Does anyone have any good tips for drying nail polish really fast? I'll get the stuff that's supposed to dry quickly & I've tried sticking my hands in the freezer or under cold water for a little while but nothing works. I still manage to smudge & mess them up even if it's been a while & I'm being extra careful. I finally beat my nail-biting habit & have finally grown some nails & I like to paint them every once in a while but I don't bother anymore cause it's pointless when I mess them up anyways! If anyone has any tried & true things that have worked, I'd really appreciate it!

You tried all the things that should work, the only thing I would suggest, do one thin coat and let it dry for 1/2 an hour and then follow with another thin coat. Start one stroke on the left, then on the right and then the middle of the nail. That should help.
A blow dryer won't do the trick if it blows hot air, all you need is time and the first layer has to dry totally. The nail polish Express finish from Maybelline is good, it does dry fast.

Tips For Drying Nail Polish

Well there is this polish you can get at almost any retail store and its called quick dry. You polish on like usual and it dries your polish in 60 seconds. It really depends on how many coats you put on. Try not to put on so many and it will dry even quicker. hope this helps

1. Blow dry
2. Wave your hands around.
3. Put them in front of a fan or vent.
4. Don't put the nail polish on very thick.
5. And don't touch anything.!

Just lay down and hodl your two hands out infront of a fan while tlaking on the phone with a head set. make sure you pput the headset on before you paint your nails. Time will go by faster and they'll be dry before you know it.

Put the nail polish on and after doing that wave your hands around or put your hands under the fan.

I put a little nail polish remover in the polish, thins it out and it dries really fast, you might have to do two coats but it dries so fast it doesn't matter.

Do one or all
1. dip your nails in cold water (ice cold)
2. put your fingers in front of a fan
3. buy the spray for quick drying nails

Try dipping them in alcohol. Then wave hands.
Have you tried the new things Avon has, just roll on the color and it sticks, no drying problems, but use acetone to take off.

FIRST THING , IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A NAIL DRYING APPLIANCE....TURN ON YOUR HAIR DRYER ON LOW AND PLACE IT ON THE FLOOR IF DOING TOENAILS.....ON THE COUNTER FOR FINGERNAILS......PAINT THEM ONE THIN COAT AT A TIME AND LET THEM DRY... BY THE HAIR DRYER AIR.....THEN RECOAT AND LET THAT DRY THEN APPLY THE QUICK DRY OIL. DONT FORGET TO TURN OFF THE DRYER GENTLY AND DONT PUT IT AWAY TIL MUCH LATER.... SO AS .NOT TO SMUDGE OK
