Is Dazzle Dry Safe for Pregnancy?
I share the best pregnancy polish from my own experience. I’m a pregnant mom (at the time of this post) and love a good, long-lasting DIY, nontoxic, pregnancy, and breastfeeding-safe nail polish.
Is Dazzle Dry Vegan?
Yup sure is! In case you were wondering.
Spoiler…
Before I share more, I want to let you know that Dazzle Dry is safe for pregnancy and is 💯vegan too! Read more love! ❤️
I don’t go to the nail salons that often but when I do I love this place called B’Dazzle Beauty in Phoenix, AZ. But most of the time I do my own nails at home thanks to this amazing Dazzle Dry. I have tried, and tried so many polishes, that for a minute I was collecting polishes.
I was a Color Street stylist, and then I loved Olive and June, OPI, Ellie, etc. So, instead of giving you a blah, blah list of safe polishes that will leave you all confused, I’ve narrowed it down to just one, but I’ve included the others in case you want to check them out.
I’ve narrowed it down to the best pregnancy-safe polish based on my own experience. Now, I will say it’s a system. What I love the most is that it does not require any UV lighting.
I get a consistent, solid week + of wear, which is very good, in my opinion. All the others I tried either chip in a couple of days, and it’s just not worth the hassle!
Here are some pics of my Color Street Days!
Then, when I went vegan almost eight years ago, I had to really figure things out. I primarily wanted to focus on testing vegan nail polishes readily available at major retailers like Target, Walgreens, and CVs.
I even created an entire YouTube Channel called FaithFuNails where I tested out so many nontoxic nail polish some listed in on post.
After years of hunting for the perfect product, as a breastfeeding mom and now being pregnant (June 2024), I knew I needed something high-quality that consistently delivered. I finally found the best vegan, pregnancy-safe nail polish that’s also cruelty-free and long-lasting.
The best part? It’s based in Chandler, AZ, but it’s well-known nationwide. I was hesitant at first because it seemed like a process, but I decided to try it.

Pregnancy Safe Polish: Dazzle Dry where to buy
You can purchase Dazzle Dry online through their website and usually find a 15% coupon code—Google it. You can also sign up for their rewards program to get more perks (I got $30 off my last purchase). You can also buy on Amazon.
Unfortunately, you can not find it at major retailers, and at one point before the pandemic, you could go into their store, but that’s no longer.

Best Pregnancy Safe Polish FAQs
Can I use Nail Polish While Pregnant?
I think I answered this well, but check with your doctor, but for the most part it’s generally safe to use nail polish (mainly non toxic). While there’s still chemicals in nail products, I want to emphasize that!
What nail polish can I use while pregnant?
Dazzle Dry’s blog post on this topic was great, and I appreciate their ability to specifically address how their products are pregnancy-safe.
Perhaps I’m biased. You can read the full article (2024): https://dazzledry.com/blogs/journal/can-you-wear-nail-polish-while-pregnant.
Is Dazzle Dry Pregnancy Safe?
Short answer. Yes, read their article linked above.
Is polish safe during pregnancy?
Less toxic polishes. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists recommends reading labels and knowing the ingredients for products.
They encourage women to stay away from
products that contain harmful products. “When choosing beauty and personal care products, always check the ingredients. Try to avoid anything that contains:• Phthalates • Parabens • Oxybenzone • Triclosan
Also, look for products labeled “fragrance-free” instead of “unscented.” “fragrance-free” means no added scents, while “unscented” products might have chemicals to mask odors, which can be harmful.” (Source: https://www.acog.org/womens-health/faqs/toxic-chemicals-steps-to-stay-safer-before-and-during-pregnancy).
What is the safest manicure for a pregnant woman?
The safest manicure for pregnant women does not require UV, gel and harmful chemicals.
What polish remover is safe during pregnancy?
I would stay away from acetone-based products as much as possible. I love the Dazzle Dry non-acetone polish. It’s wonderful, very general on the nails, and does not damage over time.
Olive and June also have a decent one I use regularly. Both are pictured below. Here’s another plug for Dazzle Dry; it definitely takes the cake for this one!
7 Free nail polish
There are a ton of 7-free Polish that are also vegan, meaning they are free of harmful chemicals.

– Be Kind (21-Free)
Pregnancy Safe Polish: Additional Brands
I’ve listed a few that I’ve tried. The ones I’ve selected I’ve used so far, but unfortunately, they did not last more than 3 days without chipping.
I have a YouTube Channel, FaithFunails, where I documented some of the polishes. But they are great for a few days.
If you are looking for a long-lasting polish, make sure to use the top and base coats for each product, as they tend to work best with the nail polish.
In my experience, these polishes don’t stay on long unless you go with the glitters, which are tough to come off. I’ve tried each one listed except for Jinsoon and included some photos of each polish.
I have gotten rid of most of my stash. I’ve also included my .2 cents based on my experience. Depending on the color and top coat, it was a mixed bag.
Other Pregnancy Safe Nail Polish
– Olive and June – This polish does last longer than the others (6 days or so, but it is spent on the color). I got some staining, and my nails would have cracks)
– Ella + Mila – I love the colors, but start to peel after a couple of days; their Zepher line lasted
– Habit – peeled. I did get five days of wear, but it wasn’t consistent
– Nailtolopia – very watery. I ended up returning
– Orly Breathable – chips after a few days
– Jinsoon – I have not tried
– Deborah Lipman– glitter stayed on, but others did not
Ella and Mila Pregnancy Safe?
Yes, according to a blog post by Ella and Mila, their polishes are pregnancy-safe and do not contain animal-derived or harmful chemicals. Here’s the article: https://www.ellamila.com/blogs/in-the-news/ella-mila-nail-polish.
I have tried their polishes and love their colors, but unfortunately, they did not last long for me. Here’s a video I made on my progress. But give them a try.
Pregnancy Safe Polish Wrap
There a lot of pregnancy polishes that are safe to use while pregnant. I love Dazzle Dry. Although it’s more of a system and a little pricy, the salon effect, long-lasting wear, and fast drying time make this product worth it.
After testing many vegan and pregnancy polishes, I enjoy Dazzle Dry the most. You can even find a salon/spa in your area trained to use the product or do a DIY. Either way, you will not be disappointed.
Olive is and June is decent alternative! If you want to learn about three great vegan pregnancy books, I wrote about it here.
Happy 🤰🏽💅🏾
