Well I guess I will put in my 2 cents. After doing nails for 32 years and going through the changes in all of the products I have used, when polish took 1 hour to dry, it DID stay on sume clients for as long as 2 weeks. When the manufacturers started removeing or changeing the products, they started performing with negative results. The humidity factor, well , polish in my opinion does take longer to dry or cure (what ever).Also, working with acrylic is different on humid , hot or very cold days depending on the atmosphere that we are working in. If you guys dont agree PLEASE dont bite my head off . Maureen Solan

(Just a speculation) Also, let's face it, when we make our clients sit still in a UV light for ten minutes, it gives them a chance to dry well with less chances to smudge. Again, I'm not making any "special knowledge" claims here, but I do find that this works on humid days.

Humid or rainy days really slow the process down. Normally I just do the usual: base, color, top, drying drops. But on humid days, I stick them in the UV light for 5 to 10 minutes and they dry faster than if they just air dry. That's my 2 cents for the day...

I'm going to print this out and take it to work to show my clients. Has anyone thought that it might be the weather that causes the polish not to dry? i know the weather plays a big part in the way my acrylic lays on certain days. even in A/C i have to adjust how wet my acrylic is. And the humidity determines on how long I make my clients sit and dry.

Unless there is something else in the FF polishes that could cause them to dry slow, but as I said I don’t have issues… Q: Is formaldehyde a carcinogen? Why is it in nail polish? A: You may be surprised to learn the formaldehyde if not an ingredient in nail polish, hardeners or any other type of nail product. Until recently, manufacturers we required to list formaldehyde on the label even though the actual name of the ingredient is methylene glycol, a different chemical that id created by reacting formaldehyde and water. It is strange but true! No one cared about the difference until it was reported that inhaling large amounts of “dry formaldehyde gas” can cause a rare type of nasal cancer. Manufacturers became concerned that people might hear about this, get the wrong impression and mistakenly believe that this danger also applied to nail polish and other products. Over the last few years the NMC had worked tirelessly to get this error fixed. Now, manufacturers can use the correct ingredient name, methylene glycol on labels. Don’t believe the recent hype – nail polish neither causes cancer or birth defects. Polish has a very long history of safe use and is among the safest consumer product you can buy or use.

Usually they all dry within ten to fifteen minutes--any brand. The past few weeks it seems that all OPI just stayed wet and tacky. WTH? Anyone else having this problem?

My daughter, a hairdresser, just wore OPI's Vampire State Building for 5 days with no chipping. She is a BUSY girl in her salon. This may be the longest she's gone without chipping.
