How to dry nail polish fast

It is clear that any fashionista would like to always have beautiful colored nails. It’s only one thing to choose a color and apply varnish, and another thing is to wait until it dries, otherwise all beauty will be lost because of one smeared nail, and even worse, you will have to paint it again and again wait until it dries, and this is even 15 minutes of wasted time. But it also happens that you can’t do without a manicure, and there’s no time at all to wait until the varnish dries.

Many girls are not even aware that the nails will dry faster if they are properly prepared. For this you need:

• get rid of old nail polish using a special liquid - there should not be a trace of it;
• with a nail file, adjust the required length of the nail plate;
• polish the nail using a soft buff for this (this is done because the smooth nail plate helps the varnish to dry as soon as possible);
• at the end of these actions, hands should be washed in soapy water and dried thoroughly with a towel;
• treat nails with alcohol (nail polish remover is also suitable) - it turns out a kind of degreasing.

What not to do:

• do not apply cream on your hands before painting your nails with varnish;
• do not oil cuticles;
• do not apply new varnish on the old;
• do not paint your nails if your hands are wet.

If all the requirements are taken into account, then feel free to proceed with painting. Nail polish should not be more than two layers. They will dry much faster than usual, although it will still take some time.

How quickly painted nails dry depends on the intensity of the pigment in the applied coating, what color it is and what quality it is. It is believed that on average, it is possible to dry the nails completely in 15-30 minutes, and sometimes much longer. In order to have fewer problems with applying colored varnish, you need to understand its diversity.

There is a demand - there is a supply, because manufacturers understand how important it is for ladies to use just such varnishes that will not take them much time to dry. Such a product costs more, but this is not an obstacle for fashionistas - as long as it really matches the declared qualities and dries quickly.

Such a varnish requires some application skills - everything needs to be done as quickly and accurately as possible, because a quick-drying varnish can harden even on your brushif you decide to do something to distract yourself. Such a product is suitable for girls who have been doing manicures on their own for a long time and, as they say, their hands are full of quick and accurate application. If you are a beginner, first practice on a regular varnish.

Drying time depends entirely on the pigment content in the coating. Saturated colors dry slowly, transparent and translucent colors much faster., therefore, such a product should always be in stock - in case of an emergency.

The thicker the coating, the longer it will dry. When buying a bottle of varnish, consider its contents, and if the composition is too thick, reaches for a brush, or even curled up, do not take it. The varnish can be brought to such a state if it is stored incorrectly - in a too warm place or in the open sun.

There are specialized stores for the sale of such dryers, and there is everything for those who work in a beauty salon - from tools to the necessary consumables. In addition, drying is also purchased in the cosmetic department, which sells any nail polish. One way or another, if desired, nowadays drying can be quite simply purchased for your own use.

A great way to ensure that the applied coating dries as soon as possible is to buy a special device, it is called a manicure fan. This compact device can be powered from a wall outlet, or it can also run on batteries (simple penlight).

Moreover, you can buy a device that is designed to dry two hands at once, or you can dry them in turn. The principle of operation of such devices is simple - a hand with freshly applied varnish must be placed inside the device, and there drying occurs due to the operation of several small fans. The cost of these devices is low and you can buy them in the same place where manicure and pedicure supplies are sold.

Girls consider this tool to be the simplest and most reliable for fixing their own manicure.At first glance, the varnish is no different from the usual colorless. It is applied a couple of minutes after applying the main color layer. Only one layer is enough for your nails to be completely dry in a maximum of 5 minutes.

This is another way that helps in the quick drying of painted marigolds. It looks like an ordinary spray can, inside of which there is an oily liquid. The product is applied immediately after applying varnish to the nails, only it is necessary to capture all the nails completely.

After applying the spray, you will have to wait 7 minutes, no more.

The disadvantages of using a spray-dryer include the fact that it does not make the coating more resistant. Sold together with other varnishes and manicure accessories.

A small bottle and a dropper cap included - this is also a popular drying. Apply this tool should be drop by drop on each nail. One has only to apply, as the oil immediately spreads over the nail, so that the varnish begins to dry quickly. Such a tool is food for nails and periungual ridges, in addition, its regular use will save you from burrs.

Many ladies know how practical gel polishes are. They can remain on the nail plate for a long time, without changing the saturation of their color, without losing their gloss.The nail plate becomes denser, and the UV lamp dries them instantly.

In order to make a gel coating, you should go to the salon, although today all the preparations are already available with which a girl can apply gel polish herself. To do this, she will have to stock up:

• base gel coat;
• color gel coating;
• top reinforcing coating;
• UV lamp;
• degreaser (for example, alcohol);
• polishing buff.

There are some folk methods for the speedy drying of painted marigolds.

After all, it happens that there is no special means or device for this at the moment, and there is also no time to wait. This is where simple and proven methods come in handy:

1. Just find somewhere a stream of cold air (the wind outside the window, a working air conditioner or a fan - this way the coating on the nails will dry out faster.
2. Make an ice bath. To do this, before applying the varnish, prepare a container that is suitable in depth and size (so that both hands can fit in it). This capacity should not be afraid of low temperature and freezing. It can be a metal container, but it will be very unpleasant to touch it with your hands when it is cold. It is better to use plastic dishes - it is resistant to cold, and it will be more comfortable to work with it.

Pour cold (but not ice) water into the container, send whole, not crushed, pieces of ice there (about one glass).Now put the container with prepared water in the refrigerator (but not in the freezer) and you can start applying varnish to your nails.

In the same case, if you intend to devote at least an hour to nail design, it is better to remove the water in the freezer. Just do not freeze it completely - then nothing will work with quick drying.

When the procedure for applying varnish is over, carefully, so as not to lubricate a single nail, remove the prepared container from the refrigerator or freezer. If possible, ask someone at home to do this.

The surface on which you will place the water tank must be flat. If it is a wooden table, lay a soft napkin or towel between it and the container (this is done so that water rings do not form on the surface).

Now you must soak your hands in cold water for three minutes. - the procedure, of course, is not pleasant, but the thought that the varnish will dry quickly in this way should warm you. After removing your frozen but beautiful hands from the ice water, put them on a towel and lightly touch the varnish to make sure that everything is in order - the varnish has frozen, and everything was not in vain. If, when touched, the coating on the nail plate turned out to be hard - that's the way it is.

In principle, when you take your hands out of the water, you can already visually determine that the varnish has dried (even if such a statement sounds strange, but you will see for yourself).

Other methods:

1. You can use, for example, a pneumatic cleaner. Until now, you only remembered about it when you were going to tidy up the keyboard, but it turns out that a cleaner or a can of compressed air can dry the varnish on your nails very quickly. You just need to be careful when working with compressed air and keep the can thirty centimeters from the nail surface.
2. You can think of a hair dryer, because there is a cold mode (the coating bubbles under a hot stream), and a cold stream of air can be used to make the varnish dry faster. Just do not set the speed too high, otherwise you will get waves on the nail plate instead of a smooth manicure.
3. If you have olive oil spray, which you use for culinary purposes - it will also help dry your nails. A little of this oil should be sprayed onto the varnish. This method of drying may not seem entirely clear, but it has been proven to be effective, and this is evidenced by many reviews of girls who have used just this method of drying. Here you should also spray oil from a distance of up to thirty centimeters, otherwise the strength of the aerosol can also spoil the overall picture.

• If you cover your nails with a thin layer of varnish, they will dry much faster than with a thick layer. If you apply several thin layers to get a thick layer, drying each previous one before drying, rather than waiting for one thick layer to dry, this will speed up the drying process.
• If you properly clean the nail bed and remove the cuticle, then this will ensure better adhesion of the varnish to the nail plate.which means it will dry out faster.
• Sit down to do a manicure when all the housework is done, because then it will be easy to lubricate the varnish, taking on this or that work, and this is an extra waste of time for altering the manicure and, of course, nerves.
• If you are going to leave home after your manicure, it is better to dress and put on shoes before you start painting your nails. Otherwise, when dressing, you will probably hook or grease something somewhere.

It’s great if you have someone to turn to to turn on the nail dryer or hold the hairdryer - this is a guarantee that your freshly applied varnish will remain safe and sound.

Be patient, always wait until the varnish is completely dry. And if the trouble still happened, you should not be too upset - redo it and be more careful in the future.

Drying nail polish quickly is not a problem at all, you just need to know about these methods and choose the one that suits you personally.
