Regular nail polish or fast drying?  email this discussion to a friend?

I use the fast drying like Express Finish from Maybelline. I don't like to have to wait a half a day to have the polish dry. Which do you prefer? Do you think the regular is longer lasting or about the same as the express finish?

I am very busy. I need something thats going to work fast. So i prefer the fast drying.

I am glad they invented it!

I also like it cause my daughter paints her nails. And you know children they can't sit still very long. So definately the faster the better.

Definitely fast drying. Like you said, I just don't have time to sit and blow on them for an hour. I don't polish mine a lot any more and that is one of the reasons. The other main reason is that my hands are in water so much with cleaning and such It just doesn't last. Some times a top coat helps but it just seems such a waste of time anymore.
Guess I am getting old. LOL

I keep my nails manicured with acrylic so never have to do them again.
I hate doing my nails.
I know that as a woman I am supposed to like doing all those things but to tell you the truth I used to just let them go,,,clean under them,,,but never polish them.
Than I met Jeff and he likes them done so I go and get them done. Susan

That is a very good reason to have them done! I would too!

I've never used a fast drying finish. What I do is paint my nails, two coats and sometimes three, just before going to bed. By morning they look great and are totally dry. I'm always doing something with my hands throughout the day so polishing them during the day would be dangerous. These 2 or 3 coats will last as long as two weeks without any touch up.


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (17687)   ranked 1 out of 1,689 in beauty  5 years ago

I don't have alot of time...work full time and write etc. so I need something quick! LOL...


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7670)  5 years ago

I certainly understand. Guess I need to buy some of the fast drying and see if I like it. Thanks.

I normally just buy fast drying. But I don't paint my nails much so it don't matter much.


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (17687)   ranked 1 out of 1,689 in beauty  5 years ago

I do like the fast drying....there much less room for error too as it dries so quickly!

I like the fast drying nail polish as well. Personally I think the regular does last longer. I have a couple of bottles of the regular but in special shades. Even when I use them though I put a top coat of clear fast drying polish.


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (17687)   ranked 1 out of 1,689 in beauty  5 years ago

That's a good idea...I do it just the opposite! Use the express for the color and regular top coat so I might have to get some of the express top coat! Thanks~!

Yes I definitely prefer the fast drying nail polish. It doesn't make sense to wait around for your nails to dry. Oh my gosh I used to blow dry them and run ice cold water over them to try and get them dry. The very best fast drying nail polish that I have found is the speed dry nail polish by Avon. It's inexpensive when on sale at $2.50 a bottle and they have every color under the sun! This polish is gorgeous! It stays on for weeks!


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (17687)   ranked 1 out of 1,689 in beauty  5 years ago

I'll have to check that out. One of the girls I work with sells Avon! Thanks!

i'm not really aware of nail polish brands, which brand is better and which is not. i usually buy nail polish according to the packaging. ^__^;; since there are many nail polish brands displayed in malls and stores, i would compare the packaging and i would pick the brand with the nice packaging, color and print in the bottle. LOL so far, the brands that i have bought dries up to 15minutes. it takes long but i can take it. ^__^;; and it really depends on how i take care of my polish if it would last for a week or only for days. ^__^

Sometimes mine doesn't last that long! Depends on what I am doing! Thanks for posting.

I use both. I have one of those nail dryers that seems to be that I have had forever. I think they work great. I spend about 15 minutes with it and the polish dries pretty fast. You can use it for feet as well as hands.
