Fast Freeze Quick Dry Spray from China Glaze is a great addition to any manicure. The liquid dries nail polish in seconds and can be used over top coats as well. Available in a 2-fl.-oz. spray bottle and a 4-fl.-oz. refill bottle, this item is ideal for salons and manicurists on the go.
CND’s SolarSpeed Spray serves a dual purpose: to moisturize cuticles and accelerate the drying process. In a matter of minutes, the spray draws out solvents from the enamel layers for a faster set and keeps nail enhancements and natural nails tough and flexible. Jojoba, vitamin E, and sweet almond oils penetrate the skin.
If your client doesn’t have time to wait for her polish to dry, apply one to two drops of Essie’s Quick-E Drying Drops on freshly polished nails to reduce wait time. This formula sets nails in seconds and contains silicone to add shine and protect nails from smudges, nicks, and scratches.
EzFlow’s Spray-It Activator is super-fast with a mere 15-second dry-time. It’s also a safer solution for salons; according to the company, Spray-It Activator is free of chemicals hazardous to the environment. For best results, hold the sprayer eight to 10 inches away from your client’s nails; don’t overspray.
In just one minute, Jessica Cosmetics’ Quick Dry 60-
second Drying Drops produce special film formers that protect a fresh manicure and pedicure from scratching, smudging, and wrinkling. Apply one drop to each nail, and an easy-to-use dropper applicator allows oil to coat the entire nail bed.
With LCN’s DropDry, containing vitamin E and inchi oil, polish is sealed and cuticles are nourished. Wait 60 seconds after fresh polish is applied, and then put one or two drops of DropDry on the nail. Only 90 seconds later, the nail polish is smear-proof and after five minutes, the polish is thoroughly dry.
Drop-N-Go by Premium Nails quickly dries polish to the touch in 45 seconds, and more thoroughly in four minutes or less. Cuticles are nourished with antioxidants, vitamins, and sweet almond oil. The product releases zero VOCs or airborne particles.
High-speed polish-drying drops and sprays give a whole new meaning to the expression, “It’s like watching paint dry.” Within minutes and sometimes even seconds after application, manicures and pedicures become dry to the touch. And better yet, these formulas are designed to help decrease chipping and denting too. It’s a particularly good solution for clients on the go, or those with a history of early smudging.
