You’re best bet is to use a quick drying top coat. People like seche vite. Sally Hansen has one in a red bottle that’s pretty good. A lot of indie makers have their own quick drying top coat.

I second seche vite. It's the first topcoat I've used that dries quickly enough that I can shower or go to bed within an hour of applying the last coat.

I use the same OPI top coat and I have the same problem. The OPI top coat is not quick dry and takes an entire day to be fully dry. I’d recommend either using a quick dry top coat, or painting your nails in the morning rather than a few hours before bed.
Brilliant, thank you that makes sense.
Glad I'm not the only one with this issue. I know it's not a quick dry top coat but the OPI top coat is absolutely snails pace compared to other non-QDTCs. Mine would take an entire day to dry, it was ridiculous.
It’s so annoying! It’s the only top coat I own and I always have to time my manicures properly.
100% recommend getting a QDTC if you can! Absolute game changer for me. I'm doing my nails rn (9.50pm) with magnetics and it's soo helpful for getting magnetics to set properly.
Yes I definitely need to! I’ve only just started doing my nails in late March and didn’t know about QDTCs before buying some polish. Any specific ones you recommend?
