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

Gorgeous vampy color

"I have not yet finished my mini bottle of Zest but I went ahead and got the full size anyway. It's a deep vampy red but in some light you see the brown undertones, I was so surprised at how great this looked with my cool-toned skin."

— Jill D. (5/5)

I like the color and

"I like the color and the system in general but I wanted it to be durable. The color starts fading from the tips of my nails after a few days."

— Ximena G. (3/5)

Rich deep color blending maroon & slight chocolate

"This is not a gimmicky nail system. It drys within a couple mins. I have decided to test 4 of the five colors side by side. I only applied the lacquer color for comparison and am certain it will look better after implementing the full system. Pinky - Strawberry macaroon - 4 coats. Ring finger A clean slate 2 coats. Middle finger - Zest 3 coats. Pointer finger - I did a French Manicure with A clean slate for the tips 2 coats and strawberry macaroon 2 coats. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! My pic is only step 3 lacquer. It does not have the any other coats (base/top coats). I used the full system last Sunday and although the edges felt like they were thinning out they didn’t. I also failed to cap the tips. I also was too excited to wait a full week to try my other colors but they didn’t chip or peel. I’m sure as I get used to the system I will get better at it. The pic with the full complete set is the color, So on pointe implementing the full system including Transform ridge filler. I will be buying more colors!"

"The color and formula is just beautiful ❤️ 😍"

Love the product-miss Essie colors

"I love that this is a healthy option to a gel polish, that its so easy to remove and I can leave dry after 5 minutes! The polish lasts 5-7 days and rarely chips (im very active with my hands). I will say that I have 20 polishes and in the red/brown and white category I’m Often purchasing colors that are so similar it’s hard to tell they are different (make sure you view the video-also you need a new nail model!) and at this point im looking forward to new colors. I often see other people with great new browns and nudes and dazzle has some work to do in colorways-the current colors are all a bit off. I’m going to see if I can use Essie color with the top and bottom coat to see if I can get same results until dazzles colors are competitive and beautiful like Essie and opi."
