Here's the sitch: After two (thickish) coats of polish (this one's thermal, but it's happened with other regular ones) I apply my QDTC (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri). As it dries down, it becomes matte particularly on the tips/free edge of my nails. It doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes and I think it's more with thicker formulas but I'm not sure. I just put on another layer of QDTC and it didn't help. What's going on, and has anyone found a solution?

  1. I believe it’s moisture iirc. Do you live in a particularly humid climate? Or did you recently wash your hands or get them wet somewhere?

  2. I’ve had that from exposure to steam trying to cook too soon after painting my nails
