I would suggest a spray-on or drip-on speed drying product. Also, don’t put the nails under the dryer too soon or you’ll wind up with “skinning,” the fast drying of the top layer while the underneath is still wet. — Paul Bryson is director of research and development at OPI.
To dry nails quickly, I use a Fast Dry Top Coat from Seche. I find it dries fast and stays for a long time. — Wilson Vien is product manager at La Rose Nail Spa in San Rafael, Calif.

The only thing that seems to work is having her scrub her nails before polishing. The last time she had her nails polished, the bubbles formed a strip right in the center of her thumb nail, and on the rest of her nails the bubbles were all over.
