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

Elegant and lovely

"This is one of my favorite shades, so versatile, elegant and lovely. I purchased a mini a while ago to try it out and I loved it and committed to a larger quantity. With some revive added to it, it should last until the last drop. The packaging is really nice. My mother-in-law was able re-send it via ground to Hawai'i. I do wish DD would be able to send products directly to HI. I am glad the packaging is really nice."

Dol G. (5/5)

Doesn't last

"I love Dazzle Dry, but find that some shades last much longer than others. This one chips within a day or two, especially if I use revive on it. I bought a full size of this and a mini of hearts caress - I much prefer HC's shade and formula."

Jess (3/5)

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)

Longevity is the same as a drugstore polish

"While I liked the color and followed the steps with all the products, the polish didn't last 24 hours without chipping. The same thing happened with an at-salon experience vs at-home. It definitely dries almost instantly, but unfortunately, with the longevity being the same as a drugstore nail polish, it does not justify the price tag for me."

Carla I. (2/5)

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)

I love this color on

"I love this color on its own and with Shapeshift over it!"

Lisa G. (5/5)

"Beautiful color, great product"

Kathleen S. (5/5)

Great Color and Great Nail Polish!

"My new favorite color!"

Megan K. (5/5)

Love the color, chips easily though

"I love the color but the nail polish chips so quickly."

C S. (1/5)

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!"
