This started her on a professional path that led her to involvement with the nail industry. She went on to earn her doctorate in bioorganic chemistry at Penn State University. She graduated as valedictorian of her high school class and earned a scholarship to attend Mapua University, a top IT school known as the MIT of the Philippines, where she majored in chemistry. While in high school, teachers noticed her gift for academics and research. If I can’t help them physically, I can help them spiritually,” Valenty said. “In my mind, that’s the next best way to help people. When her parents told her they couldn’t afford medical school, she considered becoming a nun. Years ago, she created a top coat that utilized UVA light to allow the polish to dry in six minutes and contained none of the hazardous materials. Valenty’s chemistry background told her that nail polish ingredients contained endocrine disruptors and allergens. The company allows her to use her science degrees and decades-long experience doing research and development for high-profile companies. How Dazzle Dry got its startĬonsideration of others is at the heart of Valenty’s Dazzle Dry, which she started in 2007. “I didn’t want to benefit from the sacrifice of others,” Valenty said of her reason to donate the sanitizer rather than sell it. The company will continue to do this through the pandemic. It also enabled her to pay it forward by working with the Salvation Army to donate the sanitizer to those on the front lines. Shop a few flights below.She responded by turning her non-essential Chandler-based company into an essential one by using her manufacturing headquarters that made nail polish to also make FDA-approved hand sanitizer. You can buy full-size bottles for $22 or flights that include five mini lacquer bottles for $44. Exploring the colorsĭazzle Dry is available in over 160 stunning colors. Just add six to eight drops of Revive to full-size bottles and three to five drops for mini bottles (or more, if necessary). For the color and top coat, you can use Revive, which is a product that's included in the starter kit. If you notice the base coat getting cloudy, stand the bottle in one inch of hot water until the product becomes clear. Like many polishes, Dazzle Dry may dry out in the bottle and get thick with time. Finish off with one layer of the brand's Top Coat, let that dry for five minutes, and you're done! Maintaining your polish Apply two layers of Lacquer to each nail, allowing each coat to dry matte in between. Then, apply two layers of the Dazzle Dry Base Coat to each nail, allowing each coat to dry matte. Start by cleansing your nails with the brand's Nail Prep solution, which removes oils and other debris that hinder polish adhesion while infusing the nail with moisture and vitamins to strengthen them and keep them flexible. But all of our guests, the minute they tried the Dazzle Dry, they just like, 'Nope, that's all I want.'" Learn more about the Dazzle Dry System belowĪpplying Dazzle Dry is pretty similar to applying regular polish-but note that it's meant to be used as a four-step system, meaning that Dazzle Dry's polish only works its magic when it's used alongside other Dazzle Dry products. "We always keep other polish brands on hand just because there are some beautiful lines out there. My nails were dry to the touch before I even got out of the chair, no UV light required. My nail technician assured me that I'd be dry in five minutes but to give it 15 minutes before getting in water just to be on the safe side. When I got my pedicure, I loved that Dazzle Dry had tons of pretty polishes to choose from-I picked Ocean Motion ($22), a periwinkle blue. I'm surprised, to be honest, that it's not the go-to for pretty much every spa salon," says Cooper. While the ingredient list is what drew Canyon Ranch to Dazzle Dry, the performance is what hooked them-the four-step system has just a five-minute dry time and will stay chip-free for at least seven days. In addition to weakening the nails over time, ingredients in certain polishes can also cause an allergic reaction on the skin around the nails or even under the eyes, if you rub them often. There's no toluene, no formaldehyde, or nitrocellulose, which is what makes nails yellow." "It doesn't have any of like the nasty ingredients. "Dazzle Dry was created by a biochemist who wanted to create products that were really clean but effective," says Sam Cooper, the director of spa, fitness, and beauty for Canyon Ranch resorts.
