Although many girls today prefer to get their nails done in a salon, sometimes you have to paint your nails yourself at home.

As they say, according to Murphy's Law, often the fair sex applies nail polish at the last minute before going out.

Therefore, information on how to quickly dry nails without a special lamp (which, by the way, we will share with you in this article) will remain relevant for a long time.

All you need to do is soak your hands with freshly painted nails in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes, adding a few ice cubes.

In cold water, the varnish will dry faster than in the air. This life hack has been tested by girls all over the world.

Why lick your finger, you ask.

In turn, this trick will help out if you accidentally caught something with a freshly painted nail and the polish smudged. While it is still wet, just quickly lick it and smooth it with your finger.

For particularly difficult cases, you can wet your finger with nail polish remover and gently “massage” the coating. Finally, apply clear polish to the entire nail for a smooth finish.
