To check if your nail polish is still dry without touching it, try these methods:
- Cold Water Trick: After waiting a few minutes, dunk your nails in a bowl of cold water for a minute. If the polish wrinkles, it’s still wet. If it stays smooth, you’re good to go.
- Blow Test: Lightly blow on your nails. If they feel cool, they’re probably dry. If they still feel sticky, give them more time.
- Smell Test: Fresh nail polish has a strong smell. As it dries, the smell fades. If you can’t smell it anymore, it’s likely dry.
I hope these tricks can help you avoid messing up your fresh manicure!
