The lemongrass acetone is great ! It doesn’t dry the nails. Great product.
A great product and it does last a long time on your nail and doesn’t chip. The only complaint I have is the high price which stops me buying a selection of colours

Made for Australian women who want salon-grade results at home — without UV lamps, fortnightly appointments, or chemical damage. Dazzle Dry is the air-dry polymer system used by professional nail technicians from the USA to Australia, New Zealand and beyond.
How the chemistry works
Not gel. Not traditional polish. A polymer that air-dries hard.
Gel needs a UV lamp to force a chemical cure. Ordinary polish lets its solvents evaporate, then chips within days. Dazzle Dry's proprietary solvent-evaporation polymer system does something different: as the solvent leaves, a professional-grade polymer matrix knits together and hardens in open air.
The colour sets hard in 5 minutes — with no UV lamp and no heat. Every product in the Dazzle Dry range is engineered to feed that same chemistry, whether it's the base coat, the top coat, the nail prep, or the removers and care formulas.
What this product does
Why BASE COAT earns its spot.
- ✓Engineered specifically for natural nails
- ✓Helps colour grip and last longer, with no UV lamp
- ✓Clean and free from harsh chemicals and endocrine disruptors
- ✓Vegan and cruelty-free — never tested on animals
- ✓Gentle and hypoallergenic on sensitive nails
A single salon visit in Sydney costs $50 to $80 — and gives you one manicure. Build the Dazzle Dry system at home and you'll cover dozens of manicures per product, on your own schedule, so each one costs a small fraction of a single salon visit.

Who made this
Invented by a bio-organic chemist. Not a marketing team.
Dazzle Dry began in a laboratory. Dr. Vivian Valenty earned her PhD in organic chemistry, and after seeing what conventional nail products were doing to women's nails, she set out to build a healthier system that still performed like a professional gel.
It took close to a decade of formulation work. She launched Dazzle Dry in 2007. Today the formula is proprietary and used by nail professionals around the world — and every product in the range still answers to the same bio-organic chemist who created it.
From women who built the routine
Three buyers. Three different reasons.
Verified reviews from across the Dazzle Dry range.
"Love the ridge filler, my nails have never felt stronger."
"I used this top coat (and base coat) without a Dazzle Dry nail polish and the results were fantastic! Much better than other brand top and base coats. My red Nail polish stayed on for over a week without any chips."
"Nail prep is really great to dispense and cleans your nails to make sure the nail polish finish will last for couple of weeks."

Before you ask
Questions, answered.
How to use BASE COAT
Base Coat is Step 2 of the Dazzle Dry system: Nail Prep → Base Coat → Lacquer → Top Coat. Important: never add Revive to Base Coat — it will ruin the product.
Why Dazzle Dry over gel or generic care?
Every formula in the Dazzle Dry range is engineered around the same proprietary polymer chemistry — designed to feed the system, not fight it. Generic care products mix unpredictably with that chemistry; Dazzle Dry's care formulas are built to work with it.
Conditions and strengthens the natural nail with use. Removes cleanly with the recommended Dazzle Dry remover. Vegan and cruelty-free. Allure Best of Beauty award winner.
Ingredients and what's not in it
Ingredients:
Isopropyl Alcohol, Aqua (Water), Polyurethane, Triethylamine.
Free from harsh chemicals
No harsh chemicals or endocrine disruptors.
How many uses per bottle?
Each Dazzle Dry care product is designed for repeat use across dozens of manicures — not single-use. A standard bottle typically lasts the average home user 3 to 6 months depending on application frequency.
Formulated for natural nails — not for use on acrylic or artificial nails.

Great Product, have used for past 12 months since changing from acrylics and I am extremely happy
A
A great way to protect nails and start the process.

Bought as a spare whilst on sale, but good product no staining or damage to my nails

Love to use the system. I've never managed to have nailpolish last more than 2 days, but with the system I only paint my nails once a week and they're pretty much perfect the whole week between painting them. Love them so much! Saves me so much time going to nail salons and sitting around for 1+ hours getting gel nailpolish.

I used this base coat (and topcoat) without a Dazzle Dry nail polish and the results were fantastic! Much better than other brand top and base coats, my red Nail polish stayed on for over a week without any chips. I am now buying some Dazzle Dry nail polish!
A
My nails are still recovering from press-ons. So I haven’t used the system yet but I’m very excited to in about months time!!
M
This is the holy grail of the system. Two coats works best to keep your mani lasting up-to two weeks. I always heat mine up before using, but always let it cool down back to room temperature before using. I find I get shrinkage if applied when the formula is still too warm.
T
The base coat arrived cloudy. It needs to be heated in an 2-3cm of hot water for five minutes each time I've used it. It seems to work fine, no issues so far!
J
Love Dazzle dye would never go back to SNS
D
Game changer!
Dare I say first world problem life changer - at least from a nice looking nails perspective.
Quick, easy - FAST drying, LONG lasting.
As someone who would never do Gel or SNS (been there done that and have wrecked my nails for months), before Dazzle Dry, I would only use normal nail polish, but this was always a problem due to drying time, inevitable damage to the finish before they dried properly, too much time waiting for them to dry and then of course, normal nail polish only lasts a few days. Dazzle Dry solves all of the above. I wish I had known about it sooner. And the customer service by the Australian business is VERY good. As I said, a genuine game changer!
B
Great quality product. Fast shipping too.
