Since receiving my first Dazzle Dry bundle, it has been the only polish I’ve reached for - mainly because of how quickly it dries (I’m talking being able to go to the gym and lift weights 10 minutes after being painted without any issues), how clean the ingredients are, and how strong my nails have felt over time. In other words? No filing, soaking, or drilling necessary. Though Dazzle Dry paints on like a traditional polish and dries similarly to a gel formula (sans the harsh UV lights to set), Dazzle Dry is easily and quickly removable with an acetone or non-acetone remover. those with compromised immune systems, people undergoing chemo/radiation, or pregnant women who are concerned with limiting their exposure to endocrine disrupting ingredients.” It’s Super Easy To Remove Silva Nahabedian, their Director of Education, shares a bit more: “Dazzle Dry is free from harmful chemicals and skin-sensitizing ingredients such as toluene, formaldehyde, TPHP, nitrocellulose, camphor, formaldehyde resin, ethyl tosylamide, phthalates, xylene, and MEK. TBH, I was a bit skeptical that a nail polish that dried this fast could be clean - but Dazzle Dry really does the impossible. And as a final step, the clear Top Coat locks in your polish and creates that gel-like finish for a truly chip-free manicure, while adding the most luxe, diamond-like shine.

The third step is the Nail Lacquer, which is a creamy and pigmented formula that dries within seconds.

Next up, the Base Coat is a clear polish layer that glides on evenly and smoothly, acting as the perfect foundation. The Nail Prep is the first step, and is a liquid consistency (best used on a cotton pad or paper towel) that creates a clean slate for the polish.

What I Don’t Love: The entire system is definitely an investment, but IMO, it’s worth the splurge.ĭazzle Dry’s innovative system consists of four steps that work in unison to create stronger, thicker, healthier nails that last.

What I Love: The polishes have made my nails healthier, and they completely dry in about a minute or less.

Best For: Salon-quality manicures for girlies who don’t have time to sit and wait for their nails to dry.

Price: $85 for a full-sized kit, $38 for a mini-sized kit.

Luckily, being a beauty writer means I get to try all of the buzzy brands on the market, and while there are quite a few standouts I’ve seriously loved, Dazzle Dry has quickly become a hero brand that makes my routine impossibly quick and actually enjoyable (instead of mindlessly waiting for what seems like hours to let my nails fully dry, and still getting unwanted dings and fingerprints throughout the day).Ī super quick drying time is undoubtedly my fave thing about their impressive formulas - but I’ve also noticed how strong my nails feel and just how clean the ingredients are. And like anyone who has been on a similar journey, you know it can take months to let your nails fully recover. With that - I’ve been on a serious mission to heal my nail beds and make them strong again after the constant damage, while still indulging in some at-home manicures. After about two years of consistently getting pricey Gel-X manicures with extra-long tips at the salon for the many events leading up to my wedding, I’ve taken the last few months as a newlywed to let my nails (and wallet) have a bit of a rest.
