.
- Base coat: thin layer of SNS Senshine Gel Base, cure 60 seconds at 48W LED or 120 seconds at 36W UV.
- Color coat 1: thin even gel layer from the Set, cap the free edge, cure 60 seconds LED.
- Color coat 2: second thin layer for full opacity, cure 60 seconds LED.
- Top coat: SNS Senshine Gel Top for high gloss, cure 60 seconds, wipe inhibition layer with 91 percent alcohol.
- Takehome retail: hand the client the matching SNS lacquer from the Set for between-fill touchups or paired pedicure use.
Pro tip: SNS clients tend to be brand-loyal long-term, so introduce them to the Senshine essentials line (E.A Bond, Sealer Dry, Vitamin Oil) at the takehome counter. Repeat purchases on essentials drive the SNS lifetime customer value.
Care and longevity for clients
- Wear cleaning gloves for dishes, bathroom scrubs, and garden work. Solvents and abrasives shorten gel wear from 21 days down to 10.
- Apply SNS Vitamin Oil daily, twice daily for the first week. Hydrated cuticles prevent lifting at the proximal edge.
- Rebook at week three for a fill or full removal. Past three weeks the gel develops microcracks at the free edge that lift.
Salon storage and shelf life
Keep SNS bottles upright at room temperature out of direct sun. Heat over 80F thins the gel viscosity and shortens cure consistency.
Unopened Set boxes last 24 months from the manufacture date on the box. Opened bottles stay usable 18 months at room temperature, or 24 months if stored upright in a drawer away from light.
