How long before bed do you paint your toenails?

[MrsRogerSterling]

As the title asks. I don't have time to do my nails during the day and have to wait until dd's are in bed. I spent ages doing my toenails last night only to wake to wrinkly sheet marked nails... So how long prior to bed should be sufficient?

I do mine about a couple of hours before bed. I use Seche Vite topcoat - it dries to touch in about 5 minutes and properly solid in about 15 minutes. You can put it on wet polish and it seals the lot and dries lovely and shiny.

An hour for a rock hard set should do it or invest in a fast dry top coat and your polish should be rock hard in 10-20 mins.
