Answer 5

every nailpolish is different. some are made to dry fast. when your nails start to feel lighter, then they are dry. i know it sounds crazy but as soon as i dont feel the weight of the polish, i know they are ok.

heres a tip, if you need them to dry ASAP- wait like 30-60 seconds after applying, turn on the faucet in your bathroom to very, very cold, like ice cold. hold your hands, palm down and let the cold water hit your hands and flow down over your fingernails (dont put them straight under the water as the pressure will cause the paint to move). the water has to be very cold, but it will speed up the drying process and your nails will be done in no time. i do it all the time! also a bowl filled with cold water & ice works.

Answer 6

Depends on the brand and how many coats you do at a time.If your not in a rush you do 1 coat of clear wait 5min. and the do a second coat of your color choice then another 5min. you apply third color and finish with clear coat.All in all I give 25-30min. .  

Answer 7

well it depends how many coats you put on. one thin coat probably 5 mins but if it's a light color and you need to put on more then one coat-anywhere from 10-20 mins.

Answer 8

10-15 minutes

Answer 11

Answer 12

to be completely safe from smudging you should wait a maximum of 30 minutes and for faster drying, run your nails under cold, running, tap water ;)

Answer 13

20mins is a good time to wait before you start touching/moving around again. Its also good to spary a quick dry and chip resitance on as well.  

Answer 14

It depends not only on the nail polish, but how many layers you use. I usually try and give myself 30 minutes without touching much, or doing anything, just to be sure that the polish is dry.
