Shenzhen, Guangdong -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/29/2010 -- There are those who always argue that a nail dryer is not the answer, but as with all things in life, it is a personal choice and there are those who love using a nail polish dryer. Once your nail polish is on, it can take anywhere up to an hour for your nails to dry, which is why a nail dryer is becoming so popular.

A dryer comes in all shapes, sizes and prices. You can buy them from a few dollars up to the hundreds. When looking for a nail dryer consider your needs and make sure the hand dryer has a finger rest, non slip hand grip, warm and cool air flow passage.

There are two types you can buy, portable nail dryers or professional nail dryers.

The portable dryers are great if you only do your fingernails about once a month. You can carry them around easily and they usually only require batteries, they are great for travelling.

The professional nail dryer will provide hot air or UV rays and are a good investment if you like to do your fingernails regularly. These types of nail dryers are more expensive, and you can dry natural nails and fake nails. Also professional nail dryers offer more features, usually you will find UV nail dryers in a nail salon, these types of nail dryers dry your fingernails with UV lamp and you can fit both hands into dry or both feet. Drying your fingernails with UV lamp is a preferred method by many people.

The more expensive nail dryers will also have added features such as a light indicator; can adjust temperature using a keypad, varying settings which can go from fast drying to extra fast nail drying. A window to be able to see how drying is going, and a light which indicates the beginning and end of your drying session. These nail dryers can be used at home.

The amount of drying time using nail dryers can take a few min. Some of the more expensive nail dryers will come with a set of nail beauty kit so you can give yourself a complete home manicure.

Before you run out and buy yourself a nail dryer, make sure you know what you are after. For example heat will dry your nails more quickly than air, yet too much heat can dry up nails, and cause problems. Make sure the nail dryer you are interested in has a temperature control. Natural fingernails are better dried using cooler air, while acrylics and Gel nails need a UV Gel nail lamp.
