As much as we love having our nails done, sometimes it’s just not in the cards to carve out two to three hours to spend at the salon. Not to mention, salon manicures can be quite pricey, especially if you’re going for a nail enhancement or nail art. Thankfully, there are so many brands nowadays that make doing your own nails at home a breeze, from press-ons to super-fast-drying polish to what we’ll be getting into here, at-home gel polish. And one of our favorite DIY manicure brands just released their version of gel polish that can be used at home: Dashing Diva One Gel. The 3-in-one gel polish creates a beautiful set of nails for just $11 and can be bought at the drugstore. Keep reading for all there is to know about Dashing Diva’s new gel polish, how to apply it and where to find it.
About Dashing Diva
In the oversaturated market of at-home nails, what exactly makes Dashing Diva different? The brand launched in mass retailers over 10 years ago in 2012 and absolutely changed the DIY nail game with its gel nail strips.
You have probably seen or maybe used nail strips before. Nail strips can be described as a crossover between press-ons, nail stickers and nail polish. They aren’t as hard or thick as the typical press-on nail, but they do fit the entire nail like a press-on and are “stuck” on. You don’t use any nail glue—the strip already has an adhesive on it that sticks to the nail. Dashing Diva was one of the first in the game to make gel nail strips, which you cure under a lamp like regular gel polish and that look like regular gel polish, without having to be “good” or neat at actually painting your nails.
About Dashing Diva One Gel
Are nail strips not your thing? Don’t worry, you can still achieve dreamy DIY nails with Dashing Diva’s new One Gel polish. Arguably, the best part about this gel polish is that it’s 3-in-1: you get a base coat, color and top coat in one bottle. And what we love about that is that it can save you time and money, as well as space in your vanity drawer.
Many nail polishes today contain toxic chemicals that can be potentially damaging to your nails and/or skin. Dashing Diva One Gel is “21-free,” which refers to a list of 21 potentially harmful ingredients found in some nail polishes that aren’t used in their formula. It’s also cruelty-free and vegan.
Where to get Dashing Diva One Gel
Dashing Diva One Gel is sold on their website, as well as in Target stores, which makes it easy and accessible to pick up a bottle. It retails for $11 per bottle and is offered in a wide variety of gorgeous shades.
You can pick up just the bottle of your favorite color (or colors) to start, or you can opt for their One Gel Starter Kit, which comes with a One Gel Polish, LED lamp, prep pads, manicure sticks, nail file, mini nail buffer and nail magnet wand. Speaking of magnetic polish, the brand didn’t just stop at regular gel polish colors; they also released Dashing Diva One Gel Magnetic Color that creates a magnetic “cat eye” effect.
Even better? Both the One Gel and One Gel Magnetic Color polishes are supposed to last up to 14 days.
How to apply Dashing Diva One Gel
Applying Dashing Diva One Gel is relatively easy and hassle-free, especially since all it takes is one polish. After prepping your nails by trimming, filing and pushing back your cuticles, simply apply a thin coat of your One Gel polish to your nails and cure under an LED light; repeat until your desired color/look is reached.
How to remove Dashing Diva One Gel
One of the worst parts about gel polish is the removal process—at least, that’s traditionally been one of the worst parts. With Dashing Diva One Gel, you can remove it effortlessly at home with their new One Gel Magic Off bubbling remover. The remover is super quick and easy to use and won’t damage your nails, unlike other nail polish removers.
