Get your hair dryer out and blow them with it

if you can stand to sit until your nails are not totally wet, but just sticky, gently rub some hand lotion on them. If you plan on adding more coats, rinse then with water. I think you should invest in some nail polish thinner, which you can by at beauty supply places. It's not exactly like polish remover, but it can revitalize old bottles of polish. It can also be used to smooth out smudges on your nails, or to clean up if you get nail polish on your skin.
Another tip is try not to do your nails when it's really humid, I have a nasty habit of doing that and it does take dang near forever.

After you polish your nails, if you have a desk lamp or any other kind of lamp, shine that over the top of your nails after polishing and leave them there for 5 mins. if they still aren't dry put them back under the lamp for another 5 mins. If this doesn't work its probably best to toss the polish and try a different brand like Sally Hansen or Orly.

i never heard of nail polish that wont dry... maybe ur putting too much on and it seems like it wont dry? try putting a very thin layer on first wait for it to dry then put on another layer so the color would show more.

It'll dry soon. If it doesn't dry in, like, 10 minutes then wipe it off, clean your nails, put remover on them, and paint clear first, then the color that you would like, and then do clear again. It should work. Hope I helped and good luck!!! :) ;) =) â¥

UGH! i hate that! do you mean that they won't dry AT ALL, or they just take a really long time to dry? in this magazine i read that you should do your nails like two hours or so before you go to bed, and stick them in really cold water. try adding a clear top coat. it helped mine to dry faster.

is it old or new?
some old nailpolishes dont dry or they take forever & then get smudged
my advice is do one coat at a time and just a blowdryer over your nails until they are completely dry or just sit and wait and dont do anything hands on, then touch the nailpolish lightly to see if it finally dried, then appply another coat.

Ah...-It sounds like you should've shaken the bottle up- before you put it on. If the contents separated- & then you applied it, it might never dry correctly. However, on the chance it's ok, - try drying it with a hair drier- set on "low". Good luck!
