A quick dry top coat like this one helps to seal the polish in a shiny coat but also aids it in drying. Seche Vite goes a step further and helps turn your polish into a single coat of polish that becomes hard and super glossy. After applying wait a few minutes and your polish is touch dry and you can carefully resume your normal activities ten minutes more and its touch, bump and bedsheets proof.

Nail polish drying drops help to dry the surface of the nail. They feel like an oily substance and evaporate quickly leaving nails dryer and cuticles looking refreshed. Using the dropper provided a drip of a drop or two of a product like the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Dry & Go Drops on the cuticle and allow to slide down the nail surface and you’re good to go. The Revitanail instant dry drops are also a great product and have a squeezy dropper on the end that helps prevent spills.

Lots of nail polish brands have released quicker drying formulas. This one by Rimmel boasts a 60 second dry time. Note that this is not usually a complete dry but touch dry but is good enough if you’re able to be careful (i.e. not rummaging around in your handbag for your keys) The dry time is significantly lower though and is completely dry within ten minutes.

And then there are those “life hacks” that help you get out the door quicker.

Using simple aerosol cooking spray found in most kitchens works in a similar fashion to the nail dry drops.  Once your nails are done spray a light coat of oil to the tips of your nails and wait five minutes and you’re good to go.
