Does dark nail polish dry faster than light nail polish?

I got asked this most interesting question today about nail polish..  The question I was asked was does dark nail polish dry faster than light nail polish?

After looking into this question being that it is dark nail polish season (WOOT! Bring them on baby!) this is what I found out. No dark nail polish doesn’t dry faster than light nail polish does. For some reason it takes dark polish longer to dry specially if it has glitter in as well. BUT I have found that BB Couture dark nail polish colors dries faster than OPI’s when testing them against each other. In fact light dries faster and doesn’t show if you chip it or smudge it either as much as dark nail polish does. When it comes to applying dark nail polish one must use less and wait at least 2 minutes between coats. I have found that some either need 3 coats of polish when applying some dark nail polish colors over light nail polish colors.

The best thing you can do is after you have applied your nail polish either dark or light color use a good top coat. I have personally found that Top Rock by BB Couture is the best there is! Top Rock top coat comes Raspberry scent and those with a little extra time Extreme Top Rock is even better! Pretty hard to beat Top Rock but Extreme Top Rock has been tested out on my fingernails wearing Dragon’s Breath and has lasted up to a week before chipping! Now I am someone who isn’t easy on her nails, I type a lot so I am always busy and not having your nail polish chip within a few days is great!

I hate chipped nail polish and I don’t really care if some famous actors are into showing off their nails with chipped polish. I think it just shows they are too lazy to get their nails fixed.

In fact from Overall Beauty here is a review for Top Rock!

“This top coat is awesome! So far no chips or peeling! Which is a major plus, but come on how can you not like a top coat that dries and smells like raspberries after. That is some crazy cool effect! It also applies really great, just like their regular polishes. The application of all their nail products are way smoother than most of the other nail polishes.” ~ Jen

For those looking for a great nail polish deal, all orders of BB Couture nail polish if you order 3 or more nail polishes get a FREE Top Rock! From now till the end of the year! Its that good and I want everyone to test it out and give me their thoughts. Don’t you want the best for your nails?
