Something that made me so sad when I switched to clean beauty was finding out how bad for you gel nail polish was. I tried non toxic nail polish but the look wasn’t the same, and the chipped really fast, so I abandoned all hope. That is, until Dazzle Dry brought the joy back to my nails!
If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know that I am obsessed with Dazzle Dry. It is just so unbelievable that such a nail polish exists. Fast drying, vegan, non-toxic, no light needed, no chipping…do I need to say more?
about the brand
Dazzle Dry is based out of my neck of the woods Chandler, AZ (this is a complete coincidence). It was created by a bio-organic chemist that after seeing how harmful conventional nail products were she wanted to create something different. The result, an amazing nail system free from harmful chemicals, animal byproducts, and animal testing, that is long lasting and quick drying. And when I say long lasting I mean 2 weeks, or more. Usually I have to remove it because of my nails growing but never because it has chipped. I even have trimmed my nails with it on and it doesn’t break. Boom!
the nail system
The Dazzle Dry Nail System consists of 4 steps.
- The Nail Prep. Cleans the nail plate while moisturizing and adding calcium and vitamin B5. It promote longer-lasting manicures.
- Base Coat. Helps keep polish to last longer, you need 2 coats of this baby.
- Nail Polish. You get to choose the color from their super rainbow of variety they have. I usually do 3-4 coats, they dry so fast, I do this in no time.
- Top Coat. Non-yellowing top coat that provides high gloss and protection against abrasion. It dries so freaking fast and the sheen lasts until you take it off.
Aside from the system, they also have other products such as:
- Remove. Acetone based gentle, non-drying formula for easy nail polish removal. Infused with lemongrass and clove oils. This is the first acetone product I try that smells good! I can be removing my nail polish next to my husband without him complaining of the smell.
- They also carry a non-acetone nail polish remover that I haven’t tried but it is made with spearmint and eucalyptus oil, that sounds relaxing.
- Revive. This is used to restore the consistency of the top coat and nail polishes. This is so useful for when they start to get thick and helps you extend the life of your nail polishes! So genius!
- Transform Ridge Filler. This is a new addition used to smooth out imperfections on your nails. I do have ridges in my nails so this actually sounds very useful.
- Mattify Top Coat. You know that matte look that looks very cool? You can use this top coat to get that effect on your mani-pedi.
These are only some of them but they have many more on their website, I quickly checked the ingredients on the body butters and oils, and they seem to be pretty clean too, there’s only a few ingredients here and there that are not familiar to me, but I’ll make sure to check those out later.
my thoughts
I have used most of these products already and my collection of colors (or should I say neutrals) is growing! The system is super super effective and for the price of 2 visits to the salon, you can get it and do it right at home, while in your jammy-jams watching outlander, no need to make an appointment and sitting breathing all those toxic powders that linger in salons.
Another things I have found is such a pro for Dazzle Dry system is that you don’t need to buff the nails prior, so your nail doesn’t get paper thin no matter how often you do your mani-pedis. With all the good ingredients the system has I have actually noticed that my nails have been growing thick and strong again. That means no more breakage or pain guys, isn’t that awesome?
As for the colors, I feel they just have so many! I usually like to stick to neutrals and muted colors but they have pretty much anything you can imagine. They have something for everyone and even have some amazing shimmery colors.
still want the spa experience?
And if you prefer to have somebody else do the pampering and you just sit down and relax, there are spas that carry the Dazzle Dry line and you can find out if there’s one near you on their website’s Salon/Spa Locator, so you don’t need to compromise on that! But I mean, its 2020 and the weirdest year of them all and mostly we are just staying at home. But if you are reading this later and things have gone back to “normal” than yay!!
I discovered the brand last summer and ever since, I have enjoyed my doing my nails with the best nail system ever. I recommend it to everyone that asks me because it is such a great brand and products. And even though I am not a pro at doing my nails, I find it very easy to use and very hard to mess it up really. Since it dries so fast, the probabilities of me ruining my nails really comes down to near zero. It has been the perfect addition to my clean beauty cupboard and I will keep on adding new colors to my collection!
