Reviews

The Dazzle Dry Base Coat

"The Dazzle Dry Base Coat is the foundation that makes the entire system perform so well. It creates an excellent bond between the nail and polish, helping prevent peeling and chipping while extending the life of my manicure. My nails feel stronger and look healthier since switching to the Dazzle Dry system, and the base coat leaves a smooth surface that makes color application effortless. Combined with the rest of the system, it delivers a fast-drying, long-lasting manicure that truly transforms both the look and feel of my nails. I wouldn't want to do a manicure without it."

— Heather C. (5/5)

The real MVP of this system!

"Ok you have to do the base coat, and apply it correctly. Heat it up till it’s clear and the viscosity is nice and thin. Then do two coats spaced out where it’s fully dry and sort of martinis in between. Cost the “free edge” like the directions say by wrapping g a teeny bit in the end of you nail-trust me—polishes won’t budge this way. And make sure your nail is super clean before you apply. I like to purchase the little lint free cotton squares to apply the Nail Prep step right before. The base coat allows your nail E’s to expand in water/heat/cold etc and is flexible so it doesn’t get micro cracks which cause chips! GENIUS."

— Sunya H. (5/5)

Im not really sure how

"Im not really sure how I feel about this one. Of course, as being part of the system I am obliged to use it, but it has been a while since the cloudy color does not goes away even after doing the warm water bath. It has thickened and it seems it takes longer to dry now."

— Marta A. (2/5)

Always do a double layer

"huge difference if you do 1 or 2 base layer coats. Do 2. Nails look much more professional. Like a no chip gel. . . but it's not."

— S (5/5)

Love, Love, Love!!!

"The star of the Dazzle Dry System!! Amazing results because of this gem!"

— Regie S. (5/5)

Clean up brush

"I love the concept of a clean up brush. it took a little while to get used to it but it did a pretty good job my big problem however is that I don’t know how to clean it. Do I clean it in polish remover? Do I not clean it? Do I clean it in nail prep I don’t know."

— Laura Y. (4/5)

Fast drying-get the full version!

"A big part of what motivated me to get the full version of the system was the fact that my mini version of this got pretty goopy. Hoping the full version will last until the bottle is finished."

— GFG (5/5)

Can’t beat this system!

"I am literally obsessed with this nail system. Do you like having your nails done but hate the damage done by salons? Have you tried countless semi cured gel stick ons and other less damaging options to no avail? Look no further! Dazzle dry looks great, lasts (for me) about 2 weeks, is simple to remove without acetone, and quick to apply! I can’t wait to get more colors. Dazzle dry is the end all be all for me. I have applied this system twice. The only “negative” I’ve noticed is that after a few days/week, my nail tips will start to show. I’m thinking this may be due to an application error/something I’m doing wrong. All in all, it doesn’t bother me, it’s just something I’ve noticed."

— Kenna W. (5/5)

Great polish!

"This stuff is the bomb! Love how easy it goes on and the dry time is amazingly fast! Nails are protected and primed, I never paint my nails without it."

— Sage P. (5/5)

Great Product

"Without the fabulous base coat, my nails would not be as strong and the polish would not last as long. Love the whole system."

— Laurie V. (5/5)

How can I get a big size of the?
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?
