Use Seche Vite quick dry top coat. It's amazing. It also leaves the polish looking super shiny.

Seche vite top coat! Even if your nails are totally wet it dries them in like 10 seconds flat. Changed my life lol.

Dip them in ice water. It's how I instantly dry mine.

I hate Seche! Seven dollars and you only get to use half a bottle before it gets too thick and gooey to use. Not to mention it peels off of my nails in big pieces or chips within hours of finishing my manicure.
If you want to dry your nails quickly, use OPI Drying Drops. That will greatly reduce dry time.

I havr found no matter what polish I use (I'm obsessed and have brands from low to high end), the last half or less of the bottom is thick clumpy and ends up going on too thick and chipping fast. I havr no idea why, but in my experience it is with every brand - OPI, Essie, Revlon, S?che, China Glaze, and more. What the heck! As for quick drying top coats, I have found S?che to be better than the OPI and Essie ones I've had in the past.

I use the ice water method. Works very well for me.

If you get Seche Restore, you can fix and prevent your polishes from that gloopy stage, no mater how bad they are OR how old they are. Yayy!!

Spray pam on your nails, then wipe it off and they are dry!

Spraying Pam on your nails works absolute wonders. The entire nail dries!

Seche vite does suck, it gets thick and goopy when half is still left and the next day I could peel my whole nail of polish off and apparently if you are pregnant you are not supposed to use it.. I just started using the out the door top coat at sallys and it amazing! it dries super fast and gives a super glossy finish!

Either the instant dry top coat (shoppers or walmart) or spraying with pam. I've tried the water thing and it doesn't work nearly as well.

Open your freezer. Hold your nails toward the cold air coming out for a few minutes. It works.

Like the other girls said, using Pam is the best way to go!! Very cheap & very effective :) Good luck!!

I love using Pam. I put it on, leave it for five minutes, then wash it off. Works wonders! I used the Seche a few times and my polish would peel off my entire nail the next day. I never used it long enough to get goopy. I use Nail Magic from Sally's, the base coat hydrates my nails and the top coat is fast drying. Love it! The base coat is called Base Coat Therapy and the top coat is called Fast Drying.
