nail plate swelling due to soaking - how long to 'dry'?

[ValencianNails]

ok ok... so I was a bit stupid and did quite a bit of washing up without gloves on (with naked nails) ......

how long does it take after 'soaking' natural nails for them to be 'dry' enough to apply enhancements?

TIA :hug:

I'd say at least 24 hours (only cos I know you don't want to do them) but I'd be interested to know the answer to this one

Give them 24 hours with good lashings of solar oil in between

You don't have to wait as long as 24 hours.

Prep as normal, and apply Nail Fresh. Then dry thoroughly with a hair dryer (30 seconds or so ... apply Scrub Fresh and away you go.

Thanks Gigi, had no idea it could be this quick.
That means Sandi has to do hers tonight:green::green::green:

Could you also use your UV lamp for a minute instead of the dryer? Was told this before, but have never tried it....
