DAZZLE DRY TV

What she does: Mary evaluates products related to beauty and health for editorial content and Seal approval. How long she's been at GHI: Since December 2008. You can find dazzle dry polish at and select salons and spas for $9 apiece, or $28 for the kit shown (nail prep, base coat and top coat). I'm definitely planning on using this time-saving product a lot in the near future. After wearing dazzle dry for a few days (with minimal chipping) I was able to remove it as easily as a regular polish and it didn't stain my nails at all. I was doing dishes in no time and didn't damage my nails. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the top coat provided incredible shine and dried in the promised five minutes. While matte nails are in vogue right now, I personally like my nails shiny, shiny, and more shiny. After applying the base coat and two layers of polish, my nails were dry almost immediately, which was impressive, but I was disappointed with the matte finish. With three different products to apply (and four coats, as I always use two coats of polish), I was doubtful that my nails would be dry in five minutes. My dazzle dry set included a nail prep lotion, base coat, polish (there are about 92 different shades to choose from), and a top coat. (I'm also klutzy, so there's always a good chance I'll knock my hands into something before my polish has dried.) When dazzle dry, a nail polish that claims to dry completely in five minutes, sent me a set of its nail polish system to try, I couldn't wait to give it a whirl.

I'm an antsy person and want to be onto my next activity as soon as possible. But the one thing that always bugs me about doing my nails is how long it takes for them to dry.

I love giving myself a manicure - it gives me something to do while I'm watching TV and saves me a lot of money.
