Which type of nail polish is known for its quick drying time?

Gel nail polish
Quick-dry nail polish
Matte nail polish
Regular nail polish

The correct answer is: Quick-dry nail polish

Quick-dry nail polish is designed with specific formulations that allow it to dry significantly faster than traditional nail polishes. This type of polish contains ingredients that promote rapid evaporation of solvents and quick setting of the lacquer on the nail surface. As a result, it is especially popular for individuals who may not have the time to wait for multiple layers of polish to air dry or those who might be prone to smudging their freshly painted nails. While gel nail polish is known for its durability and long-lasting finish, it requires a UV lamp for curing and does not inherently offer a quick drying feature. Matte nail polish, on the other hand, focuses on achieving a non-glossy finish rather than speed, and regular nail polish typically takes longer to dry compared to the quick-dry formulation. The unique composition of quick-dry nail polish makes it the optimal choice for those seeking efficiency without sacrificing the appearance of their manicure.
