1) Dipping them in cold water
2) Blow drying them
3) Under a heater
Any other techniques you have ?What is the quickest way to dry nail polish we out chipping ?
Water...the others are too warm.What is the quickest way to dry nail polish we out chipping ?
To prevent chipping the best way is to use cool air, on the market now you can buy them so that when you but your hand on the pad cold air is blown. some people use cold air from a hair dryer but it isn't really cold enough.
i suppose the best way is to just let them dry naturally if you have the time and the patients.
Try spraying hairspray on them but from a distance.
you can also buy products which make them dry really fast like:

if u have ever been to a nail salon b4 they have that light they sit u under and im sure u can buy that from a beauty supply store and there is also a spray they use and u should b able to get it there too.good luck
Remember what they do at the salon? The lights? Do it at home with any regular bulb. Put hands close to the bulb (watch out you don't burn) and wait 3 mins. Voila!
spin around in a circle with your arms out.
duh
;P
i do this, turn my blow dryer on cold and blow dry em it works all the time when im in a hurry.
put the nail varnish in the fridge for up to one hour before applying, speeds drying time to about 5 mins
Hair dryer on a cold setting.
I always use a hair dryer to help and it drys them very fast!
hair dryer with a warm setting on low.
works great!

How do I get nail polish out of clothes?
So I spilled red nail polish on one of my favorite shirts %26amp; I can't get it out!
Any ideas?How do I get nail polish out of clothes?
Yes, you might have luck with nail polish remover and use a brush to scrub at it.
Good luck to you!How do I get nail polish out of clothes?
* Wipe Away Excess Polish. If the spill is fresh, carefully wipe away the excess polish with a paper towel or old cloth. There will probably be a stain left behind on the fabric that you will now need to work on removing.
* Use Nail Polish Remover. It might seem like an obvious idea, but you might not think to try nail polish remover on your clothing. While the remover can be a bit harsh on clothes, the fabric should be okay if you only use a little on the spot. If you are nervous about it, test the nail polish remover on an inconspicuous spot. To get the spot out, dab a paper towel or cotton ball with some polish remover onto the spot to lift it up. You might want to try a non-acetone remover since it could be less harsh. Don't use bleach.
* Bug Spray or Hair Spray. It may be strange, but many people have found this to work. If the polish remover doesn't seem to work, use a tooth brush and some bug spray and hair spray to scrub out the stain.
* Try a Special Cleaner. If nail polish remover or bug spray doesn't do the trick, you may want to try a cleaner made especially for this type of stain. You should be able to find these at your local store. Follow the directions carefully. You might also have luck with prewash sprays like Spray and Wash.
* Rinse and Wash. Once you have removed the stain, rinse with water and then throw in the wash.
If one method doesn't seem to work, try different ones until the stain is gone. It is likely that at least one cleaning method will do the trick. If the stain absolutely won't come out, take the garment to a professional cleaner's.
Depending on the color of the clothing, try nail polish remover if it doesn't come out soak the stained are in the polish remover for a minute or two and then machine wash.
OR
Try bug spray, Off Skintastic, Motsenbocker's Lift Off #3, or a can of acetone (and some Oxy Clean for washing afterward). I tried the bug repellent on one spot of the comforter and then Motsenbocker's on another. The bug repellent seemed to lighten the stain, but the Motsenbocker's was actually LIFTING the stain off of the fabric, so I switched to that. I had to spray, blot, and rub the spot with a soft-bristled toothbrush about 25-30 times, but IT COMPLETELY CAME OUT.If you use Motsenbocker's make sure you have a towel or something absorbent under whatever you are cleaning to catch the stain dripping through from the other side! if this doesn't work try the bug spray!!
Try hairspray. May have to spray and rub several times. Do this right before you wash it.

What nail polish is good to wear at the momment?
Hi I'm blonde hair with a lightish tan skin wot colour nail polish is good that I can wear and what is the in colour to be weaing at the Moment?What nail polish is good to wear at the momment?
pretty much any color. i'm really into navy blue at the moment (:What nail polish is good to wear at the momment?
Gray is the new black in nail polish, and I think this will make a beautiful contrast with your skin. Some other trendy colors you can wear are navy blue and purple for fall. Colors like red, pale pink, french tip are all classic looks that will never go out of style.
My personal favorite is white and bright yellow.
Good luck and hope my answer helped you
Well, it all depends on your age or style. If you are a teenager, these are good colors. Go with something totally cool or pretty. Sometimes, I paint my toenails red and draw a white heart on the big toes, and poka dots on the others with white. Other days, I do a manicure with a flower. Sometimes, Go with two neon colors like hot pink and neon green. If your good at painting your nails, or know someone who is, try painting them yellow and use black to draw a smiley face.
Reds are certainly popular currently. I also like a grey nail polish by Barry M, it's a little bit different but if you can pull it off it looks great with many outfits.
The best colours for Fall are red and purple. I'd recommend lighter shades if you're blonde, unless you're going for a dramatic evening look.
reds are always good. gold is also really in style right now.
neutrals are good for lightish tan skin. so are purples.
gold !
it matches just about everything in your body !
welp im blonde too and in the fall i wear sparkly pink or dark orange :)
ooh what i like in the fall is red! it looks great with blondes!!!!!!!

take a look at this customized solution for fingernail polish. It's worked great for us in the past

I did that once, on my mum's best rug. In the end, I took a pair of scissors and snipped out the stiff bits, then I took bits I'd snipped from under the couch where it wouldn't show and glued them in place. Unless she reads this, she still doesn't know, and I left home years ago.

What's a good nail polish that wont chip the day after my manicure?
I'm so sick of using the nail polish at the nail salon; they water it down and it makes my manicure chip within 2 days.
Can anyone suggest a good nail polish brand that will last?What's a good nail polish that wont chip the day after my manicure?
OPI is good, along with Fingerpaints, Savvy, Orly, Rush, and Nina Ultra Pro.
These are the brands that they use in the salons. You can buy them in the salons for 8 or 9 dollars, or you can go to Sally Beauty Supply and buy it for like 5 dollars. Sally is the greatest, they have all the stuff that the pros use.What's a good nail polish that wont chip the day after my manicure?
I ask my nail place if I can keep the nail polish for the week (or 2) -- either trade them a color of mine or leave $5 deposit. That way when it chips -- which it inevitably will, I have to color to cover it up!
Use sally hansen diamond strength. It lasts a long time.
Opi chips on me the day I get it done - makes me crazy! I now buy Orly and bring it with me where I get my nails done - it lasts longer and I like having my own bottles in case I need touch ups between manicures.
I've had good luck with the avon brand. If you cant or dont feel like finding an avon represenative the OPI brand is your best bet.
OPI is the best. sally hansen isnt bad either

What is the best way to keep nail polish from chipping?
I've tried base coats, top coats, no coats. What works? I'm so sick of having to repaint my nails every 2 days! Is there some brand that works better than others?What is the best way to keep nail polish from chipping?
You can avoid chipping by making sure the nail is completely free of oils before applying your base coat. A top coat is also essential to give your manicure a longer life. Apply a second coat the next day, and then every second day after on your fingernails, and every week on your toenails.What is the best way to keep nail polish from chipping?
I have better luck with putting 2 coats of clear on the top the 1st day and then a new coat of clear everyday (you can only do this for so long tho) to chip it you have to chip thru the clear 1st. I always buff my natural nail before painting with anything with a VERY fine emory board 1st. Just run it across it a couple of times......NOT MUCH AT ALL. This ';roughs'; the nail up a bit and the base coat will stick better. It still looks and feels smooth.
Unfortunately if you have natural nails, polish just doesn't last long. Try not putting it on to thick and allow it to dry in between coats. You may also try getting them airbrushed, the airbrushing tends to last longer.
I've had very good luck with Seche Vite top coat - it should be available at a beauty supply near you. With my natural nails, it kept a fast dry polish on for almost a week, and a professional manicure stayed set for a whole week.
It's a bit pricy ($8-9), but I've found it well worth the money. :)
put a coat of clear polish on top
get a nail varnish that hardens the cover ...less likely to chip

Is it true that most nail polish and nail polish removers are toxic or carcinogenic?
If so, what are the alternatives for someone who uses nail polish on a daily basis? Thanks.Is it true that most nail polish and nail polish removers are toxic or carcinogenic?
No, they're not. Most nail polishes (OPI, Rimmel, China Glaze, Essie, L'Oreal, NYC, Sally Hansen, etc) are free of the chemicals (toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthlate) that have been associated with cancer. However, even your nail polish contains those chemicals the chances of getting cancer from them is rare. You would have to literally huff your nail polish (if it has those chemicals I've listed) in a non ventilated room repeatedly to be at risk. As long as you're apply your nail polish in a well-ventilated room you should have no problems.
However, I like to play it safe so I opt for polishes free of the chemicals.
