Dazzle Dry Update

Hey all!

So, for the past three weeks I have used Dazzle Dry nail polish as the base color for my stamping manicures.  I've used Dazzle Dry primarily because it dries so fast there's much less wait time between painting and stamping.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Dazzle Dry, it purports to last as long as a gel polish, dry rock hard in 5 minutes when you use all of their products, and doesn't contain nitrocellulose (which is supposed to be the ingredient that causes nails to yellow).  Sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, I can't attest to how long it lasts; I am color-fickle and need to change my color at least once a week.  I can, however, say that it does dry incredibly fast.  I'm not talking touch dry fast...I'm talking all layers of nail polish are dry so if I hit my nail against something there is no dent in the polish.

But the thing that I really wasn't all that concerned about turned into the biggest surprise.  Nail polish addicts like myself have resigned ourselves to slight discoloration on our nails.  It's the manicure way of life.  We slather on base coat to keep staining to a minimum, but sacrifice pink-looking nails for beauty in multiple colors.

It was only by chance that I noticed the difference in the portion of my nail that has grown out over the past 3 weeks.  You can really see a line of demarcation on my ring finger between pink and slightly dingy yellow. 


I am using a different nail polish brand this week and wanted to share this picture with you before I painted my nails.

Dazzle Dry collections (www.dazzledry.com) are still growing and don't have all the colors I would want yet and it is bit expensive to ship (around $11).  These nail polishes are $9 a bottle and I totally think they're worth it.

The website is not great for checking colors so here are a couple of swatches. Not to mention my last three posts are with Dazzle Dry colors as well. Forgive the blurriness but I think you get a good idea as to color.

As an aside, even if you don't buy any of their colors their Top Coat is the best I've found to use with any nail polish.

Wishing you amazing manicures,

Bevy of Nails
