DeMert is the brand behind Nail Enamel Dryer, the red aerosol can that manicurists use as a finishing spray over regular nail polish. A light mist helps the surface of the polish set so it is less likely to smear, and the formula conditions the cuticles and nails with panthenol and protein. It is made in the U.S.A. and distributed by DeMert Brands of Tampa, Florida. M1 Nail & Beauty Supply stocks the 212 g (7.5 oz) can as a single can and as a case of 12.
How do you use DeMert Nail Enamel Dryer?
Finish the top coat and wait a minute or two. Hold the can upright at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the nails and spray lightly once over each nail, repeating if needed. Spraying closer or heavier can leave bubbles or dull spots.
Does a drying spray work on gel polish?
No. Drying sprays are for regular lacquer, which dries in air. Gel polish only hardens under a UV/LED lamp. A spray also sets the surface first: the polish underneath keeps hardening for some time, so clients should still be gentle with their nails after they leave.
