The panda is out of the bag! We have collaborated with Disney and Pixar to create a collection dedicated to the style of their newest film, Turning Red.
Disney and Pixar’s “Turning Red” introduces Meilin Lee (voice of Rosalie Chiang), a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming (voice of Sandra Oh), is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationships and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS), she “poofs” into a giant red panda! Directed by Academy Award® winner Domee Shi (Pixar short “Bao”) and produced by Lindsey Collins “Turning Red” streaming on Disney+ March 11 on Disney+. Subscription required. 18+ to subscribe.
The development of Meilin Lee's character runs parallel to the values we hold at Dashing Diva; We see nails as a canvas for self-expression and an opportunity to let your personality shine. As we show you how to own your diva, Mei shows us how to own our pand[iv]a!

Diva Pro Tip: Coordinate the colors of your card/gift bag to the nails' base color/accents for a gift that will look too pretty to even open!
Your nails are pressed on. They look perfect. Now what? There's so much more to the wear of a press-on manicure than successfully making it past the application process. Not to say that wearing press-ons is hard work, you just have to understand that their adhesive is not super glue. When you commit to a press-on mani, commit to being more graceful with your nails!
It just takes a few simple lifestyle adjustments to keep your press-ons from popping off early..
- Get in the habit of using your fingertips rather than your nails when typing on a keyboard, using a calculator, or entering your PIN at checkout.
- Use gloves while cleaning. Chemicals will work their way under your mani and deteriorate the adhesive much quicker than you think! Many soaps are oil based, so if you're spending some time scrubbing dishes, cover up!
- Don't use your nails to open or peel things. Your nails are not a tool! We promise there are other ways to do what you need to get done.
- Be extra careful when putting your shoes on. We know its a force of habit to slip sneakers on and go, but take the extra minute to untie your laces and put them on properly. There's a chance you might pop your pointer finger nail off when you're holding space between the back of your shoe and your foot as you slip them on. If you must hold that space at the heel (say you're putting on closed-toe pumps), try holding the sides and slowly putting your foot into them.
*Your nails are just as important of an accessory as your shoes - You'll be delaying yourself even more if you lose a nail and have to fix it before leaving the house!
Similar to an acrylic manicure, you may notice the shape of your press-ons rounding out throughout wear. For best results and 7-days of perfectly crisp nails, we suggest you touch them up with your nail file everyday to every other day. Square is the easiest shape to upkeep due to the softness of their rounded square edges. While coffin and stiletto are a little more advanced, you can really carve out their edges and accentuate their shape with some additional filing.
DIVA TIP: Prior to application, file the cuticle line of the press-on to match the curve of your cuticle for the most natural looking final look.
If taken care of properly throughout wear, your press-ons will be in good enough condition to wear again!
Stay far away from acetone. Choose oil and warm water for safe removal. You don't want to sacrifice the condition of the nail with harsh chemicals! Any oil could work, such as coconut oil or olive oil, or you could opt for a cuticle oil that has a blend of oils and directly targets specific concerns.
Buff the adhesive off the back of the press-on, or use the wooden stick that comes in your Magic Press set to peel away at it.
Reshape nails with a nail file prior to re-application.
Reuse nails as glue-ons! The thicker the nail glue, the longer wearing the mani. Opt for a gel adhesive, which is much tackier than traditional nail glue, similar to the thick adhesive of a press-on.
DIVA TIP: Save any leftover nails to create custom nail looks as you mix & match with future sets.
One of the best kept [not so] secrets of Dashing Diva is that we offer some of our classic colors in multiple product forms! We receive suggestion after suggestion to create a best-selling color in another style yet they already exist! You just have to keep an eye out for the special ones that do.
We call these 'Perfect Matches'.

]]>Year after year we turn to the reigning global color authority for their admirable announcement: The color which will prevail in pop culture for the upcoming year.
Described as a dynamic periwinkle blue hue with a vivifying violet red undertone, Very Peri is said to take on distinct appearances through application to different materials, textures, and finishes.
We have selected products from each of our collections that embody Very Peri's whimsicality, showing the color's versatility through different finishes and against other colors & prints.
'Very Peri makes a novel statement for eyes, nails, and especially hair in a variety of finishes and applications from glitter and glam to dusty matte.' -Pantone Color Institute Color Experts
A true shade of periwinkle capturing all the blue hues Very Peri possesses, featuring a matte finish that intensifies the color's vibrancy.
A blue-dominant base color identical to Parisian Periwinkle, contrasting brightly against neon colors & hints of glitter.
Slightly darker than Very Peri but a perfect execution of it's purple hues.
A slightly lighter color level than Very Peri but a variation of it's purple side.
Featuring two spin-off shades of Very Peri; one take on its blue hues & one take on its purple hues.
A gradient contrast featuring soft pink & a soft sister-shade to Very Peri.
How are you sporting Very Peri this season?
'The Pantone Color of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that color can hope to answer.'
If there's one thing we can agree on when it comes to nails, its that glitter is the elite look for a night out on the town.
Confidence can be channeled through any & every form of sparkles. Their natural ease of lighting up a room does half the work for you.
If you want to feel some powerful glam, we've got ten of the most spectacular sets to give you your star power.
For those who stick to a neutral nail but want to venture out into the glitter world.
The three different types of glitter in this set go best with white, neutral, and blue-toned outfits. The iridescence in the mosaic pieces brings out the color in all of them!
Nail bling stickers are the finishing touch you didn't know your mani needed. They're a perfect alternative for adding sparkle to your mani if you already have your nails done!
You can't forget your pedicure, especially if your shoes are open toed. This one is the perfect compliment to gold jewelry. The smallest details are what refine an unfinished look!
If your outfit needs a dose of color but you just can't seem to find the right accessory, we've (literally) got something in store for you. This icy hue of purple creates both a strong contrast against black and softens up against white. Unique enough to stand out yet neutral enough to go with any color you pair it with, this color really is what you make it out to be.
Draw the attention right to your shoes by stepping out in sparkles. A gorgeous compliment to silver jewelry.
Cool-toned glam that's neutral enough to go with any cool-toned outfit. The marble negative-space is a trend on the rise, so why not start the new year one step ahead?
*One of our only two press-on sets offered in the unique long length, square shape combo!
Warm-toned glam that's neutral enough to go with any warm-toned outfit. Milky nails with mosaic accents is a dream collaboration for those keeping up with the nail trends.
*The other one of our two sets offered in the unique long length, square shape combo!
Gold glitter is the classic choice for a glitter nail for its luxurious luster of gold and festivity of glitter.

This milky white set has countless standout characteristics to make you sparkle like the city lights. Cheers to having the best nails of the night!
Ever wish your nail appointments could be scheduled for you? Strategically timed out between each holiday so they’re party-perfect every time?
Wish no more, diva - We’ve worked our mani magic this year. We’ve done all the planning for you – with almost every holiday factor considered.
We’re giving you scheduled applications, removals, and bonus ‘rest days’ to give your nails a healing reset between each manicure.
We know that many of you will be hosting the holiday parties and cleaning your house, spending hours in the kitchen making your famous entrees, and/or standing in as the family hair & makeup artist. Assuming all this hands-on prep takes place within 24 hours of the holiday, each nail application is set to be at least two days prior.* Application 2+ days prior to the holiday allows optimal time for nails to fully set before cleaning products, cooking oils, or cosmetics can interrupt their adhesion.
*If you do not have an event on Christmas Eve, you may delay your application by one day.
You may notice that you won’t get a full wear out of some applications, but you won’t even think twice about these compromised days when you see how beneficial the slotted rest days are. Good nail health and long-lasting manicures are nearly synonymous.
These ‘rest days’ are the perfect opportunity to keep your nail health in check. Combat nail damage by giving your nail beds, cuticles, and hands some extra pampering.
Some notable products worth investing in:
Magic Press users will need 5 sets total to keep perfectly manicured throughout the holidays, while Glaze & Gloss users will need 3. Start by adding the sets to your cart, then add on any nail care products you may need (ex. nail serum or cuticle oil). If you are a first time Glaze user, don’t forget to add on your free LED mini lamp with code FREELAMP at checkout!
Glaze users follow the blue, Gloss users follow the green, and Magic Press users follow the purple. Blank days between a Removal and an Application are your nail ‘rest days’ – Use these to your advantage to restore your nail health!
The moon icon symbolizes a nighttime application – Giving yourself a manicure right before bed is a foolproof way to prevent external factors from tampering with the adhesive - As a bonus, it’s a great way to unwind from the day and pamper yourself to sleep.
We’ve sprinkled our pro tips throughout the calendar in hot pink boxes, so be sure not to skip over these!
Take a picture of your holiday mani(s) and tag @dashingdiva_usa for a chance to be featured on our social platforms!
This isn’t a time to stress, it’s a time to shine, so leave your nail worries with us! May your holidays be magical and your nails forever glamorous.
