Hey everyone!!
Today I’m going to be reviewing a miracle product I’ve been loving ever since I bought it, the Nicole by OPI Drying Drops. I used to hate doing my nails at home because I’m just too impatient to wait 30 minutes to an hour for them to dry. About a year ago I was strolling through Shoppers Drug Mart’s nail polish section when I saw this product. I picked it up on a whim AND IM SOOOOO HAPPY I DID. At Shoppers Drugmart the Nicole by OPI Drying Drops retail for about $10.99 CAD but I’m certain you can find it for cheaper at department stores.
So here’s how it works: you paint a
base coat on, then your nail polish, followed by your top coat and lastly the
drying drops.
- These drops claim to have your nails dry to the touch within 1 minute and completely dry in 5 minutes.
- I kid you not after squeezing 1-3 drops of this stuff onto your nails once you’ve painted them they will usually be COMPLETELY dry within 5 minutes.
- The product itself comes in a clear bottle with a dropper lid.
- I love the fact that you can see exactly how much product is left and the dropper lid makes it super easy to control how much you're using.
- Has an oily texture.
- As well as drying my nails it also kinda moisturizes around your nail bed.
- This is a HUGE plus for me because nailpolish remover always makes my cuticles really dry.
- Just like the Drip Dry Drops from OPI
- It’s a cheaper alternative to the Drip Dry Drops and they’re made by the same company.
- I can’t even tell one difference between the two products
- These drops have eliminated all the blowing and the waving and I never have to repaint them because of accidentally smudging them anymore.
- Double it up with a quick-dry top coat like Seche Vite (<- click for review) and it dries EVEN faster!
What I Didn’t Like About the Nicole by
OPI Drying Drops:
- You have to be careful not to get the oil on anything.
- ***I have never had a problem with it staining anything though!! Never hurts to be careful I guess.

Overall i love the Nicole by OPI Drying Drops. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t find them earlier. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them.
