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

Love Mauve!

"This is my go-to color! I'm a devoted Dazzle girl. The picture is actually "Picking Peonies" which is a new color I love too. It's a little more pink than Mauve but both work for my skin tones. I did this manicure well over a week ago and it's still looking good! Thank you VB Cosmetics!"

Laura P. (5/5)

Perfect neutral pink

"Now because of dazzle dryer, I get to decide what types of colors I’m using. From many years I just subsisted on sheer and clear because my nails just didn’t look good or the color didn’t stay on. I like alternating something bright for a week or two and then something neutral Ish for a week or two. This is one of my neutrals. I appreciate your people who uploaded photos that helped me select some colors so here you go!"

Wende (5/5)

Love it!

"Love the color and the consistency! I’m a gardener, and this didn’t chip until I got really down in the dirt. And even then, my nails looked better than they ever have before. This stuff is the best!"

Rebecca F. (5/5)

Such a lovely pink!

"Another mauve winner for my collection. Classic, understated yet polished. I got so many compliments when I wore this polish."

Caitlin M. (5/5)

Great product

"Polish never lasted more than a day or two. When my manicurist used dazzle dry it lasted a month! Love this product!"

Cheryl F. (5/5)

Layer with Prima Ballerina = perfect nude

"If you layer this one with Prima Ballerina you get the perfect medium nude shade!"

J (5/5)

Great name and color

"Great in between color for a hint of spring. Love the name too!"

Kerri S. (5/5)

Good but not favorite shade

"I normally love mauve but I think this shade doesn't work well for me. It looks too close to the color of my normal nail bed, so I feel like it makes me look a bit ill. Maybe it'll be better for my toes in the summer. Formula dried quickly like every other Dazzle Dry shade I've tried so no complaints there."

Hayden R. (4/5)

Nice neutral color

"Nice neutral color"
