How to: Get dry nails in 2 seconds

There are a lot of tricks people have for getting dry nails fast, but I've found that what works for me is just using hand cream.

That's right. Hand cream. 

After you've applied your top coat, maybe wait a minute or two (like you would between every coat of nail polish - that helps the drying process, too), then take your hand cream and dab a little bit on each nail and smooth it over the nail. You can then finish rubbing the hand cream into your hands because your nails are dry now. BA BAM.

I do this every time I paint my nails, but this trick is awesome for those moments when you've painted your nails, realize you need to get dressed, and then need to do the pants dance to get your jeans on. (Because it's 3pm, and you've painted your nails but haven't even put on jeans yet). Maybe that's just me though because I've been eating too many pastries here in France. But you get the point. After this you won't mark up your nails instantly after.

Now, you can use cuticle oil or even olive oil to do this. However, I like the hand cream because it works just as well, moisturizes the whole hand (obviously...), and it's not greasy after. If I use the olive oil, I usually have to wash my hands after. 

There are a lot of people that like the freezing water thing or even like to use cooking spray to dry nails. However, the water thing is painful for me, and both of these methods are messy and more of a hassle than I'd like. Hand cream really is the easiest thing.

Hope that was helpful! ;)
