Tips & tricks: Drying nail polish faster

Waiting for nail polish to dry is really one of the things I hate more in life. I saw this simple trick on Snog, Marry, Avoid, and thought I would give it ago. It doesn't dry your nail polish completely, but it gets it past the annoying "bump in to anything and it'll smudge" phase. All you have to do is fill your sink up with cold water, plunge your nails in for a minute or 2, and you will see a difference straight away. I kept going back and doing it for a couple more minutes each time and it definetely helps. Just an alternative for you if you don't have any of that spray that drys your nails for you!

Oh, and a quick update on Rimmel nail rescue that I've been using. I've used this for about 3 weeks now. It's pretty much been my absolute go to base coat when I don't have nail polish on, which I have probably worn maybe 3 days out of 21 days? I've been trying to just focus on wearing the nail rescue to sort my nails out. It has made a definite improvement, as you can see  from the pictures above my nails have grown quite a bit, have had the unfortunate one or two snap though which was a bit dissapointing. I wouldn't say it's a miracle worker, but because I freak out when my nails have nothing on them as they snap so easily, I'll reach for nail rescue because I know it may allow them to survive a little longer! If you don't have a problem with soft/brittle nails, I don't really see why you would need this, but for someone like me if I want to keep my longer nails I'll probably have to wear it all the time. :(
