How long does classic nail polish and classic Vinylux take to dry? How much time is needed for the polish to harden?
The classic nail polish we use is CND Vinylux, known for its exceptional durability and high quality. The drying time for this polish is between 30 to 40 minutes, allowing it to achieve an initial surface dryness on the nail. However, it’s important to note that full curing can take much longer – even up to several hours. During this period, the polish reaches maximum hardness and resistance to mechanical damage, such as scratches or chipping.
Classic nail polishes often require more time to achieve full durability, which can be challenging during daily activities like washing dishes or cleaning. Unlike hybrid polishes, which are cured under a UV or LED lamp, CND Vinylux utilizes innovative self-curing technology. Its formula contains special polymers that react to natural light, particularly UV radiation. This means that the drying and curing process can be accelerated by exposing your nails to daylight, which is especially beneficial during summer months.
To further speed up the drying process and ensure durability, it’s recommended to use special top coats designed for Vinylux polishes. The top coat from this series also reacts to UV light, reinforcing the polish structure and providing an additional protective layer. A properly applied top coat significantly reduces the risk of chipping and extends the manicure’s longevity to up to seven days.
When applying the polish, it’s essential to follow a few key rules. Applying thin layers of polish promotes faster drying and more even curing. Applying a thick layer may result in soft spots that are more susceptible to damage. The surrounding temperature also plays a crucial role – cooler environments can prolong the drying process, while warm, dry air promotes faster curing.
In our opinion CND Vinylux polish requires about 30-40 minutes to achieve an initial dry state, but full hardness develops over several hours. To shorten the drying time and increase durability, it is beneficial to take advantage of sunlight exposure and use appropriate finishing products such as top coat.
