There are some popular methods for the quick drying of painted marigolds.
After all, it also happens that there is no special means or device for this at the moment, and there is also no waiting time. This is where simple and proven methods come in handy:
- Just find somewhere a stream of cold air (wind outside the window, a working air conditioner or a fan - so the coating on the nails will dry out faster.
- Make an ice bath.To do this, before applying the lacquer, prepare a container that is suitable in depth and size (so that both hands can fit into it). This container should not be afraid of low temperature and freezing. This may be a metal container, but it will be very unpleasant to touch it cold with your hands. It is better to use plastic dishes - it is resistant to cold, and it will be more comfortable to work with it.
In general, such dishes you should have for manicure separately, so that it does not happen that you will dip the varnish and prepare the food.
In the tank you need to pour cold (but not ice) water, send whole, not crushed, pieces of ice (approximately one glass) to the same place. Now, place the container with the prepared water in the refrigerator (but not in the freezer) and you can proceed to applying nail polish on your nails.
In the same case, if you intend to devote to nail design for at least another hour, it is better to put water in the freezer. Just do not freeze it at all - then it will not work with quick drying.
When the procedure of applying paint is behind, carefully, so as not to grease any of the nails, remove the prepared container from the refrigerator or from the freezer. If possible, ask someone from the household to do it.
The surface on which you will install the water tank should be flat. If it is a wooden table, place a soft napkin or towel between it and the container (this is done so that water rings do not form on the surface).
Hands in the water should be placed slowly, making sure that the nails do not touch each other and that the varnish is not smeared on the surface of the container. If the size of the dishes allows, immerse both hands at once, if not, one by one.
Now you have to stand your hands in cold water for about three minutes. - The procedure, of course, is not pleasant, but the idea that this varnish dries quickly should warm you up. Having taken frozen, but beautiful hands out of icy water, put them on a towel and lightly touch the varnish to make sure that everything is in order - the varnish has stiffened and it was not in vain. If, when touched, the coating on the nail plate turned out to be hard - the way it is.
In principle, when you get your hands out of the water, you can already visually be able to determine that the varnish is dry (even if such a statement sounds strange, but you will be convinced of this).
Now you can safely wipe your hands dry and please the frozen palms with your favorite cream or lotion.
Other methods:
- You can use, for example, a pneumatic cleaner. Until now, you remembered about it only when you were going to tidy up the keyboard, but it turns out that a nail polish can be dried very quickly on nails with a cleaner or can of compressed air. You just need to be careful when working with compressed air and keep a can in thirty centimeters from the nail surface.
- You can recall the hair dryer, because there is a cold mode (under the hot stream, the coating bubbles), and a cold stream of air can be used to dry the varnish. Just do not set the speed too high, and then still get the waves on the nail plate instead of a smooth manicure.
- If you have olive oil spraywhich you use for culinary purposes - it also helps to dry nails. Some of this oil should be sprayed onto the lacquer. This method of drying may not seem completely clear, but it has been verified that it is effective, and this is evidenced by many reviews of girls who used this very method of drying. Here you should also spray the oil from a distance of up to thirty centimeters, otherwise the power of the aerosol can also spoil the overall picture.
Some tips
