The store
Family-owned, and still behind the counter
Nail Bay Supply has been on Dorchester Ave for 20+ years, in the middle of Fields Corner, serving the salons of Boston and the techs who work in them.
It's a trade counter, not a showroom. Wide aisles, deep stock, and someone who can tell you which bit you actually want rather than pointing at a shelf.
The family also runs Nails and Spa in Adams Village, which means the people selling you the product use it six days a week.
