Yes, When applied, after 5 minutes it is completely dry. I notice that if I make my manicure and use Seche Vite before bedtime, and allow a couple of hours not doing any manual work (dishes, typing in the computer, etc) my manicure last 2x or 3x times longer to start chipping.

Yes - even when I put two coats on one right after the other, this dries them fast.

You are right. All of the Gel Polishes sold here are just crap. None of them stay on no matter how much prep work you do. I wish I had returned all of this mess before the time to return passed

No you can use the same nail polish before it dry. I put it on my nails and it last for about two weeks and I went to the beach.

It does, but not as quick. I would leave it in for like 10 mins. on each hand. If you are wanting a quick polish dry. I usually get the polish dry air cans at your local CVS, in their nail department/make-up department. Dries right after you spray. With a 2 minute no touch set. Lightly touch on your nail if its still a little bit tacky when you use it for regular nail polish. I still have mine to this day xx

It should really be a gel base color. The typical advice about using regular polish topped with gel is to polish them and then wait 24 hours for the regular polish base to completely dry. You will always run the risk of a regular polish base wrinkling up, but waiting the 24 hours will help to prevent that.

I would say No, the polish dries very quick less then a min. I hope this helps

I tried once, but it didn't work as well as gel polish. I didn't wait and let it really dry though, I just did the 2 minutes under the lamp like you do for the gel polish. These base and top coats work really well with the sephora gel polishes.

I go through stages of using it every day, then, I get lazy & use it every other day. Duri is the best...better than Nailtques. My nails are the strongest ever!! My gfs have complimented them. I haven't used polish except when I get my manicure. Duri does build up after a week if used every day. Sometimes, I can peel it off.

IDK, sorry. But, I'll tell you what, it's worth it to have the UV. I pd about $29 for mine. Where you benefit is that ur nails dry quickly, you don't have to do your nails as often, and with ROCK you can use all the dupe polishes that sell for $1.98, yup, and they will LAST AND SHINE better than those costing much, much, more!! I change my polish, only when my na grow out (& they grow fast w Rock), or I just want to change polish colors. Ha!!! I WILL ONLY USE ROCK forevermore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure u buy the base coat too. Together, they're magic!!!

The directions for all gel polishes and UV lights say to only put under lights for 2 mine at a time! More time does not equal drier polish...just more smudgy mess!!

Yes I have used polish on them. It does dry like it does on a regular nail.

It takes as little as one to three minutes using gel nail polish. Use gel polish directions exactly and it works very well.

I use the pure acetone and put it on a cotton ball then wrap the tip of my finger with tin foil and let it do its thing for about 15-20 minutes then use an orange stick to scrap off the polish it should crackle up when you take the foil off, make sure that you take a buffing block to rough up the top surface of the polish so that the acetone will work. DONT use an emery board type file you may get carried away with filing and damage your nail bed. The buffing blocks sold at Sally supply or any drug store works great just rough enough to take of the top coat off. DONT get anything to abrasive or like I said you may damage your nail bed and believe me that is quite painful! I am assuming this is your first go at the gel polishes? Did you have them done or are you thinking about doing them yourself either way I'm sure you know the steps to applying the polish and really taking the polish off is no big deal just a little time consuming because you can only work on one hand at a time. I hope I helped answer your question if you have any more I would be happy to help.

Here's what I have learned through trial and sometimes error. These times are usually dependent on whatever brand polish you are using. Some will say on the box or bottle. Others I kind of just figured out on my own. Usually to be safe I do 30 seconds for base coats on brands that do not give instruction. I go 1 min on color if it is gel. I will go 3-4 on non gel colors. Top coat I go 1 min as well. I will say that I am a. Mom and tend to be paranoid when it comes to freshly done nails, so I give it a "just in case" amount of time. Good luck!

I have used MANY different kinds of polish, and none show boldly.... I have not tried Konad Special Polish yet, so maybe that will do better?

Super shiny & it lasts all week. I only polish my nails once a week. Your nails will have that "wet look". I think you'll like it plus it helps dry nails faster.

I use 70% Isopropyl Alcohol from the drugstore and it works perfectly for me. The point is to make sure the nails are free of any soap residue, etc. DO remember to swipe your nails with a cotton ball soaked in acetone nail polish remover AFTER applying the base and top coats and drying with the light treatment dryer. Just using the light treatment alone will absolutely not dry my nails. I use the base coat first; dry with the light treatment for 90 seconds; immediately follow with the top coat and dry for another 90 seconds with the light treatment; and then briskly swipe each nail several times with the acetone cotton ball and it hardens immediately. I know it sounds odd but it absolutely works for me and nothing else does! Good luck!
