Query by Alisha: What chemical in nail polish makes it dry?
I have this “print” nail polish (stamp). I used the white one for White tips. Its turned out okay. It will not dry! I used the same thing for the fourth of July… it never dried and the worst part is, it got almost all over my pillow. I have tried alot of things. So I was thinking if I added that “drying” chemical to it. It would dry much faster. By the way, I can’t purchase clear or base coat nail polish… Don’t ask why please.

Acetone is the solvent in nail polish that makes it dry fast

There is an artist’s mterial called Japan drier which may be what you thinking of. Cobalt is the element which does the drying. But I don’t know if it would work with nail polish or that nail polish has a drier in it. If it doesn’t dry it must be defective.

I agree with the cooking oil post. A lady actually did that for me at the salon. (Weirdest salon ever though, I haven’t gone back).
However the best thing that works for me with nailpolish that doesn’t dry is to carefully put them under freezing cold water just for a little bit. Then if you can bear to leave them in front of a fan for a couple of minutes after that they should be hard as a rock!
After I do all that it usually takes an extra half hour before my nails are completely dry.
Have any idea better?
