No, actually I think it dries more quickly because the layers of polish are thinner. When you drop the polish in the water it disperses on the surface of the water and spreads out.

I've tried this in the past. It was kinda difficult for me. I want to try it again soon.

Another way to do this (works best for long nails... I've got acrylic claws. haha...) is to put a THICK coat of more than one color on your nail. Not on top of each other, but striped... if that makes sense. And then taking a thin paintbrush dipped in water and swirling it through the paint. It has the same effect, but I'm thinking it might be less messy.
I've never done this personally, but the woman who does my nails did them this way once... It came out nice. I should take pics of my nails for everyone here...

we used to do this when I was in highschool with Lotion.
Its great because the lotion allows it to come off the skin where it gets on your skin at.
You just take a little shallow container and fill it with the lotion, and drop your polish on it, whatever pattern you want, then swirl with a toothpick, dip in your nail, let it dry, and wipe off the excess lotion, shouldnt be much left on, the polish usually just sticks.
Her method is so much cleaner though!!!

I used to do it back in HS but I used a different teq. I would paint the nail or tip white. Then I would put a couple of drops of a dif. color and take a toothpick and swirl it. Come to think of it, I'm going to do it now!
