Using Cold Water to Dry Your Press-On Nails Quickly
One effective method to accelerate the drying of press-on nail adhesive is to use a cold water bath. This technique helps the adhesive set faster, leading to quicker drying and reduced risk of smudging or displacement.
How to Do an Ice Bath for Your Nails
Here's a step-by-step guide to using an ice bath for faster drying:
- Prepare a Bowl: Fill a bowl with cold water.
- Add Ice: Drop a few ice cubes into the bowl to make the water extra cold.
- Submerge Your Nails: Gently place your fingers, with the newly applied press-on nails, into the ice water bath.
- Soak for a Few Minutes: Keep your nails submerged for approximately 5 minutes.
This method from the reference can significantly reduce the time it takes for the press-on nail adhesive to dry completely, ensuring a more secure and faster finish.
