This is because regular nail polish dries by the natural evaporation of solvents in the air and doesn’t contain any photo-sensitive ingredients. Therefore, even if you place it under a UV or LED nail lamp, it will not speed up the drying process.

Nail lamps are designed for use with gel-type products, such as base coats, color gels, and top coats, which contain photo-sensitizing agents that only cure under UV light exposure.

So, if you're using regular nail polish, you will need to allow it to dry naturally, which typically takes anywhere from a few minutes to over 10 minutes to completely dry.
