Reviews

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)

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)

The Best Base Coat

"One of the best base coats I've used. The drying was very quick so I could move onto the next step quicker than any other product I've tried. Dd products after one use of base coat, color, and top coat had my nails stronger and not cracking/breaking even under the nail polish like they were doing. Definitely one product I will be sticking by and one brand I'm recommending to everyone I know."

— Bernadette L. (5/5)

Must have!

"I’ve tried dazzle dry a few times when I get my nails done at the salon. Great alternative to gel! I love being able to remove it with regular remover and it honestly lasts longer than most gel manicures I’ve had without the damaging effects! Bottle arrived cloudy/gel-like but placing in hot water as recommended in the directions cleared it right up! Totally worth the investment!!!!"

— Stephanie W. (5/5)

Base coat

"The base coat is a necessary part of this polish system. The longest so far I've gone between new polish is 15 days so far, so it definitely works! I'm curious tho, after every new polish set I put on, after 2-3 days the very tips of my nails lose their color. BUT then there is no more polish loss, it stays on until I remove it with nail polish remover! I've read another review or two with this same complaint! I make very sure to follow the directions 100%, so not sure why it happens. Over all its an amazing product and my nails are SO long!"

— TORI W. (4/5)

"Love how the collection works! Truly is 5 min dry time with beautiful neutrals and fun vibrant colors. My current manicure is on day 8 and still looks great!"

— Kimberly (5/5)

love the long wear, hate the nail peeing

"i am one of those whose nails peel when I use the base coat so I have a love/hate relationshi with it. I've never had manicures that last as long as those I do with DD base coat - it's the secret sauce and that part I love. But I haven't yet found a way to avoid the peeling and I've tried every recommendation I've seen"

— SHARON J. (4/5)

Nice polish

"I like how quick this polish dries. However, it leaves kind of a fibrous residue on the nail even after removal. This isn’t a deal breaker for me but sometimes it does interfere with the next manicure. Love the length of it staying on."

— Joanne L. (4/5)

Dazzle dry is great!

"I love the Dazzle Dry System. Good for the body. Manicure lasts longer than any other system without chipping. Dries so quickly so you don't mess up your manicure."

— Earlene L. (5/5)

Smooth beginning

"This basecoat is easy to warm up to get to the right consistency. I’ve been using it for a few months now. It goes on very smoothly. It does not clumpy. It drives very quickly!"

— Chique C. (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?
