How long for nail polish to dry?

Below how long for nail polish to dry :- It depends on the type of nail polish and the number of coats:

  • Regular Nail Polish: About 10–15 minutes per coat to dry to the touch, but 1 hour for full hardness.
  • Quick-Dry Nail Polish: Usually 5–10 minutes, but still needs about 30–60 minutes to fully set.
  • Gel Polish (UV/LED Cured): 30–60 seconds under a UV/LED lamp, but fully hardens immediately.
  • Dip Powder or Acrylics: They dry almost instantly after application but may need extra time to fully cure.

If you’re in a hurry, using a quick-dry top coat, drying drops, or cold air (like a fan or cold water) can speed things up!
