  intro: "Polish that feels dry to the touch is not fully cured. The surface hardens within minutes — enough that light contact won't smear. The layers beneath take considerably longer. Standard nail polish reaches full cure in approximately two hours at room temperature. Until that point, sustained pressure — keys in a pocket, a tight grip, resting the hand on a surface — will dent the polish even when it shows no surface tackiness. Quick-dry drops and sprays accelerate the surface cure and reduce smearing risk in the first 10 minutes. They do not accelerate full cure. That distinction matters because most dented manicures happen between 15 minutes and 2 hours after the top coat is applied — precisely the window where the surface feels safe but the underlayers are still mobile.",

    h: "The difference between surface-dry and fully cured",
    body: "Surface-dry means the top layer of polish has hardened enough to resist smearing under light touch — typically 5 to 10 minutes after application. Fully cured means all layers, including base coat and colour coats beneath, have completed their solvent evaporation and hardened throughout. Full cure takes approximately two hours for standard polish at room temperature. Between surface-dry and fully cured, the nail is vulnerable to denting under any sustained pressure. Quick-dry products target the surface-dry window only.",

  myths: [
    { m: "If polish doesn't smear when you touch it, it's fully dry.",
      t: "Surface tackiness disappears long before full cure. Polish that passes a light touch test can still dent under a firm grip, a tight waistband, or a hand resting on a desk. Two hours is the reliable benchmark for full cure." },
    { m: "Quick-dry drops cut the total cure time in half.",
      t: "Quick-dry drops accelerate surface hardening, which reduces the risk of smearing in the first 10 minutes. They do not accelerate the curing of lower layers. Full cure still takes the same time." },
    { m: "Thicker coats dry faster because there's more product to harden.",
      t: "Thicker coats take significantly longer to dry. Solvent in the lower layers cannot evaporate through a sealed surface coat. Thin coats dry faster at every stage — surface and full cure." },
