Reviews

This system is so worth it

"I’m a medical student and this stuff has absolutely changed the game for me. Having something that is so much more affordable than the salon, durable (hygienic), and BEAUTIFUL that I can do by myself as a little leisure activity is exactly what I’ve been needing. Co I have used the system exactly as instructed and have had gorgeous, lasting nails since it arrived. I initially bought the little starter kits to see if it was legit and it absolutely is. I’ve since bought the full size bottles and given away all my non dazzle dry nail polish. I can’t see myself using anything else"

— Bailey (5/5)

Great base coat!!

"Love this base coat! I use it with each color and so far, even darker colors, don’t break through it! My natural nail underneath also stays healthy, which is wonderful!! Great product!"

— Samantha C. (5/5)

Best base coat!

"Dazzle Dry base coat is an absolute must when doing a manicure. It provides the perfect base for polish staying power. Polish applies easily over top and lasts for up to 14 days! You might want to skip this step but you really shouldn’t if you want your manicure to last."

— JANICE D. (5/5)

Polish lasted 10 days and

"Polish lasted 10 days and I did dishes daily. I love that it looks like gel but safer for my hands and nails."

— Cristina F. (5/5)

Love it!

"This base coat completely transformed my nail routine. It delivers incredible gel-like longevity, letting my polish last over a week without chipping, and it dries remarkably fast. The formula is temperature-sensitive and needs to be warmed up in hot water if it gets cloudy, but the performance makes that tiny extra step entirely worth it. I highly recommended Dazzle dry!!!"

— Alannah D. (5/5)

I've never skipped this step

"I've never skipped this step but know starting with it and following the steps my nails will last a full week or more. It dries so fast that it's quick to put on the 2 coats. I'm so happy that I found this nail polish."

— Patrice K. (5/5)

Base Coat + Nail Prep are the best!

"Base coat works superbly by locking onto Step #1, Nail Prep. My nails feel nourished & protected making my Dazzle Dry polish last long (8-9 days). Amazing!"

— Anne M. (4/5)

must have!

"a must have for your dry-in-5 mani! I am a DD fan for life as I will have bed sheet imprints on my nails no more. It really dries that fast without use of harsh chemicals or lights. Love the DD way!"

— Christina M. (5/5)

Formulated by science and working for a scientist!

"The dazzle dry system stands up well to science! I wear gloves and wash my hands a lot, so nail polish has to be durable or else it chips, peels, and looks sad after a few days. This system withstood a week of lab and house work. I love it!"

— Laura F. (5/5)

Dazzle dry is my go

"Dazzle dry is my go to nail polish. It’s the only thing I use. I love all the colors and the application always goes on great and you can’t beat the drying time. It takes five minutes tops and you’re dry. 5 MINUTES! You can’t beat it. You may think it’s a little on the pricey side, but considering what you would pay for a manicure of any kind, you’re getting a hell of a deal. You get what you pay for. Try if you haven’t. You won’t be disappointed."

— Tina S. (5/5)

Hi there, thank you so much for your question! We offer professional sizes for those that are registered for Dazzle Dry Pro. We have provided the link to the wholesale website: https://pro.dazzledry.com/account/login?checkout_url=/ We appreciate your business!
I just opened up a brand new base coat. When I applied it, and painted the nail with it, as I lifted the brush off the nail, the polish formed a string. This happened with each nail. It is a brand new bottle. What should I do?
