The Refinery29 Jaimen Sfetko In A Rush? tutorial provides essential cosmetic tips on behalf the nail expert. Sfetko points out that while many women enjoy the perfection of an [in-salon manicure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/10beauty), [at-home designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-nail-edit) are often marred by scratches and uneven polish.

To get around this common problem, Sfetko brings up a seldom seen tip. She advises women to place their [freshly painted nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourinone-nail-polis) in a bowl of ice cold water, one that viewers should have prepared prior to the lacquer application process. The beauty guru recommends removing one's hands for 30 seconds at a time should the water be too cold. The icy temperatures are worth it however as the trick drastically cuts down drying times.
