DAZZLE DRY LEMONGRASS NAIL POLISH REMOVER

I had the opportunity to try another great product out, thanks to the wonderful Lisa Cocuzza of It's A Glam Thing. This is a product from Dazzle Dry and VB Cosmetics. You all might remember my review of the Dazzle Dry Nail Polish I did a few months ago. I had really high hopes for this since I just loved the results of the Dazzle Dry nail polish kit I tried.


First, a little bit about the product:
LEMONGRASS NAIL POLISH REMOVER - Moisturizes Nails & Cuticles; Healthy Fresh Scent

Strips off nail polish without drying nails and cuticles. Lemongrass and clove essential oils provide a clean fresh scent and anti microbial properties.

Ingredients: Acetone, water, glycerin, lemongrass essential oil and clove essential oil.


THE TEST:

The first thing I noticed about this nail polish remover was the scent. It really does smell good! I think it smells just like those hard, sugar coated lemon drop candies. It wasn't an over powering smell either. Usually I will hear something from my bf about the smell when I am doing my nails. Last night he didn't say anything, which I took to be a good sign that it didn't stink, and it wasn't too over powering that it made the whole house smell like lemons.

The next big test I had for this remover was it's ability to actually remove the nail polish, lol. You all saw that densely glittered nail polish I had on yesterday, so this was really put to the test. I was concerned that with this remover being geared toward moisturizing that it would lack on the nail polish removal side. Once again, I was pretty pleased with this product. This product removed all that glitter in the same amount of time that my regular nail polish remover would take.

The third test I had was, could I see that my nails and fingers were moisturized after using this. After removing all traces of nail polish I allowed a few minutes to let my nails and fingers dry completely from the remover. Usually the skin all around my nails is white, dry, cracked and crusty looking from using my acetone remover. I could see a very clear, and noticeable difference with this product. I could still see a couple of dry, white spots, but they are few and far between.

THE RESULTS:
I believe this product did everything it claimed it would do, there was a nice scent, it removed my nail polish with ease and it left my nails and fingers looking and feeling moisturized.
This product is sold in 8oz bottles for $10.50 and can be purchased at VB COSMETICS.

THE RECOMMENDATION:
I would definitely recommend this product, however, an 8oz bottle of nail polish remover would last me all of about 2 weeks, and at $10.50 a bottle that's pretty steep.
  • For the regular nail polisher out there who changes their polish once a week or so, this could very well be worth the price.
  • I could also see using this for when you are trying to really get some moisture into your nails and cuticles, like I am right now with my Barielle products. I think it would be worth it get a bottle and use for a time like that.
  • Another good use would be to get a bottle to use only during the winter months when nails and cuticles are at their driest, and could really benefit from a product like this.
Of course if money didn't matter, this would be the only thing I used to remove nail polish with.
