bigmommasally Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I was bought a pedicure at our local salon as a birthday treat, I had it done earlier this evening with the varnish being applied just before 7pm. The varnish is still tacky - surely this can't be right? Its nearly 10 o'clock I'm going to have to go to bed with my feet hanging out the side so it doesn't smudge Hope its dry in the morning or I'll be wearing flip flops to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 That doesn't sound right. Could you give your feet a whizz with a hairdryer to see if that speeds things up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Its becasue the last coat of nail varnish was applied before the one under it was dry Bit late to tell you now,but holding them in or under very cold water would help them to set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Well I slept with my feet hanging out the bed (good job its not the depths of winter) and they seem dry this morning but there are several dents in the polish and it looks dull. I'm going to put my own top coat on to try and make it look shiny. Not very happy but I don't want to complain too loudly as DD2 bought the pedicure (which was very expensive at £32) as a present and she would be very upset to know it wasn't a great success. Plum - OH wasn't too keen on taking me out for a drive with my feet hanging out the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Could be worse - at least your cat didnt sleep on your feet and you woke up with furry toe nails - very were wolfish - happened to me and whenever I apply the Johnsons stuff which gives you a tanned glow (!) I suddenly find the cat JUST has to sit on me - my friends dog licks my feet when I have applied it and I drop round for a cuppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 You know Cinnamon the bluebottle nails could catch on I was admiring the assistants serving me in Argos - the England flag - mine never turn out right. I either turn out streaky furry or just smudgey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
