What's in the Essentials Line

Dip Base Coat — adheres powder to natural nail. Activator — chemically hardens powder for durability. Sealer — pre-top-coat prep. Top Coat (gel or matte) — final protective seal. Prep Dehydrator + Bond — removes oils, boosts adhesion for max wear.

Why Workflow Matters

Great dip color + wrong workflow liquids = short-wear dip. LDS's activator/base/top are matched to LDS powder chemistry for maximum 21+ day retention. Mixing brands often causes lifting, chip-outs, or cloudy top coats.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the minimum essentials kit?

Dip base coat, activator, sealer, top coat. Plus Protein Bond + dehydrator for prep. 6 bottles total — can't operate dip service without all of these.

Why does each liquid matter?

Base coat bonds powder to nail. Activator catalyzes the bonding chemistry. Sealer locks the structure. Top coat seals shine. Skipping any one breaks retention.

Can I use non-LDS activator with LDS powder?

Not recommended. LDS workflow liquids are calibrated to LDS powder. Cross-brand workflow often causes brittle finish or premature lifting.

How fast do high-volume salons go through essentials?

4–6x faster than color shades. Stock 3–4 bottles of each to avoid mid-week stockouts.

Wholesale on workflow liquids?

Yes — tiered wholesale + Net-15 at $300+ orders. High-turnover stock category for any active dip salon.
