"Rich color for fall. I love that it is not just brown or rust but a more complex shade. Since it is dark, be sure to go over the tips of your nails or the wear will show earlier. Love the opaque colors the best! Hope for more opaques please :) I am a new customer and LOVE how fast these polishes dry. Well worth it as the frustration level to doing my own nails has gone down to zero!"
"I took my dazzle dry nail polish to a salon that uses dazzle dry because they did not have the color that I liked. Using my polish, they did my nails. After two weeks, I went back and had my nails done again. My nails became extremely dry and started chipping. This was done at a nice salon, and the prep, base and topcoat were all dazzle dry. The color was mine. What happened?"
"Bookworm is the perfect Fall color. The formula is so easy to work with and applies beautifully. It also looks gorgeous with Gleam as a topper!"
"I would describe it as a brownish cranberry. Coverage was very nice. Tried a few nails dotting with Paperback with my new dotting tool. It created a subtle polka dot design perfect for me :)"
"A very pretty brown with a great formula and application. I gave it 4 stars because the online photos led me to expect a bit more russet in the color."
"Bookworm was even prettier than I expected. Such a perfect Fall and winter color. Application was perfect. Definitely a great choice!"
"The color is beautiful! However I had a chip 36 hours after my manicure and a second chip the next day. I thought it was a fluke. Next manicure, same problem. I’ve been wearing dazzle dry exclusively for the last few years and this is the only paint I’ve had chip. Very disappointed. Only gave it a second star because the color is so great."
"Dazzle Dry is the ONLY polish I buy now. Bookworm is not a shade I would normally choose, but I’m so happy I did. It’s a perfect fall color, neutral, but cozy. It feels like it would compliment a variety of skin tones."
"Another great fall color. My daughter and I both loved this color when we tried it out and so many friends commented on how great it looked on us. It is dramatic, but cozy and is suitable for an evening out and for work or family functions."
"The color is chocolate/Fig and so beautiful for fall. My #1 color so far, but tune in for other fall delights."
