I've been getting my nails done at the salon for 14 years. Acrylics, dip powder, gel, traditional polish—you name it, and I've tried it. I love being pampered, and I really love using my nails as an accessory with my outfits, especially during the summer when I can get more experimental. It's no secret that manicures and pedicures are wildly expensive these days, so this summer, I'm creating a unique salon experience at home with Dashing Diva.
I'm new to this process, but Dashing Diva allows you to get a whole new set of nails with ease. With patented pressure-sensitive adhesives, a rainbow of core colors, and the most on-trend designs and effects (hello, chrome nails), Dashing Diva delivers my desired nail look for less than $20. It has a variety of kits and tools, but Glaze currently has my full attention. With Glaze, all you have to do is apply the semi-cured gel strips and cure under LED light for 45 seconds for sculpted, strengthened, full-coverage nails made with real salon gel that lasts up to 14 days. The Glaze mani-pedi kits are available in seven bright summer shades at Ulta. Shop them all below.
Most at-home manicures or pedicures end up chipping or falling off after a few days. This gel not only is chip-proof and scratch-proof but also lasts up to two weeks.
I always get compliments on my nails when I'm wearing a bolder hue. This coral shade screams summer.
What I love so much about this kit is the limited edition LED lamp that's included. Buying nail tools separately can be expensive, so an all-in-one, affordable kit to refresh my nails every couple of weeks is ideal.
This neon yellow would typically fall under the "vacation nails" category for me, but I love the idea of wearing a head-to-toe neutral look and letting my nails be the pop of color this summer.
You can't go wrong with white nails in the summertime. It's foolproof.
ICYMI, Glaze is an all-in-one product, so you don't need an additional base coat, topcoat, or nail strengthener. Does it get any easier than that?
WWW editors love tapping into the latest nail trends. The celeb-loved glazed-donut trend has been everywhere, and it's pretty hard to resist at such an affordable price.
If you're new to at-home mani-pedis, this is your ultimate starter pack. You can't beat molded shape, mega volume, and mirror shine in a matter of minutes.
My at-home salon experience always includes an LED lamp for curing my nails, so I love having a compact, portable one to travel with. Bonus points for it being compatible with all gel nail products.
