7-free, but what IS in your nail polish? 💅

Hello Beautiful Soul,

Have you heard nail polish brands touting that they are 7-free free, 12-free or non-toxic? If you're like most eco-conscious consumers, this probably sounds like a good thing -- and for the most part, it is.

Modern nail polish dates back to the 20th century and has its roots in the automotive industry. Which explains why early formulations contained the “toxic trio” of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde, and toluene. These compounds were designed to adhere paint on cars, not to be used on humans!

Thankfully, we have come a long way and most professional-grade polishes are now formulated to be much safer. However, nitrocelllulose is still used in multiple steps of every “non-toxic” brand except Dazzle Dry! This highly flammable film-forming polymer is the reason that nail polish causes your natural nails to turn yellow with prolonged wear.

Nitrocellulose is a highly flammable compound that is the main ingredient of modern gunpowder and used in some lacquers and paints.

Vivian Valenty, Ph.D. was the genius behind formulating Shellac™ long-wear polishes. However, she knew there must be a better, safer way to create the gel-like results you expect with the clean formula you deserve, so she started her own company and created Dazzle Dry.

Discover A Better Alternative:

It’s not a gel, not a hybrid and not a traditional polish. Dazzle Dry is a unique four-step system that delivers advanced performance without the use of harsh chemicals, allowing your nails to become healthier and stronger over time. Orange Poppy Spa is proud to be Boulder's only Dazzle Dry exclusive spa. 

Long-Lasting

When used as a system, Dazzle Dry delivers chip-free wear for up to two weeks. It delivers the long-lasting performance of a gel or dip system but removes with the ease of a traditional polish.

Quick-Drying

Enjoy wellness without the wait time. Dazzle Dry is the only natural nail care system to offer hard-set nails in just five minutes without exposure to hazardous UV lamps.

Nontoxic

Dazzle Dry is free from harmful chemicals and skin-sensitizing ingredients such as toluene, formaldehyde, TPHP, nitrocellulose, camphor, formaldehyde resin, ethyl tosylamide, phthalates, xylene, and MEK.

Humane

Dazzle Dry products are never tested on animals and are free of animal byproducts. Vegan alternatives replace common animal ingredients such as carmine, guanine, urea, stearic acid, lanolin, glycerin, collagen and beeswax that are found in many polishes.

Non-Yellowing

Unlike other high-performance polishes, Dazzle Dry does not contain nitrocellulose, which can cause nail plates to yellow and nail polish to degrade. Because of this, their products never expire and your nails never yellow.

Made in USA

All Dazzle Dry products are formulated, tested and manufactured at their headquarters in Chandler, Arizona. This means they can ensure that all Dazzle Dry products meet the highest standards of purity and are created in fair and ethical working conditions.
