Yes, nail polish fans can work to help dry nail polish faster and reduce the risk of smudging.
While they might not dry polish instantly, these small fans provide a consistent airflow that aids in the evaporation of solvents in nail polish, which speeds up the drying process. The benefit extends beyond just speed; a gentle breeze minimizes the chances of accidentally nicking or smudging freshly applied polish, a common frustration for many. As one review notes, "It is so simple and yet works great!" making them a worthwhile tool for at-home manicures.
