($3.99) claims to do just that. But the nail-care experts
aren’t convinced. “I would have my doubts,” says Sarah
Scotton, owner of Tie Sanctuary Esthetic Studio in
Parkgate Village. While polish may “set” in under five min-
utes, it still may take as long as 20 minutes till it dries right
through, she says. Nail technician Lesli Hilton says some
polishes can take up to an hour to dry, A single coat of
clear nail potish will dry faster than a proper manicure,
which consists of base coat, two coats of polish and a top

coat. Plunging nails in ice
water or mineral oil
miay speed up the dry-
ing process, but both
experts agree that a
five-minute time-out
works best. “If

you want to

have the per-

fect polish,

you can’t

go delving

into hand-

bags to get

keys right

away,” says

Scotton.
