How long does it take to dry one coat of the gel application? 30? seconds? 40? a minute? Thanks!

So far this is how I have done it with three self-manicures: base coat 2 mins, color layers 1 min each and 2 mins top coat. I did use the Gelish structure in a layer after the base coat and before the color in my last manicure and followed the Gelish recommendations of 2 minutes for that coat. So far, all are great and seem to set very firm as opposed to using the LED lamps I had before. I would add 30 seconds for each color layer using a darker color, advice I received from other gel at home users.

I just started doing them at home, but it seems to take about 2 minutes per coat. This is why it does make it easier to have a light that automatically shuts off, that way your not clock watching. I was unable to get this product to do this, and I tried THREE different ones. I would only suggest buying this light if you don't want the timer feature. Hope this helps.

This product sucks. I ordered it got it broken one. I replaced my order and got my replacement with broken product again. I highly recommend to not purchase this product. I was dealing with this problem for 2weeks, and at the end, I didn't get anything.

I do two minutes each coat just to be safe. Don't forget to rub with rubbing alcohol when ur finished :)

I just play it safe and use the 120 second timer on every coat. Works like a charm!

I have to put in for 5 min. I tried at 2 min intervals. And with the timer it don't want to dry at all.

base coat 40 seconds, 1st and 2nd color coat 40 seconds each and then the top coat I do for 150 seconds. After I rub with 99% rubbing alcohol and voilà!!! great manicure:)

Make sure to read label because that will tell you if you have the water, or weather proof product. Always let dry at least 12 hours and put on a second coat. Hope this helps.

I would have to say that it drys pretty quickly, depending on how much you put on it. Within a half hour. Remember, it needs several coats before getting the effect that you are looking for.

10 to 15 minutes to dry usually.. I suppose high humidity could increase dry time...great results with this product for me

I don't have the can near to hand but ideally you're looking at 70F for 30 minutes to 24 hours for best results. I applied when the weather was roughly 60 nearly 80F during the day during early-mid September, I had a lot of trouble waiting for the coating to cure and if it got moist from the dew at night it took hours more into the next day to 'dry'.I also had trouble mixing the coating to a consistency of a true bedliner, it was much more... textured (lumpy mess) in my case. Lots of lumps no mater how long or well I mixed. I do not believe this was temperature related though.

I waited 72 hrs and insured that everything was as dry as possible. I found other instructions that said as little as 8-24 hours, but I wanted to be sure that I wasn't trapping uncured material under a paint designed to seal moisture and not breathe. BTW it worked and I have had no problems since.

It is best to wait until it dries. depending on humidity and amount of water applied at time of application that can be 1 hour

I only use regular polish and don't actually time it. I usually use the dryer for 2-3 minutes and they're tacky, but I dryunder the dryer after each coat. Then when I'm finished I put on Quik dry. I no longer work so I have the advantage of time.

It's dry to touch within 1-2 hrs but 4 hrs in between coats is recommended.

I just used this yesterday. I like to apply it with a microfiber cloth on my hands and knees. Just a thin layer. No need to slop it on. It dries quickly -- less than 20 minutes.

If you do like the web site states to do and apply 1 coat, then wait 30 days and apply another coat, it'll last for a good 10 months. It doesn't state that on the paste version, but it does on the liquid version.

Any type of NON-fast dry will work. It may shrink a slight bit but not to noticeably. The best would be a uv light cured top coat. Hope this helps.

Depends on the temperature, humidity and the thickness of application. I would say 5-7 min on average.

Hi India:) I'm like you,new to Seche.I got my fastdry topcoat about a month ago&to; be honest,it was quite a transition from my normal GlossyGlam(by @justricarda on IG).But truly not because it gets thick too fast.Now that I'm used to it I'd completely recommend to anybody!The ONE thing u shud be warned about is...Be SURE&let; your coats dry well before u apply because it WILL shrink your polish.I'd heard that but foundout the hard way:p And also,when it says fastdry that's exactly what it means.Overall itsa great formula!Hope all that was helpful!:) *Kelly

Instructions says to let it tack up for 15 minutes first. But I am a little impatient and do not think it is needed. I spread it on, blow into it to let it dry faster, then after 1 minute, I lay the 2 layers in. Seems to have worked for me in the past. if you need instant, you need to use CA glue (super glue).

I applieded two coates, coate two was abot 2 hours after coate one for drying time. It worked well for me. It is still good after several years. ND John

It doesn't dry. It's just a treatment which is exposed for 5-15 minutes depending on your initial test.
