I’ve lately been loving this nail polish by sally hansen. It seriously drys in 60 seconds and only needs 1 coat. (If you live where I live, I’ve only been able to find it at Target.) The only warning I would give is to be careful with the colors, some of them are very opaque (what I thought be be a nice transparent white=white out).
