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.

This is a restock for

"This is a restock for me I can’t get enough of this color. Looks great when I do a pedicure and manicure on me!"

— kyriakoula f. (5/5)

Great fall and winter color

"A purplish, cool-toned gray. OPI released a similar color years ago, and this is the perfect, long-wearing dupe. I expect I will reach for this often in the fall and winter."

— Amanda L. (5/5)

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!"

— Chris H. (5/5)

Unique and gorgeous purple

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)
