[Drying my nails on cool, freshly painted with Deborah Lippmann Va Va Voom from the Jewel Heist Collection]
At home, I never give my nails an ample amount of time to dry, pretty much defeating the purpose of painting my digits in the first place! At the salon, the nail techs carefully monitor that you’ve spent enough time under the dryers, which you can now do yourself, at home! For nail junkies, the
Belson Profiles Professional Single Hand Nail Dryer,
$24.95, at
Folica.com is a godsend; super small, incredibly lightweight (at 2lbs), and portable, the dryer features a warm and cool feature, so that you can decide on a comfortable drying temperature, and is small enough to store almost anywhere, as well as portable for wherever you decide to do your nails in the house on any given day.

I really like the size of this one, and the price, as the other option costs about triple the price. Plus, in the two times that I’ve used it, I’ve felt like I’ve been getting a more concentrated, and essentially faster, dry per hand, spending the same amount of time drying my nails in the end!
Would you try a nail dryer at home?

I would definitely try it. I treat myself to the nail salon once a month so I’d definite use this in between. Great idea!
Awesome! I think the price point makes it a perfect gift too for friends/family who love to do their nails too!
