How long does it take for polish to dry between coats?Updated 8 days ago

Dry time depends on the formula, but waiting a few extra minutes can make a big difference in smoothness and wear.

Long Lasting Polish:

- Wait 5-10 minutes between coats

- Apply 2-3 thin coats for best results

- Feels dry in 5-10 minutes

- Safe for gentle use in about 15-20 minutes

Quick Dry Polish:

- Allow about 1 minute between coats

- Apply thin, even layers

- Feels dry in 1-2 minutes

- Safe for gentle use in about 5 minutes

Pro tip: Thin coats dry faster and help prevent dents, smudges, and bubbling. For your longest-lasting mani, avoid heavy pressure, tight shoes, or hot water for the first hour.
