20 minutes before applying the varnish, place the bottle of varnish in the refrigerator. Apply cooled polish to your nails. It will dry faster than room temperature polish.
The second way is to use increased air flow. This could be a cold hairdryer or a fan. Active swinging of the arms also gives a good effect. As a variant of this method, you can use a pneumatic cleaner. A pneumatic cleaner is a cylinder with a compressed mixture of gases, designed to clean the keyboard and hard-to-reach places in the computer system unit. But it can also be used for emergency purposes.
The third available remedy is cold water, or rather ice water. The colder the water, the better. You can add ice cubes to the water. Pour water into a bowl and gently dip your fingers into the water. Keep in water for several minutes.
Method number 4 - vegetable oil. It is better to take olive oil, but sunflower or any other vegetable oil will do - peach, almond, wheat germ oil. Place a drop of oil on a fresh manicure and after a few minutes rinse off under running water. You can use a kitchen oil sprayer for the same purpose.
An ultraviolet lamp dries the varnish well. You need to hold your painted nails under the lamp for 2-3 minutes.
To quickly dry your nails, place them in the freezer for a few seconds. This method, at first glance, seems strange, but in terms of efficiency it is superior to the method of drying with ice water. At low temperatures, the varnish hardens faster.
note
Old varnish dries worse than new. Therefore, if you are in a hurry, cover your nails with fresh polish.
Helpful advice
Wash your nails with water before applying polish or wipe with nail polish remover. This will help remove dust particles from the nail plate that cause bubbles to appear in the varnish layer.

Before applying the coating, degrease the nail plate by wiping it with nail polish remover without adding oils. If you remove nail polish with an oil-based product, wash your hands with soap, dry them thoroughly and wait until your nails are completely dry. Don't use creams. The polish does not apply well to wet or oily nails.
If the varnish has thickened, it will be impossible to achieve rapid hardening of the coating. Dilute it with a special solvent. Add a few drops to the bottle and rub between your palms. It is advisable to repeat the procedure before each manicure.
To create an opaque, uniform coating without gaps, you will need 2-3 layers of varnish. Before applying a new layer, dry the previous one thoroughly, otherwise the brush will leave streaks. Start with the little finger of your left hand and finish with your right thumb. After this, you can apply the second layer according to the same scheme.
The three-layer coating needs to be dried more thoroughly. Use special products that allow you to fix fresh varnish as quickly as possible. Choose between spray, oil drops and clear coat finishes.
If you don't like a thick film on it, use a drying spray. Spray the product over freshly applied varnish and wait 7-10 minutes. Once dry, try not to touch hard surfaces for half an hour. Do not fasten your clothes and shoes, do not wear rubber gloves - this can damage the fresh varnish.
Special oil drops will quickly dry your manicure. The bottle is equipped with a brush or pipette that allows you to accurately dose the liquid. You will need one drop of product per nail. There is no need to spread it - the oil will distribute itself over the plate. When drying the varnish, do not work on the computer or leaf through books - greasy stains will remain on the pages and keyboard. After 10-12 minutes, check the hardening of the coating, carefully wash your hands and pat them dry with a towel.
Drying is very convenient and performs protective functions. It is applied like a regular polish and creates a thin, shiny, instantly drying film on the surface of the nail. Look for a product marked “express” - after applying it, the surface of the nail becomes hard within 1-2 minutes. Apply the coating in a thick layer. Every other day you can update it to give your manicure a fresh look.
note
If you accidentally damage a fresh manicure, completely remove the coating from the affected nail and reapply the polish. Do not try to restore the damaged coating - the enamel layer will be too thick and uneven. It will be impossible to dry it completely even with the use of special means.
There are situations when you need nail polish urgently. To do this, you can use both homemade and professional remedies.

Use quick-drying varnishes if you are constantly in a hurry. Quality directly depends on price, so if you want to have the perfect manicure, don’t skimp on it. A special drying varnish or spray product will also come to your aid. You can find it in many stores at a very attractive price. Apply it over regular varnish - this will help reduce the drying time of the coating several times.
Place the bottle of polish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 10 minutes. Firstly, after this it will dry twice as fast, and secondly, the coating will be even and smooth. If the varnish is too thick, add a little special solvent to it. Do not use acetone for this purpose - it will ruin the varnish.
File your nails with a soft nail file. The smoother the nail plate, the faster the polish dries. Be sure to remove any remaining “dust” by wiping your nails with a degreasing liquid.
Apply the varnish in a thin layer. If it doesn't have enough pigment and you want a rich color, cover your nails with 3 layers. After applying each one, wait until it dries.
Speed up the drying process by using devices that blow cold air. Both a hairdryer and a fan will do. Do not bring the device too close to your nails; the surface of the coating may deteriorate or become covered with bubbles.
Soak your nails in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes. There is no need to wipe your hands after this. Once the moisture has evaporated, gently apply olive oil or cream to your nails. Wait a few minutes and check if the polish is dry by lightly tapping your nail against your nail.

In this case, it will quickly crack and you will have to redo the manicure. Apply the decorative coating and dry for a few minutes.

How to dry your nails quickly
If you painted your nails, but you didn’t have any special means on hand to quickly dry the polish, it doesn’t matter, because there are other ways to cope with this task in a short time. For example, you can quickly dry varnish using cold water. All you have to do is pour cold water into a wide container and place your painted nails there. The drying time of the manicure directly depends on the temperature of the water - the colder it is, the less time it will take you to achieve the desired result.
Alternatively, you can use a hairdryer to dry nail polish: turn on the device, adjust the temperature to minimum and expose your nails to a stream of air. The disadvantage of this method is that the varnish usually does not last long. Another effective way to quickly dry nail polish is to use olive oil. Apply the varnish, wait until it dries slightly, then carefully apply a drop of oil to each nail and leave for about five minutes. After the time has passed, rinse your nails in cold water. In general, it’s worth remembering that if you want your manicure to be long-lasting, try to allocate at least half an hour of your time to it; these 30 minutes will be enough to do a neat manicure and let the nail polish dry properly.

A beautiful manicure is the key to a good appearance and mood. But quite often women find themselves in a situation where the nail polish is not yet completely dry, but something needs to be done, the children are calling or they need to hurry. It's a shame to ruin your manicure, so you should know about little tricks that will help dry the polish faster.
In order for the varnish to dry well and stick, it is necessary to follow the technology of preparing nails for coating and the process of applying the varnish itself.
There are many clever and effective ways to dry the varnish coating as quickly as possible.
This method has been tested by many women and is successful. This is a really fast way. But it should be borne in mind that immediately after painting your nails you cannot bring them near water, it will simply sweep away the entire manicure. You must wait at least five minutes for the varnish to begin to dry. The nails are placed under a stream of cold water and held for a couple of minutes. During this time the varnish hardens.
You can also stick your hand in the freezer for a few minutes. The cold will bind the varnish and it will harden quickly. Some people prefer to soak their nails in cold water, but there are times when this leads to the coating peeling off. Therefore, you should be careful with this method. Otherwise you will have to redo it.
One common way to dry varnish is to use cold air. Most often, women use a fan or hairdryer with a cold jet. It is better not to use hot air, because this can, on the contrary, soften the varnish and make it dull.
When resorting to such methods, you need to remember that there is a possibility of uneven drying of the varnish, because a strong stream of air affects the fresh varnish.
Olive or sunflower oil is most often used, but any basic cosmetic oil will do.
You can pour the oil into a small container and dip your manicured fingers into the oil one by one. You can do this with a pipette, just drip the oil onto the nail, it spreads itself and cuts the waiting time in half. Many companies produce fixative oils that operate on the same principle.
The use of oil is beneficial for nails and cuticles. It softens and nourishes the skin, strengthens nails.
One more little trick. Before you start painting, place a bottle of varnish in the freezer for two to three minutes. It will cool down and create a temperature contrast when applied. Cold polish will dry faster on a warm nail plate.
In any varnish store you can find one that will dry quickly. It is transparent, applied to colored varnish when it has hardened a little. After drying, the varnish will harden within five minutes.
This product allows the polish to stay on the nails longer and gives a glossy shine. It is not recommended to apply more than one layer so that the dryer works correctly. Today this method is used very often because it is easy and reliable.
This tool is also freely available. It's very easy to use. The dryer consists of a small bottle and a sprayer.
Immediately after applying the color coating, you can spray the contents of the ear on your nails. Thanks to the components of the spray, the varnish dries faster.
The advantage is that the sprays contain oils and beneficial substances that have a positive effect on nails. But the downside is that the spray does not give the varnish stability and does not prevent premature chipping and peeling.
This small device will help make the nail polish drying process faster. You don’t have to run to the salon to use it. It is sold in specialized stores and is inexpensive. Fans are small devices that produce a stream of air for drying. They can be for one hand or for two.
They are easy to use. Just turn on the device; they operate on batteries or from the mains. The fingers are placed in the device, and it is necessary to hold it for several minutes until the varnish hardens. The convenience lies in the fact that you don’t have to take additional actions, ten minutes of patience and your fingers are irresistible.
Currently, lamps are very popular and can be used for many purposes. They are used both in professional beauty salons and at home. With their help you can make extended nails, dry shellac coating, and fix regular polish. The use of such a device increases the wearing time of the manicure and consolidates the result well.
The lamps are a closed structure with an opening for the hand. There are special ultraviolet lamps inside, which have a drying effect. Many models have such a convenient function as a timer. With its help, you can control the time spent under the lamps without fear of overstaying your time.

Well-groomed hands with a beautiful, spectacular manicure are an integral part of the image of a modern woman. Many girls know how to not only properly varnish their nails, but also even apply patterns of varying complexity to them. But how often do you come across a situation when time is running out, it’s time to go out, but the varnish is not dry at all? We are sure that each of you will remember many such cases. So today we will deal with an important question for any girl: how to quickly dry nails coated with varnish.
Oh, those cosmetics manufacturers! They never tire of surprising us with new products almost every season, including products for high-quality manicure. You go into a boutique to buy nail polish and your eyes widen: which one to choose? It's not even about the color palette and variety of brands. It’s just that now even varnishes have various properties, for example, they strengthen and heal the nail plate, and create a protective layer. And they can dry quickly, and even very quickly. This property is especially interesting to us.
Let's talk in more detail about the different types of varnish that will allow us to create a high-quality manicure as quickly as possible.
Note! The drying speed of the varnish may also depend on its pigmentation. Saturated matte products dry longer, and those containing pearlescent or glossy pigments dry 2-3 times faster.
At home, we use regular and quick-drying varnishes, as well as intensifying varnishes. And what is the secret of their quick drying? It's very simple: in the thickness of the layer with which you apply the polish to the nail. A thick layer takes a very long time to dry, and if you apply another one on top of it, the manicure risks being completely ruined. Therefore, here is your first piece of advice: apply any varnish in a thin layer, wait until it dries, and then paint again, just as thinly and carefully.
Apply a thin layer of polish to your nails and wait until it dries completely.
Advanced fashionistas use all the possibilities of technological progress, including when it comes to manicure. Fortunately, manufacturers of cosmetic products and related products offer many ways to quickly dry nail polish, namely:
All of them are great for regular polishes that you use most often at home. Such products will help fast-drying varnishes harden even faster if you have very little time. Let's take a closer look at them.
The way to use this clearcoat-like product is very simple: apply one thin layer to a slightly dry color coat and wait 3-5 minutes. The varnish will not only harden quickly, but will acquire a glossy shine and additional durability. Now you can easily buy varnish drying in the same place as regular varnish. The most important thing is to choose products from a trusted manufacturer.
Due to their ease of use and effectiveness, spray drying has become very popular. A simple spray bottle containing an oil-based liquid will help you make your manicure dry much faster. Spray your newly painted nails with the spray until the moisture covers each finger and wait 5-7 minutes.
In addition to the quick hardening of the varnish, you get another undoubted advantage: the product cares for the cuticle and skin of the hands. True, spray drying does not affect the durability of the coating and its durability, but this drawback can be neglected.
Manicurists have long appreciated the effectiveness and benefits of oil dryers, and now you can use them at home without professional help. If you see a small bottle with a dropper cap in the manicure accessories department, feel free to grab it.
The product is applied 1 drop to each nail almost immediately after painting with varnish. The oil spreads, covering the nail plate with a thin film, and dries the polish in 2-3 minutes. In addition, it simultaneously cares for the skin of your fingers. The more often you use this product, the fewer hangnails you will develop.
In nail salons, you've probably seen small fans that run on mains power or AA batteries. Now you can buy them for home use. There are models designed for 2 hands, and there are also smaller ones on which you need to dry your hands one by one. In any case, the method is very simple: place your hands with freshly painted nails under a fan, and wait a couple of minutes until the varnish hardens under a stream of air.
A fan dryer will help you reduce your manicure time if you use gel polish or shellac, and not just the usual coatings.
Until recently, the constant companions of all manicurists were ultraviolet lamps. Currently they are available for sale at a very affordable price. True, they are mainly used for drying gel and shellac coatings. Experience shows that UV lamps do not greatly speed up the curing of regular or quick-drying varnishes.
If for some reason you don’t have special equipment on hand, and you really need to dry the varnish quickly, time-tested folk methods will come to the rescue. Our mothers used them during their youth, when these newfangled sprays, oils, quick-drying coatings and ultraviolet lamps were not a thing!
First of all, it is very important to properly prepare your nails for painting:
After this you can apply varnish. To make it dry faster, choose any of the methods below.
I understand that in order to dry quickly, you need to cover the top with drying, but for some reason they were unsuccessful. From the latter, Lumene drying not only didn’t dry faster, it somehow perversely completely softened the varnish. Moreover, after 5 hours everything was very smudged, as if it had been freshly painted d47.gif Moreover, the varnish is from Rimmel, which should dry in one minute (!) according to the assurances on the bottle (well, this is also not true, of course, but faster than its brothers d060.gif). I also tried using a hairdryer to dry the nail polish icon_mrgreen.gif Yeah, it’s dried out, but it’s not an option for constant use, because the skin on my hands gets very dry.

It is also very important not to paint layer after layer. Paint it with one layer, let it dry, and only then paint your nails with a second layer! It will be much faster than painting right away.
