It doesn't improve dry time enough to make it worth while. I get better results from other products that don't stink like hell.

I used it exactly according to the instructions, it doesn't really say how much to spray on each nail so maybe I just haven't found the right amount. I found it only dried my nails maybe 10% faster than just air drying, definitely not "3-2-1 dry". It still was about 30-40 minutes before they were totally dry (as it not going to get dents).

Love this stuff! It really helps my polish dry so much quicker... The only downside is the smell. Still totally worth it.

I wish I would have purchased this stuff years ago when I first saw it at Walmart. Anyways, this stuff really does work. It won't work if not used correctly though (more on this after my actual review).

Overall Rating 5/5: It really does work but the smell is strong. I really don't mind it too much but I receive many complaints from my room mates when I use it. I've learned to just use it right at the window.

Price 3/5: I bought this at London Drugs for $4.99. I think it's kinda expensive, I don't know, maybe I am just cheap. I did see this at Walmart for around $2.99 and I think I will repurchase from there instead.

Packaging Quality 5/5: It looks nice and the aerosol spray can distributes the product in even bursts.

Buy Again: Yes I cannot imagine doing my nails without it.

HOW TO USE PROPERLY: After each coat of polish, spray each nail individually from 6-8 inches away. Spray too close and you will get little bubbles in your polish, spray too far away and you won't be concentrating enough on your nail and it won't work. After you are done each nail, stick your fingers into ice cold water for 60 seconds. Repeat for each coat of nail polish.

This method works for me every time! My nails are pretty much completely dry and I can go about my day. =)

I feel like this was a complete waste of money, but looking at other reviews I have to wonder if maybe I'm just using it wrong. I bought this to use it with Sinful Colors nail polish because they take forever to dry, but it doesn't seem to do anything but make my polish tacky. I've tried spraying at different distances, using more spray, using less spray, but always the same outcome. If I use too much it even alters the appearance of the polish and takes away the shine and the smell! Don't get me started on the smell. It smells overbearingly of baby powder so if you use it, make sure you use it outside or in a very well ventilated area. Maybe it works better with other brands of polish? I'm not sure, but for now I think I'll stick with my quick drying top coats and drops.

It works!. I can say that it definitely helps with the smudging part cuz I'm a klutz the minute i get polish on for some reason anyhoo I think it helps the drying time albeit not by leaps and bounds but good enough for me.

The only thing I dislike is the scent...baby powder...ugghhh but it dissipates quickly enough. Would repurchase for sure.

I actually like the product. I polish my nails twice a week and this has definiteily helped my nails dry alot faster. This is a big plus because i hate waiting for my nails to dry. I did notice that my nails do seem kind of dull after I use it though. I bought a new nail polish by china glaze last week and i noticed that it was a lil dull when i sprayed it. I dont mind the smell actually. i like the smell of baby powder. When I spray my nails I wait a couple of mins and I go over with Sally Hansen mirror top coat and I'm good to go. I will defnitely continue to buy.

This is a great product. I had my doubts but for the price, what could i be losing? This really does help dry my nail polish faster, but i hate the smell! i can't stand baby powder scented products, yuck. Also this tends to leave a residue on nails, but it comes off when you wash your hands

I like this a lot! I was going to try the OPI Drip Dry, but that's a good $18-20 CAD where I live, and this was only $4 CAD. It works wonderfully. I wait maybe half a minute to a minute after my last coat of polish, then I spray this once across all my nails, wait a minute, then spray again. Within 10 minutes my nails are perfectly dry, and I just wash my hands to get rid of any residue on them (though it's not visible). It smells like baby powder, but it gives me a bit of a headache (strong, chemically scents often do), so I make sure to spray it right beside an open window. I would buy this again for sure, not sure how long this bottle will last me, but I'm sure it will last a long time, it's huge.

I really like this product due to the fact that it speeds up the drying process since I am impatient. I can never sit and wait for my nails to dry. Plus I hate it when I mess it up and have to do it over again! This helps a lot :D

I really like this stuff. I bought this from Wal-Mart one day. It was really cheap and lasts for a long time. I like how it dries fast. The scent is okay, but it sure did help speed up the nail-drying process. I'm a mom on-the-go so when I paint my nails it has got to be quick dry polish, but when I use this stuff I can use regular ones. It does what it says. I HIGHLY recommend!

This stuff is amazing. I just bought it tonight because while I love painting my nails, I'm never really motivated to do so because they take forever to dry, and they always smudge right after I paint them; because of my lack of motivation, I end up wearing the same coat of polish for days upon days and it ends up chipping terribly and looking horrible.


However, when I used this, I was very surprised. I thought it would be only slightly faster than without, but I was wrong! I painted my nails with one coat, sprayed this on right after, and within one minute I could touch them without them being tacky. Five minutes later I actually stuck my hands into a bag full of stuff to try and wrestle something out, and I thought for sure my nails would be smeared and ruined. But when I pulled my hands out and examined my fingernails, they were completely unsmudged, just like if they had been painted several hours ago.


This product is simply a miracle for me when it comes to painting my nails. I'll definitely be painting my nails more often, and with it being such a low price (I got an 8.5 ounce can for $2.89!) I'll be able to rebuy as often as I want.

I read the reviews for this stuff & decided to try it. It's pretty cheap for the big can you get. I like how it doesn't leave any weird residue on my nails or skin. I used to have to be very careful not to do too much for at least an hour after my toenail polishing routine, because I would usually end up somehow smudging my polish. Now, I can cut my drying time to about 20 minutes and then I'm good to resume normal activity. The only drawback to me is the scent. I like baby powder, but this has a very synthetic note to it which I can't stand. Since you only use it very briefly, the scent is not a deal-breaker for me. I will buy this as long as they keep making it ( Unfortunately, given my track record, this means it will probably be discontinued in the next ten minutes....)

This is a nail polish drying spray that costs 3 dollars for 8.5 ounces. It smells like baby powder! Very nice after smelling remover and polish for a half an hour. This product works like a charm. I like to layer several layers of polish to make a gradient effect in the color, and this involves at least 10 coats of nail polish. 12 if I use glitter. And I do not wait in between coats for drying. Anyway, I apply seche vite topcoat on everything, wait 5 minutes, spray 3-2-1, wait 10 minutes, spray 3-2-1 again, wait another 10 minutes and my nails will be completely dry. Dry like when I rub my nails over each other they click. This and Seche Vite have totally changed my mind about nail polish, because, like a previous reviewer, I was discouraged with waiting an hour for my polish to dry, and I would still get smears and smudges from the gentlest activity. Now I can use 12 different layers if I want to, and I only have to wait 25 minutes to have my hard work get completely dry. Great product.

Wow. This may be one of my top-ten finds ever! I used to not do my nails as much as I would like to, because I hated having to wait for them to dry. This stuff really helps cut drying time. I put on a pair of tight jeans and buttoned them up within 15min of doing my nails today. No complaints. I'm going to start buying this 2 at a time. I would hate to run out.

I love this. I can't stand to have oily stuff on my fingers and toes so all the oil drying sprays are a no go for me. This dries my nails fast and prevents those oopsie smudges and nicks I always seem to get. I can blast my tips and toes with this and I don't get residue on my skin or nails and it never interferes with the polish. And you know, I actually like the baby powder scent, its sort of retro and makes me think of a 60's beauty salon.

This really does shorten drying time and also helps to prevent smears and smudges after you have just done your nails. I really like the Baby Powder scent also.
