My Dazzle Dry manicure process

- Опубліковано 15 лип 2023
- Join me for the premiere and I'll show you my updated manicure process that I've been doing for the past year using @DazzleDryOfficial.
Today's video is a bit different for my channel, but I get a lot of questions about my nails and today I'm sharing what I've been using since 2022. I can't go back to any other brand after seeing the results for the past 13 months! This is a more expensive brand, with a lot of steps, which may not be for everyone! But I will not go back to regular polish. The results are that good.
Note: You do not need two coats of Transform! Since filming this video, I just do one now. It's plenty to get that very smooth look!

Love love Dazzle Dry ❤ I started using it in February and I love that my mani is good for a week . I garden , golf , craft and wash dishes and it still lasts ! Thank you Cathy for introducing me to it ❤
Love to hear that!
I LOVE Anna. Have followed her since January. Love that she knows the science and reasons behind what she teaches. Once you know about the terms "proximal and lateral folds", hearing folks call them "cuticle" really makes you squeemish. As a beginner at doing self-mani's in January, I found I liked the suggestion to pain your thumb last on each hand. It really helps me not worry smudging it on on my other hand when i'm painting. You have really nice long nail beds. Beautiful!!
Totally agree! Anna really did change my approach to natural nail care!
Cathy, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for introducing us to The Salon Life and to the Dazzle Dry System! I have NEVER been able to keep nail polish from chipping drastically after one or two days, even with a base and top coat. That says a lot…I’m 69.
I tried The Dazzle Dry System and have had the polish on for 6 days and no chipping! The OTT light is great to use when I do my nails, I craft almost every day and I intentionally did not use gloves when I clean just to test out this system. It works like a charm.
I have also been keeping up with using oil on my nail everyday and it’s really helps the dryness I used to have with the skin around my nails.
Judy from Arizona. 😊❤️🐾🌵
Judy, it's great stuff, isnt it? And Anna at @thesalonlife is fabulous!
I’ve watched this tutorial several times… I’m obsessed. 🤩. It’s so relaxing to watch and listen to you. You’re a great teacher. I used your links to order a full kit with the gorgeous blue called Checkmate plus your two favorite pink colors in the minis. I did my first manicure tonight and I think it looks great… like a gel manicure. I think it’s the two coats of Transform ridge filler. I’m hoping I will get a week’s worth of wear. I’m giving up gel nails because they haven’t been lasting 2 weeks for me and I can’t repair them until my next appointment. A regular manicure, even if professionally done, lasts 3-4 days. The very best part of this system is that 5 minutes after the top coat my nails were totally dry and hardened. 🎉🎉🎉. Thank you so much for sharing. This may be a game changer for me.
YESSSS! And I just painted Checkmate (which is now sold out!) this weekend. It is the BEST blue. I love, love this brand so much. The results speak for themselves!
Thank you for sharing your DD techniques! You are such an amazing teacher! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous nails!!❤❤
I love this video! I watch it every time I do my nails!
YAY BESTIE
Fabulous nails! 😍
Glad I found this video, as I was wondering how you had such a good manicure. Thank you for all the instructions.
Yay! Yes, I had used Olive & June for a number of years, but once I found this brand, I can't go back. It's pricey but oh so good!
Love that color!
Thanks! It's my favorite go to color!
I’m also a DD convert. It’s amazing!
Thank you!! Painted along with you for my first time using dazzle dry.
Wonderful! Here's to awesome manis that last!!!
Such a thorough walk-through, Cathy! I love your process!
Just picture me normally sitting in a bathroom. hahahah!
@@czdesign Just as cute and perfect!
You manicure like a pro! Well done ❤. Your Dazzle Dry tutorial is 100% on point. Thank you for sharing the love.
💕✨Silva
Thank you so much 🤗 I'm so glad you saw it.
OMG! I am SO glad that you made this video! I love that you provide so much information and I really appreciate the time you spent creating and editing this video. Can’t WAIT to try this product! I’m going to use my OTT light when I do my manicure!😂🐾❤️🌵
Yes! Judy! that light will give you the best view! I will i had an Ott light in my bathroom! hahah
@@czdesign I am really looking forward to trying this system. I just placed an order using your link. I always do my own manicures but have an issue with products chipping overnight. I’m hoping this system helps! 😊
Love the walkthrough of your process, Cathy! I just recently started using DD and I am in love with the results. I was a long-time O&J user, and I was excited to take the plunge into DD for the chip-resistance. I actually like the additional steps compared to having to wait what felt like forever to feel sure my nails were dry. I haven't tried the transform yet, but I am definitely going to give it a go now that I've seen it in action!
See, that was the thing… i just got tired of waiting SO long for the O&J to fully dry, especially with the pale pinks, which I had to do three coats to get them opaque. Plus, I had this issue in the summer… where no matter what i did, the manis with O&J were not smooth. So odd. I really did know how to use their polish!
HI Cathy and everyone! I used Dazzle Dry for the first time last week after watching Kristina’s video.
I only just found your channel, and timing may have been perfect! I was about ready to give in and just go for gel manicures (even add extensions) something I swore I would never go back to, but I am so tired spending the time doing my manicure only to have it chip within a day.. I'm all about the health of my nails, and started doing my own manicures during covid, (but still enjoy my bi-monthly pedicures:) looking forward to trying this product!
Yes! It is seriously an amazing product, at least for me! It takes a bit of time to get the hang of it… you know, having to warm up the base coat at first seems like just one more step, but… the lack of chips is crazy! My daughter just did her first Dazzle Dry mani and was shocked at the results. I will very likely not paint with another brand again. OH, and it does not stain your nails at all!
Okay, your nails are goals! I was a chronic nail biter as a kid and young adult. That has gotten better but my cuticles and nail folds are in rough shape. I think I'm going to get the products you use and see if I can rehab my nails!
Take your time… I would highly recommend using a nail oil every day, a few times a day. I love the Dazzle Dry one, but honestly, a big old bottle of plain jojoba oil is great, too! And that Maxus nail butter! good stuff.
I love the salon life!
Isn't she the best? I have learned so much from Anna!
@@czdesign me too! I was literally just watching about peeling nails from frequent hand washing. I keep a bottle of oil by the sink now. I like you find a home manicure relaxing, it’s a favorite self care ritual.
Cathy your nail base is beautiful. I always get my nails done from my salon. But I am for sure going to give this a try.
Mani/pedie are really expensive......so I can't wait to try dazzle dry. 🤩
You can do it!
Looking forward to this video Cathy.
Hate that I missed the Live Premiere (blasted remodel project had to return & get the correct tool) I did watch & have the confidence to do my nails when my products arrive. Thank you for doing step by step demo in simple to follow directions.
I learned sooo much from Anna too!! Thank you for this elaborate walk through. I wish Dazzle Dry was available in Europe...
Thanks for sharing this. I’m not a polish girl, but I want to be. Might have to give this a try. 😊
You should!
Very pretty!
Thank you! 😊
I got so frustrated going to my local nail salon...long wait times, lots of dollars! I bought the Dazzle Dry system on your recommendation and it is FABULOUS! I am so happy with the system- quick drying time is worth every penny! My nails have never looked better!
I love it!
Love Anna! It was Kristina's video on dazzle dry that made me a fan! Thanks for this video! Love all your content!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Cathy, my friend gave me DD for Christmas and I have been so happy- stopped going to the nail salon and after a few times I’m getting better. Love your video as I didn’t know what I didn’t know 😊
That is awesome!
Hello
New subscriber here!
Let me just say you have been a nail saving grace Lol😂
Ive been using DD for about 4 months and while I love it, my mani has not last as long as I'd hope for..longest has been about 3 days maximum before the chipping starts and that is with some capping of free edge, not for a long speech here but just want to say THANK YOU for creating this video because I was considering going back to gel which I dreaded the thought of doing, I will keep this video saved for reference being it has definitely been extremely detailed and helpful to see what Ive been doing wrong❤🌼🧡😊😊
I'm telling you, make sure you do all the prep and i always file the free edge of my nails every few days! Not only does it keep my nails at a length that I really like but it also wards off any potential chips!
Thanks so much for this video!! I ordered the mini starter just because I'm a nurse and use hand sanitizer alot and wanna see how long it would last. That's the real test lol . Thank you!! I will also order some stuff from your Amazon as well.
Well give it a try and see! Let me know what you think!
Finally got to watch this video after I got done playing around with my fairy/bonsai tree. 😉 I can vouch for Dazzle Dry. I can be impatient and this stuff is awesome. I do also like Londontown Lakur and Olive and June but I do find they have a strong odor compared to Dazzle Dry. Biggest difference I noticed was exactly what you mentioned, no yellowing of the nails. I also love Transform and use that with each manicure. I'm jealous of your collection! It's a good day when your polish matches your clothes. Lavender parade in the Whimsy Wonders mini flight is the exact shade of the Kohl's tank top that I just happen to wear today.🤭
It really is an amazing brand.
Hi Cathy! I too saw Kristina’s video and I shopped earlier this week but forgot Transform, so I ordered that today. Your nails look great. I was doing Dip manicures at a salon but in January my dip started flaking off and by the time I got it all off my nails were destroyed underneath. It has taken me until just recently to grow that damage out. Thank you for sharing with Kristina and for doing this video today.
Hope you like it!
I've been "dipping" too & contracted a fungus, so now my "nails", or what's left of some of them are all free of anything! But I have 3 nails that are so cracked/split that it will take months to grow out plus the fungus nail that looks beyond gross...hoping it recovers as it's nasty. All very upsetting. DD looks really interesting and promising...down the road. Actually, I like the clear look and will probably not add color polish...stick with the basecoat/transform...and I guess a top coat?
Thanks for this video. I'll check out KW's, too. My manicurist (when I go there) uses DD. Your nails look great.

I watched Kristina's video last night and am looking forward to watching yours before I buy. There's a few things I'm confused about so I appreciate you taking the time to demo & educate.
Happy to do it! I've wanted to do this for a while. Hope it's helpful!
So, Will you confirm I have the steps right? One basecoat, two transforms, another base coat?, two polish, one topcoat? Is this right or did I miss a step? Wait, five minutes after each transform?
I saw a video about dazzle dry a long time ago and tried to source in Canada but I never found anything. I gave up but I may try to find some in Vegas next time I go. I won’t have car in Vegas so it would need to be close to strip but I’ll definitely check around. One idea for you is try a polish corrector pen. I used years ago. Think better than using brush but as I haven’t tried brush clean up I’m not totally sure.
It was interesting to see what goes into making your nails look so fantastic. It's a lot of work, but it pays off. Your nails always look like you've been to a nail salon.
Thank you so much!
I love your nail tutorials Cathy. You turned me on to Olive and June a couple years ago. I think I'll try this now. I've had trouble with my nails peeling since I took off my acrylics at the beginning of the pandemic. Maybe this will help. Where did you get the little plastic holder for you squares. I have some of the lint free squares already.
Oh, that little friend came from a pack of lint free squares, maybe from Wal-mart? I ordered it online because i was looking for a holder that would work. It's called JZROCKER 200xLint Free Pads For Nail Art Wipes, but they seem to be out of stock. I use it to refill with the Hands Down wipes!
I’m really hoping this might address the biggest frustration I have with non-gel manicures: chipping during travel!
Yes! It really is a fantastic, almost no chip brand. I've been testing it (ie using it!) for over a year. As long as you prep properly, it's really quite amazing.
@@czdesign thanks! I just bought a mini laquer kit to get started (with lots of fall travel) - fully trusting you and eager to watch the video
@@Carrena0426 The Mini kits are a great way to go!
Thanks! Super helpful!! I placed an order before and an order after for more minis!
This works great, but is important to follow the prep process. I have switched and have been doing my nails for years, and have had the cosmetology training…
Great tutorial! I have been wanting to try DD for a while now. I am a nail technician and would love to use something that really works for natural nails, mine and my clients. Seems time consuming but I think it will be worth it. Your tutorial is actually better than other "professional" videos. Thanks for the great information💖💖💖
Glad it was helpful!
A little difference with DD is when each color coat dries, it is matte. The shine comes from the top coat.
Yes!
Thank you for your helpful video. I just started using Dazzle Dry (about 4 manicures in). I have been having some trouble with lifting on the sides of my thumb nails. At first I thought it was from flooding with acetone & brush when cleaning up but I was very careful with my last manicure and I had the same issue. Any tips?
Maybe be sure that when you use the Nail Prep, you really scrub well edge to edge on the sides or your nail plates. I always do the clean up along the edges, too! With acetone, as you saw in the video. Also, if it persists, contact Dazzle Dry. Sometimes they have better suggestions, too!
I've watched this video several times, and just did my first manicure (I forgot the base coat after the transform 🤨). I've never done my own manicures, so I'm excited to give this a try. I don't like the color I picked to go with the kit, so more are on their way! Just want to confirm that you use the Maintain oil on a daily basis?
p.s. I make cards, and I look forward to your videos - so fun, creative and informative!
Go you! And yes, i use it every day, many times a day! I wake up, put a drop on each thumb and then work into all the other nails. I do it mid morning. Lunch… evening while watching tv. I'm a tiny bit obsessed but boy, it keeps your manicure in tip top shape!
@@czdesign I don't see where to buy the Maintain Oil on the DD webstie
I’ve forgotten the base after transform and it’s worked fine. It’s ok, just saved you a step 😉
Great Video. :-)
Thanks for sharing Cathy. Can I ask if you have to let each coat completely dry before proceeding with the next? Maybe you said in the video and I missed. Thanks!
Yes, but they dry quickly. If you use the Transform, that must dry for a full five minutes before moving on.
Love your nails but I have a HUGE collection of Color Street from Covid. Can you use the main DD system and put CS on top before the top coat?
I have not tried mixing! But you totally could. I just would say you would not get the same results, maybe?
I've been looking for a “gym/weight lifting friendly” nail system that's not gel nails. This might be it for me! I polish ny nails 1-2 times a week and I always worry about messing up my nails at the gym even though I keep them short.
Well, I do all my own house cleaning, etc. and I rarely get chips! Although I do wear gloves when I'm washing dishes lol! It's really durable and you may only have to paint them once a week. My manicures last easily seven days and I get bored before I actually have to change my color.!
Love the video, great instruction on the Dazzle Dry system. The only negative on the video, please stop wiping the clean up brush on your hand to get the excess off, use a link free pad. Your skin will thank you.
Thanks for the tip! I know I should be doing that! Working to change that habit!
can i just put a top coat over the ridge filler? i actually love the color of the filler!
What I would do… put one more base coat OVER the ridgefiller… then top coat. The base coat is key to giving your top coat OR polish something to stick to!
Just found this video - thank you! Off topic question - what is the white board/mat you paint your nails on? The one with the lip? I can't tell which link it is.
It's the Waffle Flower Mini Mat!
I finally got a chance to finish watching your tutorial. I have ordered the system, although I started with the mini kits. Thanks for this. I do want to encourage you to use a paper towel or something to dab off your clean-up brush. The acetone is a harsh chemical and your skin is your largest organ absorbing all the acetone dabbed on it. I just worry about that.
Oh, yeah… I never think about that. It's just a habit! Good recommend tho.!
I have been painting my own nails since I was in 9th grade. So for a while now. My biggest frustration is bubbles. I'm going to give Dazzle Dry a try. Do you need to shake the bottles to mix the color? When you do your clean up with acetone, does it ruin the polish if you accidentally touch the brush to your painted and drying nail?
If you let the bottles sit for a LONG time, then yes, I would shake but most of them do not separate! And it usually does NOT mess up what I've already painted. Especially towards the end. I am always pleasantly surprised if i accidentally touch my clean up brush to the polish and it stays put! I get almost NO bubbles. And if bubbles start to appear, it means you need to add Revive to the polish. I just learned that from the director of education for DD!
A little tip…if you see bubbles in your Top Coat, it may need Revive. Also having good overhead lighting will help you see any air bubbles so that you can burst them while the Top Coat is still wet. ✨
Silvana??? It's YOU? I feel honored! Okay, good to know. I hardly ever put Revive in my top coat and yes to the overhead lighting. I normally do it in my bathroom under a clip on lamp light.
This brand has changed my life. Plus, I have watched all of your videos, as well, back when I was first starting out in the summer of 2022.
@@czdesign the honor is all mine. Thank you for your support and loyalty. I think it’s the best nail polish in the world but I may be a little biased 😝. The secret is finally out. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I wonder if you could use a fan to help it dry a bit faster between coats?
Dazzle Dry says not to use a fan, but… it dries SO fast on its own. The only one you need to wait on is the Transform Ridge Filler… that is five minutes and it's worth the wait.
@@czdesign thank you so much for your reply and so quickly I might add. I'm glad you replied because I was going to use one and I am going to do my nails today. Lol
Having familial tremors, I can do my own manicure if I go slow and stick to clear. If I want color, someone else needs to apply it. Your nails look lovely after the Transform. Could I use a Top Coat after this step and call it a day, or does the Top Coat only work with polish?
You can totally do the topcoat but put a layer of Base Coat on the Transform first. Then Top Coat.
@@czdesign Thank you for the quick reply. I'm on it!
Cathy, after filing nails, how do you remove any nail residue that clings to the backside of the nail? I also use the glass files.
I just wash my hands!
Or use a nail brush really quickly.
Hi Cathy! I've been so pleased with dazzle dry until I take it off. Acetone immediately makes my nails peel. I saw that dazzle dry offers a non acetone remover. Do you know if other non acetone removers work as well? Thanks!
Yes! I actually use Olive & June non-Acetone remover and it works great for me. I believe that Dazzle Dry has one too, but I didn't love the smell. It's got a lemongrass scent!
@@czdesign thanks so much! I will give it a try.
Hi Cathy I bought the small sizes of Dazzle Dry to try and it is as good as everyone says. The only problem I have with it is the price. I have always done my nails at home so it doesn’t save me money not going to a nail salon because I never have. Do you know if Dazzle Dry offers any discounts or coupon codes for money off?
I know they do sales from time to time! It is pricey, but I will tell you, the stuff does last. At the small neighborhood salon I went to a few times, it's $60 for a mani/pedi. And that is for one. So I figure, the system really does pay for itself, and it lasts longer than a salon mani.
Thanks, Cathy! Question, what's the green color you're wearing at the beginning?
Oh that is called… Coastal Wave!
@@czdesign thanks you! 😍
so a first time purchase would be the "color" system kit virtual bundle?
Yes, but I would recommend trying the Mini Kit first. You pick a color and the kit and then see what you think. It's an expensive brand so giving it a test is a good way to know if you like it!
Cathy Zielske, why did my base coat turn into gel?? What should I do?
You have to put it in in warm water. to get it clear.
This green is beautiful! What is it called?
It's called Coastal Wave, and it appears they discontinued it.
Just wondering if the ‘nail prep’ step is really just acetone remover?
They list the ingredients here: shrsl.com/4v57-30z3-lviuv1_1-1
It's the Isopropyl alcohol that stings!
Cathy, do they have products for dry brittle nails?
They have a wonderful nail oil called Maintain that I use daily. I am not sure if that would help, but it's a great product. They also have an oil called Mend. That might worth looking into!
Is Dazzle Dry a branch of Olive & June? I seem to remember you used that brand.
No, they are not related. And yes, I used Olive & June for a good four years and loved it, but I did get a bit tired of some of the issues I was having. Mostly chipping, and un-smooth manicures in the summer, which sounds weird, but the polish didn't settle well on my hands in warmer months. Maybe it was my body was too hot! lol. And it stained the heck out of my nails.
Oh, and the dry time. The dry time of Dazzle Dry is really really fast and the manicures last me over seven days with no chips.
Can you tell me the brand of nail tool you use?
Sure! I have all of the supplies listed in my description below the video. : )
Are the mini kits worth it to try for the first time
I think they are, because you may not want to do this system because of all the steps. I know a lot of folks who started with the mini system. i think you can get a handful of manicures out of them, too!
I started with the mini kit and it is a perfect way to try out the system! And the minis are a nice way to try out colors. Just be sure to clean the top of bottles off and close them tight.

Hi, what is the name of the pink polish you’re using? 🩷
Hey Gail, it's called Girlishly Giddy.
Which color is this?
Girlishly Giddy! the link is in my description under the video!
Hello! Where I get hands down Lint free wiped
Hi there! Check in my description box!
So if this was asked do you do this on your toes as well?
Sorry not so LOL
I do. And that is on for probably 3 weeks at a time.
Cathy your nails look great. Thanks for explaining this for us and showing us this process….Gotta check this out…love your colors also 🩷🩷🩷
I wonder if this would solve my two edge sword of being a nurse using alcohol foam multiple times a day and craft several times a week
You know, it would be worth a try. They sell mini kits… you get minis of the whole system but the brushes in the bottles are full size. You could try it out?
@@czdesign now that’s a good idea
I'm so sad they don't ship to Canada. I paid over $200 to get it shipped from a third party shipping company 😭
Oh no! That is so high!
Please
I just saw your video site for the first time today and thought it was very good, however…..I was always taught that you “ Paint Walls” and “Polish Nails”. Sounds more professional.
I've always said paint nails. Lol. Since I was a teenager!
Too many coat
I thought so too, at first, but once I saw the results… i was hooked!
Hi first time here. Also first time going to try dazzle dry nail polish. 🩷🩷🩷
Do you do the same process on your toes?
Sort of! On my toes, I just use Transform on my big toes, as they have the most surface area. So I do one base coat, one transform on big toes, one base coat again and then two coats of polish, followed by top coat! The pedi last three weeks or more!
