Oh, contraire. Semi-cured berry purple gel nail strips featuring a shimmery velvet effect with mega volume and maximum shine.
QUICK & EASY: Easy-to-apply, fast-curing formula.
MOLDED SHAPE: Voluminous center x thin cuticle edge design sculpts and adds definition to nail shape.
MEGA VOLUME: Plump gel that masks imperfections for a smooth finish.
MIRROR SHINE: Rich, bold color with light-reflecting particles deliver brilliant shine.
EVEN SURFACE: Three perfectly-layered coats of gel polish create an always-even surface.
GEL STRONG: Lasting shine and durable wear for up to 14 days.
32 semi-cured gel nail strips, 2 prep pads, 1 nail file, 1 manicure stick
STEP 1: PREP
Wash nails with soap and water.
Shape nails and push back cuticles.
Use enclosed Prep Pad to ensure nails are clear from oils and residue.
Make sure your nails are completely dry before application.
STEP 2: SELECT SIZE
Hold the sheet over nail to find your size. If you are in between sizes, always size down.
STEP 3: APPLY
Gently lift strip from sheet starting from edge.
Place strip over the center of your nail, starting at cuticle line and pressing outward.
For optimal adhesion, the strip should be placed above the cuticle line avoiding skin or cuticles.
STEP 4: REMOVE FILM
Remove the protective film.
STEP 5: PRESS
Press down firmly from center and side to side.
STEP 6: TRIM
Trim strip flush to your nails using nail scissors or nail clippers.
STEP 7: CURE
Cure under LED light for 45 seconds.
PRO TIP: Be sure not to expose unused strips to LED light while curing manicure. If GLAZE is exposed to light, it will cure itself and will become unusable. Store in Glaze container while lamp is in use.
STEP 8: FILE
Position the nail file horizontally along the contour of your nail.
With one sweeping motion, file firmly across your free edge.
Make sure GLAZE does not exceed beyond your nail length.
Any overhang will cause chipping or cracking.
PRO TIP: Using the wooden manicure stick gently press down on glaze strip thoroughly to seal all edges before curing. This will prevent hair and debris from catching onto the nail strip perimeter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wash your hands with an oil-free soap and water (dish soap works great to remove oils from the skin and nails! This helps Glaze adhere best). Shape the nails and push back cuticles. Use the enclosed Prep Pad to remove any remaining oil and residue. Make sure your nails are completely dry before application.
To remove GLAZE, apply cuticle oil (such as our Magic Off+ Remover) to the base of the nail. Using a manicure stick, gently and slowly lift the nail strip from the corner of the cuticle area. Saturate the nail with additional oil to help loosen the adhesive. After a few moments, gently and slowly lift off the Glaze from your nail by pushing from the cuticle line toward the tip of the nail with the wooden stick. Do not rush! If you feel any tension, apply more oil, and allow more time for the adhesive to dissolve.
Tip 1: Before use, clean the cuticle line neatly. This step is important, as dead skin is a main cause of premature lifting, and hair getting caught. Carefully push back the cuticles and optionally remove your cuticles by trimming with a cuticle nipper or gently buffing them away with the included file. Then, ensure the nails are clear from oils and residue by wiping down with the included prep pad.
Tip 2: Press down all around the cuticle area and entire nail surface using the included wooden stick. Then, press and smooth the entire nail surface with your finger, making sure there is no gap between Glaze and your nail.

I love all of the DD glaze line. I've never had any colors that looked bad. But this one is AMAZING. If you want that magnetic polish trendy look... I would def go with this. I even had my friend, a nail tech, look at my nails and she thought I got them done professionally. She never though it was a sticker! If you're on the fence go for it.

Every time I use the dashing diva glaze kits they are better than any home DIY gel nail kit I’ve used and any salon. I’ve got my nails done from a salon a handful of times in my life leaving my nails in horrible condition. Which is why I tried my own DIY methods. This is by far the best at home nail experience. I used the berry contrary color today and I’m awestruck with how pretty they are. My friend who is a nail tech thought I got them done professionally. Crazy. Best nail stickers ever. The color will shift in the light! Looks like the magnetic nail trend!!!

This is one of the best solid colors I've ever used. Not only does it shimmer, but when you move your hand in different lights, it'll go a solid berry, no shimmer. It looks almost like liquid.
