Frequently asked questions
What is in the summer colors collection?
Around 1,450 live products tagged for summer by the brands ND carries, in every format: gel and lacquer duos, gel singles, acrylic and dip powder, 3-in-1 combos, nail lacquer, and dip powder. LAVIS is the largest group, then LDS, OPI, NuGenesis, DND, DND Diva, DND DC, Chaun Legend, Aprés, V Beauty Pure, and SNS. The palette runs neons, corals and oranges, hot pinks, turquoise and aqua, lime and mint, mango and banana yellows, bright whites, and glitters.
Which summer shades should a salon stock first?
A neon pink, a coral, an orange, a turquoise or aqua, a lime or mint, and a bright white. LAVIS 090 Neon Banana is here in gel, duo, 3-in-1, and powder; DND DC 279 Coral Bells and NuGenesis 046 Mango Tango cover coral and mango by name; OPI's S45 Not So Bora-Bora-Ing duo and the A16 and A70 Powder Perfection dips cover the premium column; LAVIS Summer Breeze and the LDS tags carry the depth.
Why shop by season instead of by brand?
Because clients ask by color, not by brand. A seasonal page shows every brand's answer to the same shade family side by side, so a salon can pick the price tier that suits each client and fill the chart's gaps without opening ten brand pages. Once the season's staples are chosen, they are reordered from the brand pages or the seasonal sub-pages for LAVIS, LDS, DND, and OPI.
How do I make neon gel look bright?
Cure one coat of white gel underneath: neon pigments are sheer, and a white base makes a neon pink or orange read at full strength in two thin coats instead of four. Keep the coats thin and cure fully, because brights wrinkle when applied thick, and cap the free edge with the top coat since summer sets meet sand, sunscreen, and pool water. A white base with one neon accent nail is the easy sell.
Are summer colors sold at wholesale?
Yes. Every listing at ND Nails Supply is wholesale-priced for everyone, with no business license, no minimum order, and no membership fee. The 6, 12, 36, and 48-color sets on the brand pages carry the lowest per-shade cost. Orders $100+ ship free, and in-stock items ordered before 2pm PT on weekdays leave the same day. Filter by brand, format, color, or style option in the sidebar.
Summer nail colors, every brand and every system
This is the summer shade board across ND Nails Supply: around 1,450 live products tagged for the season by the brands ND carries, in every format a salon runs. LAVIS carries the largest group, followed by LDS, OPI, NuGenesis, DND, DND Diva, DND DC, Chaun Legend, Aprés, V Beauty Pure, and SNS. The formats are gel and lacquer duos, gel color singles, acrylic and dip powder, 3-in-1 combos, nail lacquer, and dip powder, so the same neon, coral, or turquoise can be delivered as a gel manicure, a dip set, a lacquer pedicure, or a sculpted acrylic. The palette is what summer means on a chart: neons, corals and oranges, hot pinks, turquoise and aqua, lime and mint, mango and banana yellows, and the bright whites and glitters of June through August.

Use the sidebar to filter by brand, by format, by color (pink is the largest family), or by the style option on a listing (gel and lacquer, gel only, lacquer only, with dip powder, with base and top). Part of the page is tagged clearance, so the availability filter hides what has sold through.
How to build a summer chart from this page
- The core six: a neon pink, a coral, an orange, a turquoise or aqua, a lime or mint, and a bright white. LAVIS 090 Neon Banana is here in gel, duo, 3-in-1, and powder; DND DC 279 Coral Bells and NuGenesis 046 Mango Tango cover the coral and mango by name.
- The premium column: OPI Intelli duos such as S45 Not So Bora-Bora-Ing, the Powder Perfection dips A16 The Thrill of Brazil and A70 Red Hot Rio, and the F91 Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet 3-in-1 for the client who asks for a name.
- The value depth: the LAVIS Summer Breeze collection (48 brights and neons) and the LDS summer tags, which carry the depth of the chart at house-brand pricing.
- The pedicure match: every duo's lacquer side is the toe color, and summer is when the pedicure chart matters most; DND Diva 216 Tropic Like It's Hot and the LDS lacquers fill it.
- The soft column: LDS 006 I'm Blushing For You, 007 Just Peachy, and 005 Beige Me for the client who wants summer without neon.
Why buy by season rather than by brand?
Because clients ask by color, not by brand. A client who wants a neon orange for a beach trip does not care whether it is LAVIS or DND; she cares that it is on the chart in June. A seasonal page lets a salon see every brand's answer to the same shade family side by side, pick the price tier that suits the client, and fill the gaps without opening ten brand pages. Once the season's staples are chosen, the brand pages and the seasonal sub-pages linked below are where they are reordered.
How to apply neons so they stay bright
- White under neon. Neon pigments are sheer; one cured coat of white gel underneath makes a neon pink or orange read at full strength in two coats instead of four.
- Thin coats, full cure. Neons and brights are the shades most likely to wrinkle if applied thick; two thin coats cured 60 seconds each.
- Cap the edge. Summer sets meet sand, sunscreen, and pool water, so cap the free edge with the top coat and cure fully.
- Lacquer side. Base coat, two thin coats, top coat, and tell the client that sunscreen and chlorine dull a lacquer pedicure faster than a gel one.
Pro tip: a bright white or milky base with one neon accent nail sells the summer chart without committing the client to ten neon nails.
When does the summer chart go up?
Most salons switch from the spring pastels in the first week of June and carry summer through August. Neons and corals peak in June and July; the turquoise, aqua, and bright whites carry August until the fall rusts and burgundies arrive in September. Leave the corals and a bright white on the chart into early fall for the late-vacation client, and rotate the neons out first. The sidebar season tags do the rotation.
The summer pedicure chart
Summer is the one season where the pedicure chart matters as much as the hand chart, and most of the duos on this page exist for that reason: the gel goes on the fingers and the matching lacquer on the toes, or the lacquer alone for the client who only books a pedicure. A summer pedicure chart needs fewer shades than the hand chart, roughly a coral, an orange, a hot pink, a red, a turquoise, and a bright white, in lacquer or in the gel that the pedicure chair's lamp cures. DND Diva's Tropic Like It's Hot, NuGenesis's Mango Tango, and the OPI Powder Perfection dips run as pedicure gels or dips, and the LDS and LAVIS lacquers cover the air-dry side. Keep the pedicure bottles on the chair, not the wall, so the tech is not walking across the salon for a color.
