Nothing complements an outfit like beautifully manicured nails – but waiting for them to dry can be particularly tedious. With kids to run after, jobs to go to and chores to finish, it is important your nails dry quickly in order for you to get on with things.
 
Here are five tricks that will dry your nails in no time at all:
 
Apply thin coats
A thick layer of polish takes ages to dry so make sure you apply thin layers. If you want a deeper colour, build it up with thin layers, but make sure each one is dry before putting more polish on it.
 
Bowl of water
If you can bear the cold, dip your tips into a bowl of ice cold water. You won’t be able to do this straight away, so wait at least five minutes. However, it will quickly dry any stubborn sections that just refuse to dry. If you are in a really big hurry, go straight to the freezer.
 
Use the hairdryer
Using the hairdryer to blast your nails dry is one of the most effective ways to get them to dry faster.
 
Cooking oil
Apply a coat of oil to your nails to help them dry that bit quicker. Leave for about two minutes before washing the oil from your hands.
 
Fast-drying top coat
A fast-drying top coat will help to make your nails dry quicker. It will also help to prevent chipping.
