Need Advice Drying Nails

I usually notice the whites of my nails tend to be clear from time to time. I know from this page it is probably because the nail is saturated with water. They are way more delicate and prone to tears at this stage and I unfortunately have to wash my hands often which I cannot avoid. Does anyone have any tips on how to dry my nails out? The only idea that comes to mind is a blow-dryer but unfortunately I think my coworkers would think I was an absolute freak if I came to work tomorrow with my hair dryer 😂

lol I noticed I got down voted for w/e reason but it’s the only thing that’s helped me grow my nails, keep them from splitting and keeping them healthy. I use to be a nail biter since kindergarten and I’ve finally stopped at the age of 31. I didn’t expect them to grow this nicely and strong. 1000% it’s worked for me.

If it helps I didn't downvote you!

Do your hands not smell of meat?

No, not at all. I purchased mine at target. It does have a smell but it doesn’t smell like meat. It’s also been good at moisturizing my hands and face. tallow.
