Behind the scenes at runway shows like Trina Turk, Dennis Basso and Yigal Azrouel, Freedom's fast dry will save crucial time for models that have to change in and out of clothes quickly. And, because their nails handle so much abuse during Fashion Week, getting such a glossy shine without the harsh chemicals associated with gels is big news.
