You should totally look into ColorStreet nail polish strips. I have a friend who sells them and they would eliminate allllllll of your nail drying woes while still giving you beautiful real painted nails. The only restrictions are to avoid soaking your nails in water for like 20m after application. I’ve literally changed a diaper immediately after I applied them and has 0 issues! I will say the application process may take a time or 2 to perfect but even so it’s soooo easy and there is virtually no drying time. Just do a quick google search and look into it for 60 seconds and see if it’s something worth trying.
Thanks, Stevi! Great tip!
