Are you looking for ways to dry gel nail polish without using a UV light? Here are some simple methods that can be effective:
- Ice Water: After applying the polish, dip your nails in ice water for 3-5 minutes. The cold temperature helps harden the polish.
- Quick-Dry Spray: Use a quick-dry spray designed for regular nail polish. These sprays can also work on gel polish to speed up drying time.
- Hair Dryer: Set your hair dryer to a cool setting and gently blow-dry your nails. Avoid warm air as it can ruin the gel polish finish.
- Thin Layers: Apply thin layers of gel polish. Thinner coats dry faster and are less likely to smudge.
