Love doing your nails but hate waiting for what seems lightyears for them to dry? Well today’s Humpday Helper is handy dandy drying drops! I was introduced to these bad boys by my manicurists who uses the OPI Drip Dry Drying Drops (say that 5 times fast!) on me. I still wait at the salon for a couple of minutes and then act as if I’m Edward Scissorhands for another 10 minutes (hopefully you have a nice visual there of me looking like an idiot), but I’m probably way more cautious than I need to be because these drops truly do reduce the drying time needed after freshly painted nails.
Just paint your paws as usual: base coat, two coats of desired polish, top coat (currently loving my Nails Inc Kensinton Caivar, both Base and Top Coats, fyi). Then just wait about a minute and then apply a drop on each nail. Your nails will be dry to the touch in 60 seconds; thoroughly dry in 5 minutes or less! Magical!
You can also try the Nicole by OPI Drying Drops, Essie Quick-E Drying Drops, Sephora by OPI Drying Drops, Nail Tek 10 Speed Polish Drying Drops, and more!
Stay dry!
