HOW TO DRY YOUR NAIL POLISH SUPER FAST!! (NAIL POLISH 101) || KELLI MARISSA

[@dianehickox8774]

Kelli -- I have the PERFECT nail dry solution! Here it is: I put on my workout clothes, pull my hair back, do my manicure, and then get on the treadmill for 45 minutes. When I'm finished, they're dry!!!! 😁😁😁😁

[@KelliMarissa]

+Diane Hickox omg Diane that's actually AWESOME, and a great way to get yourself active! (Although I'll admit I can't last on the treadmill for more than 30 😅😅) I love it!!!

[@silverandexact]

Caveat: I tried to do this hack, but just jogging outside instead of on a treadmill, and it does not work in any season but winter. Even after 40 minutes in the spring/summer, my nails were still not hard & dry because they never had a chance to cool down to set.

[@camis.1347]

Diane Hickox my nails seem to take 2 he's to fully set & not get dinged. ugh. I wish in 45 mins.

[@maddynicolelee]

If you're using the water method, you need to do it after every coat. If you soak your nails after two or three coats, it will only dry the top layer, which will stop the beneath layers from drying. so be careful with that...

[@KelliMarissa]

+Madison Lee hey Madison! If you follow the previous steps with thin coats, your layers underneath will be dry :)

[@Sharah55]

ohhhh smart!

[@valitsaki]

actually if you wet your nails while paint is not dry yet, your nails may soak up water and expand and the paint dries on the expanded nails, then your nails dry for real (get dehydrated) and polish stars to peel off because it's not tight to your now dehydrated nails.

[@aramadan66]

Did you do your nails today me too

[@robynpryor4394]

I am OBSESSED with black nail polish at the moment. Literally for the past year, I've painted my nails black EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! I use the OPI natural nail base coat, the OPI nail lacquer in lady in black and then the seche vite quick dry top coat. Then, I dip my nails in a sink full of really cold water for a minute or two, dry them off and spray them with the elegant touch rapid dry nail polish spray which is awesome! I find if you spray it when the nails are mostly dry it works really well just to really set them in place. It also has vitamin E which moisturises my cuticles. Highly recommend! xx

[@KelliMarissa]

Thanks for sharing your tips/experience Robyn!

[@wendyoldaker5177]

I use a quick dry top coat and then after waiting 10-15 minutes, I put cuticle oil all over my nails and then go to bed. The cuticle oil protects my nails from dents and smudges! Works so well!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh that's a great tip!!

[@samzetnick4558]

What brands do you use for this?! I’m new to (trying) to do my own nails, so I feel like I have no frame of reference.😅

[@JustScribble]

@@samzetnick4558 there’s a lot of cuticle oils I like. Orly is one - I like their second dry top coat too

[@stephanieyancey4414]

Yep! Cutical oil works great! If I bump or snag or rub a nail, the oil actually works as a buffer/bumper... Ice water, and then oil. Avocado oil, sesame oil, coconut oil... even vegetable oil- Whatever you have in the kitchen- 😊

[@stephanieyancey4414]

BTW Ice water is hardening the nail polish. It doesn't actually dry. But that tip works great!

[@akwillis]

I have had my nails done professionally for almost 15 years, then I finally started doing my own. Most of your tips I totally agree with. There are two products I cannot live without. The first is Seche Vite quick dry top coat - it just works and makes my nails super shine. The last step I use right after that is Quica half time polish drying excellerator drops. This is what keeps my nails from getting wrinkles from the sheets, accidental dings from hitting things. It not only instantly dries the polish, it makes the polish harder, with no weird texture. The one down side, it is quite pricey, but if you are careful, it lasts a really long time. I have had nail techs use all kind of things - and this is the only one that just works.

[@KelliMarissa]

+Angi Willis oh I used to use Seche Vite religiously! I still think it's a great top coat, but I've found several brands have similar formulas without the shrinking that sometimes occurs with SV! I haven't heard of those drying drops but they sound awesome. Will have to look them up :)

Kelli Marissa the quick dry drops that I use to dry my nails is called essence or essences. It has argon oil in it so if the quick dry drops get on your skin it can moisturize your cuticles. These quick dry drops work very well and it takes only about 10 seconds for your nails to dry when you put these drops on it.

[@KelliMarissa]

+ItzMiaNotMya 24 oh I know that brand! They sell it in ULTA, right?

Seche Vite topcoat is my nail polish game changer. Before I found that product my nails would never dry. Now I can achieve salon looking gel effect nails myself, especially now I know how to clean up my sloppy application too. Seche Vite dries your nails in just a couple of minutes which I love as I also run out of patience!

Bought the Cuccio 7 Second Top Coat for $5.99 on Amazon. Got lucky with that price! Applied it today, and all (except the Wet n' Wild polish) dried in 30 minutes! The Wet n' Wild did this accordion thing when I jumped in the shower. Luckily I was able to "gently" push it back in place. Doesn't look great. But the rest do! Can't believe that worked! Thank you!

Sally Hansen’s drying drops actually work great - at least for me - plus, they help moisturize the skin around the nails and the cuticles. You definitely have to follow the directions - waiting at least 60 seconds after top coat and only using 1-2 drops - but that’s worth it for a great finish!

[@KelliMarissa]

Thanks for sharing your experience with them, Kendall!!

[@nvaranavage]

A lot of people I know seem to hate ESSIE nail polish, but I love it. The nail polish and the Good To Go top coat dries wicked fast for regular polish.

[@ggundercover3681]

[@rfldss89]

Dumping your nails in ice water doesn't actually make it dry faster. The nail polish becomes more viscous as it cools which makes it seems like it's dried, but actually now that it's cooled down the solvent will take more time to dry up properly. Maybe what's happening with your tap water trick is actually that the running water is slowly dissolving away the solvent contained in the nail polish.

I primarily paint my toes, so the quick drying thing is super important. I also wear tight climbing shoes, so if they're not dry, they get squished and ruined. I do several fun layers and designs, so I'm gonna try these techniques and definitely buy that fast drying top coat!! I think some of my polishes have gotten thick too, so they haven't been going on in nice thin layers, like you recommend. Gonna pick up some of that thinner you used.

[@jangoguen1253]

Always ran my nails under a cold faucet. Don't remember when I learned that but it absolutely works. Also; I've been using Seche Vite dry fast top coat. Works fast and gives the nails a gel coat look that lasts. :)

[@killerkoolaid192385]

I am not a huge fan of drops either but i did find that works with the kinds of nail polishes I use anyways without changing my texture. Maybe the type combinations matter making it difficult? But it works for me speeds it up. Mine was called Essence (I would in no way recommend their top coats). Would use a different top coat. Setting up the ice water can be annoying for some but yes it certainly works the best out of all methods I have ever tried. Point is there are multiple methods you pick the ones best to you. Depending on how much time i have i pick diff methods. I typically watch a movie or show while doing nails so I have time for multiple methods. The ice bowl method is really not hard if you reuse a cheap dollar store bowl over and over for whenever you want to do this method. I also always have Ice in my freezer on hand for drinks so Obtaining ice when needed is not hard for me either. Find what works for you! Her vid is still great and accurate!

[@Daddy.Snorlax]

Thank you for your videos. They've really helped me, as a dad, to get up to speed. Even though I tell her not to, my daughter (7) often uses her thumb to 'self-test' the dryness of her own nails (think of it as a reverse snapping / flicking motion). Even though she thinks she's being gentle, it's almost always too much force and she ends up dragging the semi-dried paint right off. I can't even 'fix' it at that point, I just have to start over on that nail. Question: If I'm applying a base coat, 2-3 coats of polish, and a top coat, how long should it be before a 7 year old can go off and play? Thanks.

[@aprilianindy3200]

One hour, that's if they're careful not to bump their nails afterward. I don't think they will 😭 And do thin coats. I usually paint my nails before bed. I wait for at least one hour. When I wake up they're completely dry and hard. You know, even if they're dry to touch they're still squishy(?) for hours. Wait. Do most 7 y.o kids now paint their nails? When I was 7 I loved to play in the mud after school. Or riding bicycle and getting bruises, scrapes, and wounds. I was that reckless and wild. It doesn't help that I'm the youngest kid. I think my parents were probably tired of pampering and treating my older sister like a princess, so they let me do whatever I like 😂

In waiting for your coats to dry, I assume they should not be tacky before doing next coat, correct?

[@katefernoliver]

HeyitsGina! Hmmmmm. Wait for layers to dry completely before adding another. Maybe your topcoat is too thick or maybe you're going over it too many times.

[@arianarazi2621]

it happens to me too with the base coat , i tried not to shake at all but the bubbles...ppfff!

[@jennw6809]

There can be incompatibilities between base or top coats and polish, and this can cause bubbling. Also I got bubbles once when using a fan to dry the polish faster, it made it bubble since the surface was drying faster than the underneath.

[@jennw6809]

+ariana razi try a different base coat, it sounds like yours may be incompatible with your polish

Try not to shake the polish before you put it on. Roll the bottle in your hands instead. Using thick coats can also cause bubbles. :)

Lately I've been preferring the Cuccio High Gloss top coat, it's not as quick drying but it is thick and super glossy! I do still use the 7 Second if I'm in a hurry though haha!

[@maureeng4256]

@@KelliMarissa I'm currently using the seche vite gel effect top coat which is very thick but dries fast. Have you tried that?

[@KelliMarissa]

maureen g yes! I actually really enjoy that one too. It's the best quality top coat you can buy in stores! The other top coats I use, I have to buy online!

[@marshmallowcloud.]

😂I literally just finish painting my nails When I got The Notification Also Great video❤️

[@KelliMarissa]

+Kayla Haynes haha perfect timing! ThNks so much as always Kayla :)

[@alyssabrown-carleton6173]

I use the Leighton denny miracle mist. it does feel greasy right after spraying it but it goes away when you wash your hands

[@KelliMarissa]

+Alyssa Brown-Carleton oh I've never heard of that brand! I'll have to look it up :)

[@blairs.d1ary]

Ok I'm SUPER late to this video but OH DID YOU SAVE MY LIFE! I have quite long nails and I decided to do them, but the nail polish wouldn't dry fast enough so I found this video and it helped a lot, thanks:)

[@PhoebeAnastasia]

omg literally same with the cold water, air conditioner, and freezer, you're hilarious I love this video

[@KelliMarissa]

+Phoebe Anastasia haha thanks so much Phoebe! I'm glad you're enjoying :)

[@kitty6720]

I like Orly's quick dry drops, but you need to avoid getting it on your skin because it'll dry it too a bit. I have noted that occasionally I get something like goose bumps on my polish if I touch the water or not. I don't really know why this happens. Also, can I use regular hair dryer to dry my nails (by using the cold regime)?

[@KelliMarissa]

+Kitty I find that my polish gets bubbly if I'm in a warm environment - maybe the water you're using isn't cool enough? And I imagine a cool hair dryer could work!

[@christinacupil7801]

Hey 👋. New to your channel, loving the tips.. with a top dry fast coat do we paint while the polish is still wet or wait for it to dry? Or is that just seche vite that you can top coat over wet polish?

[@KelliMarissa]

Yes, you can use most fast dry top coats while the polish is still wet :)

[@Treesah35]

kelli, where did you get the polish rack behind you? my collection needs organization stat.

[@KelliMarissa]

+TreeStevens my bf actually made it for me! :)

[@fallenangel7710]

You have literally the best tips.

[@KelliMarissa]

+Wätérméløn Ghøst oh this means so much to me! I'm so so happy you like my stuff :)

[@lisawillett7410]

Oh kelli I have a question. So when I put on my base coat, it doesn't feel smooth on every nail. Feels like little bubbles. Only with the base. I use a dehydrater Cuccio, and I wash my hands with soap and water before I even tough anything to do my nails. any suggestions.......ty

[@KelliMarissa]

+Lisa Ratz hey Lisa! I'm not totally sure why that's happening, but I find my polish bubbles up when I'm painting my nails in a hot room - it's much better to do your nails in a cooler temperature!

[@lisawillett7410]

that could be.....Usually my living room is cooler cause I am always hot.....BUT those few times that happened my husband was sick, and the heat was turned up. That makes sense. It didn't happen this last time I painted my nails...The cuccio 3 in 1 base coat is awesome. It's not shiny and it's really making my polish stay on long....love it!!!!

[@mariabello3203]

I'm loving your hair! 💜

[@KelliMarissa]

+Maria Bello thanks so much Maria!

[@elisabethwest4305]

Ha! And I'm watching this at 9:30 in pj's 😋 I'd like to know what kind of nail fan you have if you use it often. I like the tip about stinking your hands in the freezer, I tend to open and stand in the doorway of the freezer anyway on hot days, might as well dry my nails at the same time! 😜 as always I love your videos and humor, thank you for sharing!

[@KelliMarissa]

+Elisabeth West hey Elisabeth! I believe it's called Belson? (Sorry, I have it in the description but I'm on mobile app so I can't see it haha) And your nails are a totally good excuse to stick your head in the freezer on a hot day LOL that's my favorite!!

[@momnmebeauty5706]

Thank you for the video!!!!! I've known that you need to use super thin costs, but it really, really help to be reminded of this tip. Can you review the Sensational Polish to Gel? I found it at Target and I've been using it for several months instead of HydraCol, but I don't know if it works better or worse than your recommendation.

[@KelliMarissa]

+MomNMe Beauty hey, glad you enjoyed! Is it a top coat? I haven't heard of it!

[@momnmebeauty5706]

It can be used as either a top coat or a mix-in with regular polish, but either way needs to be cured with an LED light. I remember the video you did where you talked about Hydracol, and the very next day I found the SensatioNail in Target.

[@Skyehye3113]

Kelly you need to do a best silver nail polishes video

[@angelfrye7876]

Where did you get your wooden nail polish carousel stand? I been looking for one forever and can't find anything like it. Thank you..

[@KelliMarissa]

My ex built it for me!

[@alejandrajazmingiacosa1615]

I use the freezer trick. Totally works!

[@KelliMarissa]

It's great haha!

[@demi191]

Quick dry top coat plus dry drops are a must. Been loving morgan taylor accelerate quick dry drops. Yet you gotta angle your nail downward because if you have your hand resting flat on a table the drop could bounce right off! So strange.

[@KelliMarissa]

+Demetria Thomas haha I haven't heard that! I don't use much Morgan Taylor but I didn't know they have drying drops. Will have to check it out!

[@KassMcCormack]

My tricks are to always have the AC blasting when I do my nails (even in winter because it's Southern California and it never really gets that cold) so the air around me gets as cold as possible (and sometimes I'll have a couple fans set up for good measure) to help the polish dry as fast as possible, between coats I'll scroll through tumblr or youtube or read an article on my laptop, and when doing nail art I always use a timer for the top coat (set to no less than 15 minutes but usually closer to 30 just to be safe) or I'll watch a movie or TV show between the top coat and the art just to be sure it's dry and to help make the time go faster.

[@KelliMarissa]

+Taylor Romano those are great tips, Taylor! I like to watch Netflix or KZbin while I'm painting so I don't feel like it's so long of a wait between coats :)

[@raynathompson]

@taylor romano

[@raynathompson]

Taylor Romano Great tip about the timer, I should do that on each layer. I also watch tv, read a book, play a game on my phone, check out Instagram, etc while my polish dries. It also helps to do cuticle cleanup between layers because 1) it's easier before the layer totally dries and 2) it gives time for the layer to dry. LOL

[@kellyv3448]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sally Hansen Insta Dry Top Coat! Plus I use a $29.99 UV light I bought from Rite Aid. I use the in between coats and at the end of course. Nails dry so quick!! No more lying like a mummy to prevent sheet wrinkles!

[@KelliMarissa]

They are a great brand!

[@Creppycookies]

I'm about to do the freezer and the water one or maybe go outside when is cold 😅 Helpful video btw and love your hair and makeup ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KelliMarissa]

Thanks so much haha!

[@Creppycookies]

Kelli Marissa You're very welcome 💖💖

[@carolinejones5924]

Great video what brand and color is dis. I need it asap.

[@KelliMarissa]

+Caroline Boler hey Caroline, I’m sorry I’m not too sure!

[@VMoss187]

I would love to know how you get that hair color!! I have light brown/reddish hair and have been DYEing (haha! get it?) to put multiple colors in my hair, but my hair cannot take bleach. It doesn't look like you used any bleach on your hair, am I right? Any suggestions??

[@KelliMarissa]

+Victoria Moss hey Victoria! I actually got this professionally done, but they did use a "lightener" which I'm guessing is bleach to lighten my hair haha. But they did a treatment on my hair so it wouldn't get damaged!

[@VMoss187]

Ah ok. Yeah that makes more sense. Thanks for the info! BTW, I very recently came across your nail videos and now I'm obsessed! I don't think I've been this excited about painting my nails since I was in middle school (a very long time ago.). LOL! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us! :)

[@shellbug3100]

I know this is an old vid, but can I use a quick dry top coat between layers to dry faster?

[@KelliMarissa]

You could, but it'll end up a bit thick! You don't have to wait for each coat to fully dry before applying the next coat for regular manicures tho :)

[@sugahbabydoll1]

I love Sally's Instadry polish when I'm really in a rush.

[@KelliMarissa]

+Sue D'Alessandro thanks for sharing Sue!

[@michelletill7957]

Over the years I have managed to do a few of the quick dry ideas , but as always you have given me some new ones ! I'm still in my purple faze , bit worried as it's been months now lol

[@KelliMarissa]

+Michelle Till hahaha I think my purple phase might last a long time too! Glad you enjoyed the vid :)

[@DebraQuenqua]

hi, love your videos. what product you use on your hair? do you strip out the color first? Love it!

[@KelliMarissa]

+Debra Quenqua hey, thanks Debra! I actually got my hair done at a salon, but they did bleach my hair first :) I think the color brand was Joico!

[@DebraQuenqua]

Thanks! I'm so attracted to this style. But my daughter keeps telling me that I'm too old to get it done. Oh well, I'll just rock my nails!

[@KelliMarissa]

Debra Quenqua no way Debra! I totally disagree, you can have funky hair at any age! My mom used to have dark purple hair and I thought it was the coolest haha!

[@DebraQuenqua]

Thanks Kelli! I think I might need to get some color on my locks, lol! I'm 60 but certainly not ready to give up my style.
