How to

Step 1: Nail Prep Scrub each nail with a lint-free pad thoroughly to remove any oils or lotions.

Step 2: Base Coat Apply two layers to each nail, allowing each coat to dry matte. If Base Coat is cloudy or jelly-like, stand the bottle in one inch of hot water until the product becomes clear. **Do not microwave or submerge in water. 

Step 3: Lacquer Apply two layers of Nail Lacquer to each nail, allowing each layer to dry matte. **Avoid contact with cuticles and skin to prevent lifting.

Step 4: Top Coat Apply one layer of Top Coat to each nail after the Lacquer has dried matte. Wait five minutes—your manicure is done!

+Revive: Add 6-8 drops of Revive to a Top Coat, Transform, or Nail Lacquer whose consistency is too thick. Add more if necessary. 

**DO NOT add Revive to a Base Coat. It will ruin the product. Store with original cap to prevent evaporation from occurring.

Reviews

Dazzle Dry is great!

"This is my favorite color! I’ve been using it a couple years but I had been buying off of Amazon and this shade was out. I thought well, I should go to the source and I’m really glad I did. It is cheaper & I have many more shades to choose from. I found out about dazzle dry from a local news show and I thought I would try it. I was really sick of doing my nails every other day. After trying dazzle dry I have not bought any other polish since! I get compliments on my nails and have converted a few other people. I’ve bought starter kits for others to get them started! Picture is after a week! Thank you for your product!"

"This system is AMAZING!! No more worrying your nails are going to smudge! I get so many compliments from people about my nails. And I do them myself. Trust me when I say it’s worth it!!!"

Beautiful coverage

"I was looking for a darker purple and this one fits the bill. It is more on the blue side but is quite nice. I have put a coat of Breathe Free on top to give it an even deeper hue."

— Suzanne T. (5/5)

Perfect Color!

"I bought the mini and will absolutely be getting the full size bottle. This is the perfect everyday shade. It goes with everything! In these pictures you will see my 12 day old manicure, on my dominant, right hand, which is 2 coats of anticipation and 1 coat of stardust. Not only is the color beautiful but you can see by the photos that it lasts. I'm a working mom of 2 and couldn't be more thankful that a product like this exists!"

— Asia Z. (5/5)

"This is an awesome system. Best system hands down. It is so nice to be able to get back to life shortly after painting my nails. Anticipation is a beautiful color. Highly recommend."
