So, uh, i painted my nails (for the first time since i was a kid) last night. They look rough i love it. That’s beside the question, i waited patiently for my nails to dry. Right? Hooray me for not Oh! Squirrel!ing. For I don’t know how many hours afterward, they stank like ammonia or something. I wanted to pet my cats but my nails were too stinky. They would not allow it. So how do I make my nails stop stinking faster so I can get back to petting my cats?

edit: follow up do they make nail polish that smells like catnip

    I use UV curing wood finish for my woodworking projects now and it’s amazing. Nothing evaporates so there’s no smell and no respiratory health risk. Every bit of the liquid turns to solid, so you don’t have to use very much. And it’s done and set in 5 minutes instead of hours.

      I mean I fill my manky toenail with cheap ass cyanoacrylate when it aches. Like, are you talking just giving your nails a lacquer or something?

        I’m just seconding the consideration of UV curing products because they are cool and have many benefits. I have zero experience with anything to do with nails.
