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.

"I love this little set. So far my manicures are lasting 10 days, which is impressive for how much I work with my hands. I absolutely love the brushes, dry time, and smooth application. Never going back to acrylics or the nail salon again!"
"I am enjoying my new started kit - it was super easy and a quick process. I did also purchase the mini Fast Track Cherry polish as well. It came out beautifully! However within 24 hours I could see the white end of all of my nails which was annoying at first. But over the week it didn’t get any worse and the shine and color have stayed true. For that, I’ll take it! I wash my hands a ton and am pretty hard on my nails so this has been a win for me. I can’t wait to get the regular size kit as well as some more colors. Thank you Dazzle Dry!!"
"I absolutely love the Dazzle Dry nail system! It’s so easy to use, and the biggest bonus is how quickly it dries. I can do my nails before bed and not wake up with those annoying sheet marks or smudges!"
"This product line came up as a recommendation in my FYP from a fellow medical student as a good option for healthcare workers and my curiosity won out. I’m so glad it did! I’ve never been happier with my home manicures before, by FAR. They go on quickly, last FOREVER, and are absolutely stunning. I’ve since bought full size bottles and plan to gift these minis to my little sister who also works in healthcare. I have also given away all my non dazzle dry polishes because I can’t imagine ever picking them up over this system. I’ve followed the instructions exactly each time and my nails have turned out wonderful and lasted a long time."
"I wanted a manicure that dried fast and didn’t chip for at least a week. The mini kit was an easy way to see if this would work without a crazy high investment cost. And it totally delivered! No chips for 7+ days, though I’m hard on my hands and the tips wear away a bit. But as long as I have a light color on, it’s barely noticeable unless I’m really concentrating on looking for it. So far I’ve gotten 6 manicures out of my mini set. The item that seems to be used most quickly is Step 1 Nail Prep. I’m about halfway through the bottle and that is probably what I will need to buy first in full size. The best part is no damaging UV light to set and no drill tools needed for removal. It goes on easily and comes off easily with just basic nail polish remover. It’s inexpensive and easy enough that I’ve made it my Sunday night self-care ritual. Now I can start my week with confidence!"
"Love the color, love the process, but I sent an email within the first hour of receiving my order to let you know that it arrived with the bottle open. I asked for you to send a replacement bottle, but still have not heard back. Please let me know how to proceed. Thanks!"
"I bought this kit and one color to test out the Dazzle Dry method and I was absolutely blown away! I am terrible at doing my nails. I like them super short, I use my hands all day, I don't have the patience to let them dry, I paint outside the lines or get streaky nails, and have super sensitive skin that has been irritated by gel, acrylic, and nail glue in the past. I bought this kit as a last resort really looking to see if there was anything out there that would work for me. This kit solved all of those problems! If I can get great nails from this, literally anybody can! It lasts over a week, the products all dry almost instantly, I have no streaks, the polish kind of flows together so it stays on your nail and doesn't leave indents, and I didn't have any marks from half wet nails. If you think more steps will take you longer... think again. This stuff dries so fast. Rating this a 10/10 and I'm a harsh critic!"
"I am thrilled that I found I can Dazzle Dry at home! I have given myself two manicures that have been far better than at my local salon. The KEY is allowing 5 minutes between each application which I know the salon wasn’t doing!!!"
"Great way to try out Dazzle Dry. So far love the kit has what I need. The ridge filler is a bit of a nuisance, another step I may do occasionally. Also got a few minis. Has lasted well on my nails. I find myself skipping my regular polish and reaching for DD!"
"I'm a jiu-jitsu teacher and student, so my days are filled with activities that absolutely destroy my nails. It's been some time since 'i started looking for this kind of product. Abolutely love it"
