I love having my nails painted, but I am always either too impatient or too busy to wait for them to dry. So, I come to you today with one of my
favorite tips ever for doing my nails! I was a little skeptical of this tip at first, but it really works!!
Step One: Remove any nail polish that you have left on your nail using a nail polish remover, and file your nails to your desired shape.
Step two: Apply a base coat. The one i've used is Seche Vite Ridge Filling Basecoat. I am obsessed with this! It gives the nail polish a perfectly smooth and clean surface to be painted on.

Step three/four: Apply one coat of your nail polish to your nail. After letting the first coat dry for a few minutes, apply a second coat. Apply a third coat if the nail polish is sheer, otherwise a third coat probably isn't needed.

Step five: Apply a top coat. The top coat that I like to use is also by Seche Vite, it's the dry fast top coat! This top coat makes your nails look
so shiny it's ridiculous!!

Look at that shine!!! ;) |
Step six: (TIP) Once you've allowed the top coat to dry for about two minutes, run your nails under cold water. Yes, cold water! I know it sounds weird, but the cold water helps the polish dry! About a minute after running your nails under the water, they'll be dry! I would still be careful not to knock in to anything, but for the most part your nails are dry!!
Enjoy!
