Reviews

Great base coat!

"The base coat is a great prep step for keeping your nail polish on for 7-10 days! I always apply two coats and then the ridge filler and then another base coat. You do not need a lot and it lasts me 4-6 months. I paint me nails once a week The only thing to remember is it needs to be perfectly clear when you apply it so if it’s cloudy at all warm it up per the instructions."

— Susan M. (5/5)

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)

Dries quickly

"Base works really well. Dries quickly. My nails are not stained from polish when removed. Remember to use on top of ridge filler or your polish will come right off. Order matters. Learned the hard way lol."

— April C. (5/5)

Good but warm bath needed every time

"Good but I wish the brushes were better quality. Since it dries so fast you have to be careful with your application, and it’s hard to when the brushes have hard bristles that aren’t a great shape."

— Lauren K. (4/5)

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)

I have been using Dazzle

"I have been using Dazzle Dry for years! I love your products as does the spa where I reside. If I can’t get an appointment I do it myself! Easy to follow steps, drys quickly and lasts 2-3 weeks! Love your products!"

— Joan R. (5/5)

Easy to apply and I

"Easy to apply and I followed directions to a tee. Flat basecoat. 5-10 minutes. Entire process no less than 30 minutes. Topcoat dried quickly"

— Geraldine M. (5/5)

Basecoat went on smoothly and

"Basecoat went on smoothly and worked fine. I allowed to dry in between layers, however the polish came off in one sheet the next day. I guess my color and topcoat layers were too thick. I’ll try again with thinner layers."

— Katie S. (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)

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?
