Dazzle Dry Mini Kit 4 Step System - Heart's Caress, a medium dusty rose. Full coverage cream. (5 Piece Kit / 5 Manicures)

Rarely write a review, but this product is worth every penny! Easy to use. Video they share makes it clear how to follow steps with precision. My nails are done and DRY in a half hour, and best of all they last over a week! I’ve stretched it to two weeks with the only obvious sign it’s time to redo being my nail growth. And they are durable! I’ve cleaned, painted, gardened etc with no chipping! Can’t say enough good things! One note, polish is slow to remove with regular polish remover, just takes more time to come off.

I liked the simple steps and dry time (a few minutes)- it took no longer to apply than traditional base, color and top coats. It definitely wears longer and is a very hard finish. Shiny too!. I have had it on for 4 days so far with no chipping. The color I bought is very pale pink -almost white - and I am not very good at applying it, so I can see all the spots and some streaks where I missed. I wish I had someone else to do it for me since my left hand is not adept. That is the only reason I would not buy this again to use on my hands. I cannot do it perfectly. You have to get it right in the 2 color coats, or you’ll see some spotty places because the paint color dries very quickly. I do recommend this for someone who is adept at painting their own nails well. Last it is VERY easy to remove. I used acetone and it came right off. I painted toenails, too. That was easier because I can use my right hand so the toes look nice! I suggest trying this mini kit which I paid $38. It was worth the trial.

I am a Dazzle Dry convert. I love the look of gel nails but rarely have time to get them done and then have them soaked off. I use high-end nail brands like Chanel, Deborah Lippmann, etc., but even with a quick-drying topcoat, I had to be very careful. With Dazzle Dry, you get the gel nail look, and your nails are rock-hard within minutes. I recently came back from a trip where I was washing my hands frequently and playing in the sand with my kid. My nails held up for over 7 days. I'm switching all my polishes to Dazzle Dry!

Ok I have a lot to say about this... Let me start by saying, I found this brand through a TikTok video. I saw quite a few people raving about how great the nail polish was. With a key characteristic that it was long lasting. Just a little back story - I don't really like getting my nails done and when I do, I always have a terrible experience and my nails never last. So, when I came across this brand, I was super intrigued. I watched videos upon videos of people's experience with this product and finally decided to purchase this kit.Initially, it was great it would last at least 4-5 days for me which was more than most of my manicures ever lasted. It also looked like a professional manicure, and I did it in the comfort of my own home. After using it for a couple weeks I decided I wanted a few other colors and ordered 3 other full size polish bottles. I liked it so much that I began telling all my friends and family about how great this brand was and naturally everyone started buying it as well. I had even planned to buy my friend a full-size kit for her birthday.That was until my nails began to break consistently - I initially purchased the kit back early February and all was going well. I would paint my nails and after a week or so I would do it again without any issues. I even painted my mom's nails pretty consistently. However, approximately 2-3 weeks ago my nails and my mom's nails started breaking, prior to this they were long, strong, and super healthy. They started to get super flimsy and soft and would break no matter how short they were. They also started breaking in layers and my most recent break went through the middle of my nail taking some skin and it's still quite painful.I am not one to write reviews, and when I do, they are not this detailed. However, because the brand doesn't allow you return the product, I felt this was necessary. If I had noticed that they don't allow you to return the items I most likely won't have bought them in the first place. I thought this was the point of Amazon, you have easy returns. I don't think Amazon should allow companies to sell if they don't have the same return policies as Amazon.Anyways - You have been warned... your nails will be destroyed after using this for a couple of months.

Updated after adding the ridge filler to the system: I've added one star since my initial review. I purchased the Dazzle Dry ridge filler component and my 2nd manicure is holding up better. I'm on day 4 and it's in pretty good shape. The ridge filler improved the overall look and it appears more "gel" like. It also gave better coverage with 2 coats of color. Wish the ridge filler were part of the starter kit.Can't get gel manicure so looking for an alternative that looks as good and lasts as long. Sadly, this system does neither. Pros: easy to apply and dries very quickly. The brushes have a good shape so they contour the nail well and seem good quality. Cons: It takes 3 coats of color for the lighter shades and coverage is streaky without it. I can overlook that. Worst is that it starts chipping after TWO DAYS! This after following each step meticulously. Purchased the ridge filler separately and did first manicure without it. Now, I'm sorry I ordered another component of the specialty system that overall doesn't deliver. I'll keep using it as much as possible until the mini sizes run out but will have to look for another option. 2 days isn't worth the hassle.
