SpaRitual’s Andale Dry & Shine Drops accelerates the dry time of freshly lacquered nails while also adding brilliance to the polish color pigments. The dropper cap distributes a chip-free coat of formula, which should be applied one minute after applying top coat.

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.
