We take time to choose and apply the nail polish that suits our nails, but sometimes we need to apply nail polish at the last minute and get out. In such a case, the most unpleasant details that can be experienced are the peeling of the nail polish that is not completely dry, the formation of traces on the nails, and an overflowing and damaged nail polish appearance. Here are 5 methods that will save you from these negativities;
1. Use baby oil
After applying your nail polish, dip your hands in a bowl filled with baby oil. In a short time, both your nail polish will be dry and your fingers will be soft. You can also use the oils we use in cooking, such as olive oil and coconut oil, to dry nail polish. After applying nail polish, you can spray the oils you put in a small spray bottle on your nails in a small amount, so you can let your nail polish dry quickly. Just wait a few minutes and wash it off.
2. Do not apply too many coats of nail polish
You may want to apply more coats so that the color of your nail polish is darker and the surface is smoother. However, it will take a long time to dry in this way, and it will also easily peel off and deteriorate. Instead, it is enough to apply two thin coats to both look good and dry properly.
3. Buy desiccant spray
Try desiccant sprays available in cosmetic stores. You may think it is costly at first glance, but these sprays, which you can use for a long time, dry your nail polish instantly and save you time.
4. Use a hair dryer
We all have a hair dryer at home. You can also use this useful tool while drying nail polish. However, you should be careful to keep the heat setting low and not to burn your fingers.
5. Soak in ice water
After applying your nail polish, put your hands in ice-filled water and try to wait for 5 minutes. Cold and icy water will instantly dry your nail polishes and prevent them from spoiling.
