I don't know how many times I've seen this red aerosol can, perched on a low shelf in the nail area of Ulta or Wal-Greens. It's one of those things that's always been there, but I've never thought of buying. Not until I found myself in the middle of a manicure, realizing I was running late and worrying about being able to let my nails dry before having to rush out the door. The woman who'd painstakingly painted my barely-there nails (shortest nails, ever), grabbed the familiar red can from underneath her workstation, sprayed a fine film over my nails, dug into my purse for my car keys and shooed me out the door. I cautiously opened the car door and cursed out loud when I accidentally scraped one finger across the steering wheel. Surprised doesn't adequately describe me upon seeing that my nail was not ruined. It was glossy and hard and perfect. Just like the other nine. Shocked. Mystified. Overjoyed. My nails had dried completely in as long as it took to stand up and walk out the salon's door. I picked up a can of DeMert's at Ulta - this magical nail-drying potion costs less than $4 - and used it at home tonight after painting my toes and nails. Worked like a charm.

Beauty Moment- DeMert Nail Enamel Dryer
