Why is it that they say nail polish will dry in 60 seconds?

Because it doesnt, hours later you still get marks on them, even if you put the 60 second nail polish hardener on!





Thanks in advance for all answers!Why is it that they say nail polish will dry in 60 seconds?
Welcome to marketing.Why is it that they say nail polish will dry in 60 seconds?
I've always wondered that [:


I'm always painting my nails, and i'm so clumsy i always forget there still wet and smudge them, so annoying. So i brought rimmel's 60 seconds one, and it definitely doesn't do what it says, if you put a real thin coat on, it kinda does, still takes a while though, and you have to give it more coats to stop it seeing the nail. It chips real quick too so you know :/

i think the '60 second' thing is just that it it 'touch dry' in 60 seconds (even tho it usually isn't!). Nail polish actually takes 24 hours to fully dry. I would suggest that when you paint nails, to apply base and top coat and invest in a polish drying spray. You spray it on your nails after the top coat and this will make them fairly dry.
dont know dont use it but paint which is nail polish sort off needs longer it is the solvent that drys not the colurs etc that is in it
You are most likely putting it on too thick (each coast should be so thin it is translucent...that's why we use 2 coats! Also, 60 seconds means dry to the touch, not totally dry
