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

Deepest wine

"Oh my love. Merlot is the deep wine of my dreams. It does look like black at a glance yes. But this is my favorite deep color. I love bold and midnight express is incomparable. But this is so moody and u can see a purply shimmer in the sunlight. So good on toes. As always, this polish fully dries in 5 minutes tops. Application is easy on this on, removal definitely stained my hands but it will come off in the shower tomorrow. ."

Love Love Love Dazzle Dry

"I love this color I have applied it 2 separate times and was impressed with quality the shine and the drying time I never had a manicure dry so fast and last so long one of the applications lasted two weeks. I have already ordered 4 more colors and cannot wait to use them"

Stana J. (5/5)

Love the polish

"I am so glad my manicurist recommended Dazzle Dry. I love this product! This polish truly does not chip. I have already told my friends about how great the polish looks!"

Stephanie C. (5/5)

Deep color

"Long lasting, true color description. Started to recede from edge after about 7 days but still stayed intact but not as shiny."

Mildred B. (3/5)

nice

"such a nice, vampy red, similar to the cherry mocha look"

Jenifer F. (5/5)

Beautiful!

"Everyone thought they were professionally done!!"

Erica A. (5/5)

Looks Black

"This was not a good color for me. The first coat I put on looked black. Instead of applying a 2nd coat of the Merlot, I applied a coat of Spiced Plum over the Merlot. In my opinion, that made it workable for me and a very pretty color. Maybe I’ll try the Merlot again another time - just wasn’t in the mood for a blackish looking color today."
