Help! I'm tired of polishing my nails, waiting what seems like forEVER, then the first thing I touch smears my polish. Happened to me again this morning.
I've seen the fast-drying topcoats at the drugstore. Various brands, various prices. Do any of them work? Can you recommend a drugstore topcoat that dries your polish quickly?
Thanks for your suggesions.

Haven't tried any, but you really need to take time to let the polish dry. I do one coat then give enough time for that to set then do my 2nd coat then I will wait for the top coat.
I have been using either Vitry nail treatment as a top coat and just used CND vinylux top coat

@jackthebear -- I'll add here that I always let my nails dry a long time. This morning I sat quietly and watched the last 30 minutes of The Today Show while they dried -- then grabbled my purse and went to my car. By the time I turned the key in the ignition, 2 nails were smeared. All I use is one coat of Pink Gel Coat or some other clear polish. I don't wear colors and usually just one coat.

I would say this is better than typical drying, but not super-fast. It is Sally Hansen Diamond Flash topcoat. It says in 60 seconds it is dry to the touch. I would say more time is needed but even after 10 minutes I do not stick my hand in my purse or open a can of soda. However, I like it much more than Julep topcoat. I bought into the hype, tried it a few times and tossed it out.

I use OPI Rapidry. It's a spray. It really does help my nails to dry much quicker than without it. You just need to spray a tiny mist onto your nails.

:-( the only other thing I could suggest is get your keys and bag out ready to go before you do your nails, carefully drive. I have messed mine up at that point too,
