Dry your nails instantly

Nobody has the time to wait for a manicure to dry, especially at home. You paint your nails then the phone rings, or you decide to have a cup of tea... A top tip to avoid smudging your nails is to dip your nails in ice cold water after you painted them, I usually leave them in for about 5 minutes just to be safe.

Above is my nails drying in my lovely oversized tea cup from Next, which I love!

I used Nails INC Markham Square, which is a cream nude with a hint of grey.

I used the Nails Inc Westminster bridge matt topcoat, for a matt finish on my nails. This is a really good buy, you simply put on top of any colour to achieve a matt finish on your nail colour.
