Step 1: Nail Prep
Remove oils and lotions by scrubbing each nail with a lint-free pad soaked in Nail Prep.
Tip: Always use a new pad for each hand.
Step 2: Base Coat
Apply two coats to each nail, allowing each layer to dry.
Tip: if cloudy or jelly-like, place the bottle in 1 inch of hot water until clear. Use ¾ inch for Minis. *Do not microwave or fully submerge.*
Step 3: Lacquer
Apply two coats of your favorite color, allowing each to dry.
Step 4: Top Coat
Apply one layer to each nail after the Lacquer has dried matte. Wait five minutes. Your manicure is done!
+ Revive
Add Revive to thickened Nail Lacquer, Top Coat, or Transform.
Tip: Use 6–8 drops for Full-size, 3–4 for mini-size bottles.
Important: Do NOT add to Base Coat—it will damage the product.

"This is the BEST system for my nails. I was skeptical because usually my nails resist anything. But I decided to jump in for the starter kit. I figured it wasn't any more than a manicure so if it didn't work, oh well. 18 days in I have to tell you I'm very impressed. Most of my nails just show a little wear at the tips. One of my nails did break yesterday so that is when I stopped the clock. I may put on another coat of lacquer and top coat and see how long it will go."
"Love this kit. I especially enjoy the smaller brushes. My hands can shake a little doing precision work, and with the larger brushes, varnish can go everywhere. But the smaller brushes are wonderful! My varnish also lasts the seven days I want it to last so I'm very happy with this system."
"Not knowing how effective Dazzle Dry would be on my problem nails, I decided to order a mini kit including Transform as way of introduction to give the products a try before making a large investment. I first used the kit with two weeks ago and was very pleased with the smooth finish and long lasting results. I also purchase to small bottles of color but have only tried one. I was impressed with the quality of the polish. Removal, which I just did, was very easy. I felt my nails seemed stronger and definitely longer. I am using another product now for one week which promises to assist with my split nails and then I will try the complete Dazzle Dry system a second time."
"I am a nurse in the operating room and constantly using alcohol-based hand sanitizers and washing my hands. I bought “Gratitude” (an eggplant purple) with the mini starter set. I have to say this polish impressed me so much, I ordered more. I had it on for 2 weeks and the only reason it came off is because I took it off to try one of my new colors. I highly recommend this product to anyone who doesn’t like their polish chipping within a few days!!!"
"My social media feeds have been full of nail polish ads for months, and I finally made the leap to try Dazzle Dry after seeing many recommendations. I work in healthcare, and frequent hand sanitizer use usually wrecks my nails in a single shift. Gel lasts, but it leaves my nails brittle and peeling. Dazzle Dry truly dries in 5 minutes. The whole process takes probably 10 minutes (nail prep, 2 base coats, 2-3 color coats, and top coat). I did my nails before a vacation, and they survived 5 days of constantly being in the pool. I’m on day 8 and with a refreshed top coat, they look as good as they did on day 1."
"Turned out nice! The whole system has like 8 steps/layers which I don't have a ton of patience for lol, but I like this as a gel alternative when I have the time. I'm hard on my hands and they definitely lasted 8-ish days without chips or lifting. And easy to remove with regular nail polish remover. Glad I tried this at a salon and can replicate at home."
"Can't believe how much money I've spent and the UV damage I've put my hands through on gel manicures. This is so easy to use, dries so fast, super forgiving as you get better at doing your own nails!"
"Worked like a charm! Loved it and can’t wait to do my nails again! So far, 7 days and no chipping! I even cleaned, did the dishes and washed my hair twice this week!"
"I had a great experience with this starter kit! It was my first time trying dazzle dry and I used disco queen as the color. It lasted super long and dried so nice and fast. Excited to see how this system pairs with the other shades I purchased as well. Fingers crossed it lasts as long!"
"I’m so pleased with how this system works!!! My nails are always done to perfection! And I’ve ordered lots of other colors!!"
