I love that I can just use regular nail polish remover to take it off at home if I’m not able to get to the salon to get them redone. Sometimes I can stretch it out to 3 weeks. How long does it last?įor me it lasts ~ 2 weeks – sometimes a little longer but my nails are usually pretty grown out by then. You can read more about their efforts here. The company is also committed to being socially and economically responsible by eco-conscious materials, such as biodegradable packing peanuts. I can leave the salon with my shoes on (even closed toed shoes!) and not have to worry about it smudging or chipping. It goes on like regular nail polish but unlike regular polish it dries super quick. The quick-drying part is AMAZING – I can put my shoes back on after getting a pedicure, which is just so nice when you’ve got something after your appointment! Also, no UV light necessary to set or dry. It is non-toxic (which was particularly appealing to me while I was pregnant!), vegan, long-lasting and quick drying. The system includes nail prep, base coat, color and top coat. I LOVE Dazzle Dry!! What is Dazzle Dry?ĭazzle dry is a unique 4 step nail system that is built to last. But it was still a hassle to soak and do all that jazz at home.Īll this to say, when I first found out about dazzle dry and that you could take it off like normal polish AND (!) it claimed to stay on as long as gel, I had to give it a try! And I will now never go back to gel or dip. And then I hated that I couldn’t take it off myself at home. The only part I didn’t love was the UV rays necessary to harden the polish – my hands already look old. I then got gel on my nails for 3 years and it worked well for me.

Over the course of 2 months, the rashes and skin irritation slowly dissipated! I’m not sure if it was specifically because of “acrylic” but I do know that switching to gel helped. She suggested I switch to gel and see if the rashes went away. I went to see a dermatologist who said it might be an allergy to the acrylics or something in the dip powder I was using. It was gross and hurt too! It then spread to dry, irritated skin on my face and eye lids. And eventually, with time, my skin got really itchy and started bleeding – I even got some blisters too. If you were following, you might have seen me share about it, but basically the skin surrounding my cuticle and nail area on my fingers got really, really dry. I religiously got dip powder for several years until one day I started getting this crazy skin reaction back in 2018.

I loved how they made your nails feel thicker and I would get zero chips for weeks! Plus, it just looked good. Why I made the switch from gel manicures:

Like, it brings me so much joy in such a small, simple way.
