It’s Never Too Late to Just Get Started with Dr. Vivian Valenty of Dazzle Dry

WP headshot (2)

Vivian Valenty has known since she was young that her purpose on earth was to help people. Originally, she wanted to be a doctor, but she went into chemistry instead. After meeting with a man whose wife had a problem with the drying time of nail polish, she worked to fix it. When Covid hit, she pivoted her business to include the manufacturing of hand sanitizer––only to give it all away because she knew it was desperately needed. 

Today, we sit down with Vivian Valenty, founder of Dazzle Dry, a nail polish company that dries completely in FIVE minutes. She shares how her desire to help others is always at the forefront of her mind, when she decided to start Dazzle Dry, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and so much more. 

“​​It’s not an easy road to be an entrepreneur, owning your own business. It’s not for the faint hearted, you must have a stout heart, be able to address and overcome the challenges that are thrown your way.” – Vivian Valenty
