Seasonal color drops keep clients booking — and a curated selection of summer shades can make a salon stand out. This buyer’s guide breaks down the practical details for nail technicians and salon owners considering the Summer Colors Acrylic Collection (Part 02), so you can choose the right jars, order efficiently, and apply the powders with confidence.
What’s included and how the collection is organized
The collection is sold as individual acrylic powder jars by color code or as a complete 12-shade set. Individual jars are offered in two net weights (1 oz and 2 oz), while the full collection is available as a 12-piece set in those same sizes. Colors are labeled with numeric codes (for example: 064, 117, 020, through 013), so you can reorder specific shades by number rather than relying on subjective color names.

Key features that matter to salons
- Formulation and finish: Designed for long wear and chip resistance with a glossy finish when sealed.
- Handling: Described as easy to work with for technicians and suitable for home users when following standard acrylic procedures.
- Health and safety: The powders are advertised as non-toxic and odor-free, reducing client complaints tied to strong smells.
- Origin: Made in the USA, which can simplify import concerns and support inventory predictability.
- Packaging: Each purchase contains one jar per selection; set options contain twelve jars.
Sizing, pricing, and ordering strategy
The collection gives you flexibility: choose single 1 oz or 2 oz jars for touch-ups and retail, or buy the Whole Set of 12 if you need a complete seasonal palette. Pricing for this product line currently ranges from $6.00 to $96.00, so plan your inventory budget accordingly — prices can change over time.
How to decide which size to stock:
- 1 oz jars: Good for offering retail to clients or keeping a wider variety of colors in limited storage space.
- 2 oz jars: Better for high-volume application and frequent reorders of popular shades.
- Whole set: Ideal for salons launching seasonal promotions or preparing sample displays for clients.
Practical application tips for technicians
These are general best practices that work with most professional acrylic powders. Always follow product-specific instructions where provided by the manufacturer or supplier.
- Prep thoroughly: Start with clean, dehydrated nail plates and properly shaped tips or forms to ensure adhesion and longevity.
- Use a reliable monomer: Pair the powder with your preferred liquid monomer and a quality acrylic brush; consistent bead size and working time will improve final results.
- Layer for opacity: Build color in thin layers to control cure time and reduce filing. For glittery or sparkly shades, encapsulate as needed for a smooth surface.
- Finish and seal: File to the desired shape, buff lightly, and finish with a top coat or sealer for shine and extra chip resistance.
Care, storage, and safety notes
- Storage: Keep jars tightly closed and stored upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and texture.
- Handling: Although the powders are promoted as non-toxic and odor-free, treat all salon products with care: avoid inhaling dust, and use brushes and tools dedicated to acrylic application.
- Client safety: Patch-test new formulations on clients with sensitivities and follow standard salon sanitation protocols between clients.
- Color variance: Note that colors can appear different under various lights — always check shades under your salon lighting before use.
Who this set is best for
The Summer Colors Acrylic Collection suits a range of buyers: independent nail technicians building a seasonal palette, boutique salons refreshing their retail offerings, and educators demonstrating current summer trends. The numeric color system simplifies reordering of best-sellers, and the two jar sizes accommodate both low- and high-volume needs.
Retail and promotional ideas
- Create a seasonal display with the full 12-shade set to encourage add-on sales.
- Offer small 1 oz jars at checkout for clients who want to take home a single favorite shade.
- Bundle a popular color with a mini top coat or nail file as a retail starter kit.
Where to buy and final considerations
These powders are available through the supplier listed with the collection; consider lead times and shipping when ordering for busy seasons. Sold by Dynamic Nail Supply, the line aims to give salons a dependable summer palette with practical packaging options.
In short: pick jar sizes that match your service volume, test shades under salon light before client use, and rotate the set into displays to boost seasonal bookings. With the right stocking strategy, a summer-themed acrylic powder set can be a reliable revenue driver for the season.
