I did my nails at 9pm last night...base coat 2coats of color & a top coat... went to bed around 1230am when I woke up this morning they look terrible before the top coat I did the ice water trick to dry them faster applied the top coat probably around 11pm all polishes are fairly new within the last 2months any suggestions or products to help me?

If it's a blanket imprint making you nails look bad try adding a fresh layer of topcoat. I use this trick a lot (I'm notorious for doing my nails right before bed) and it almost always works to save my Mani.

Get a tiny fan and let the nails dry between coats.

Make sure each coat of polish you put on is a thin coat and completely dry before you do your next coat. If you put too much polish on and not give it time to dry between coats then it dosent matter how long you wait for them to dry, they will go wrong, it takes a bit longer but its worth it if you want a flawless looking mani, hope I helped!

I heard you should do your nails a minimum of 6 hours before going to bed.

Pam cooking spray. Dries nails super fast. I have a bottle in my nail kit to use when I'm out of quick dry top coat.

Definitely agree with Lindsay M above - PAM works miracles (I like it better than than the ice water trick)
