I always go through a mental checklist before painting my nails. Do I have to hand wash any dishes? Am I going to need a snack in the near future? Will I want to change clothes any time soon? These things probably seem like they have nothing do with giving yourself an at-home manicure, but they have everything to do with an at-home manicure.
All of the above tasks have smudged my nails, regardless of how long I’ve waited for them to dry before touching anything in my apartment. That is, until I tried Orly’s Sec N’ Dry Quick-Dry Topcoat. Like the name implies, this top coat promises to deep dry layers of nail polish fast, and protect your manicure from chipping.
Since I’ve tried a number of top coats that promise to prevent smudging (and failing), I always go into trying a quick dry formula with low expectations. However, I stand corrected.
When I used this Orly one for the first time, I applied a thin layer to my freshly-painted sage green nails and waited five minutes max before attempting do anything with my hands again.
