I wanted to like this product but I just can't. First of all, there were not any directions when it arrived. Not that it is super complicated, but I wanted to be able to confirm was I supposed to do drops after each coat? Only after all polish coats but before topcoat? After topcoat? Eventually figured out that it is after topcoat, so it really doesn't save that much time. They do their job, but it is so messy. Oil leaked all over my desk and damaged it. I was only using a single drop on each nail but everything instantly became oily. See attached photos for the damage on my desk (sorry it was difficult to get a good photo of this). I suppose if you make sure you have a towel underneath and understand that this is only to save time after the topcoat then maybe it will work for you. I'm such a big fan of Olive and June polish in general but was very ************ in this product.

So I bought the drying drops in hopes that it wouldn’t take long to dry. I waited 20 minutes last night after painting and applying the drops and they were still sticky at the end. I don’t get it. Did I get a bad bottle?

TL;DR: I was skeptical, but it actually works. I admit, I thought these Dry Drops were gimmicky when they first came out. But O&J ran a promo giving away a free bottle with a $40 purchase and I thought, what the heck? I'll buy the stuff I want and if it doesn't work at least I didn't spend any money on it. You have to use the drops as directed and apply 1-2 on each nail after top coat, so it didn't save me a ton of time for the multiple color coats I applied, but it saved me at least 10-15 minutes at the very end of my manicure because I didn't have to wait for my nails to "set" and dry completely. The oil does run everywhere, so make sure you have a towel or something close by. I think I waited longer than the 80 seconds just because I was nervous to mess my nails up, but after 3 minutes or so I lightly touched my nails and they felt dry. Then I washed my hands to get the excess oil off and my nails look amazing--no chips or smudges! I told my friend about it and she bought a bottle on the spot (I should have sent her a referral link! Haha). I don't know how this stuff works, but it does. And my friend who bought the drops is a chemist and appreciated the natural, gentle ingredients, so that convinced me to buy a new bottle when my free one runs out.

Literally they run all over your hands, and make your hands SUPER oily. Can't fully wash my hands, because of course I'm worried about ruining the polish. So... would I rather just wait 20 mins for my nails to dry, or have oily hands for 20 mins? Obviously just wait. Cannot get behind this product.

I use this and then let dry ten minutes and they're always perfect. No smudges!

It was amazing! Just as the name states. Everything about these products are awesome.

These drops are wonderful! I also love the smell and extract used in them as it doesn't dry my cuticles out or make me feel greasy. One (tiny) complaint is that for my thumb nails, I must be using a slightly thicker coat than my other smaller nails which makes those nails slightly more tacky after 90 seconds. This has resulted in me having ripples or dents versus pristine nails. However, I still use these regularly and they've also made mid-week top coat touch ups a breeze!

These work well and do dry the polish.

Being dry to the touch in less than two minutes makes it so much easier to get on with life after your mani. Love them!!!

They work but are messy and drippy to apply. Dropped on rug which is not good. Should advise to apply over sink. A lot is wasted.☹️
