There are many, many brands of nail polish. It will be difficult for us to choose the right product lines. Today Sassy Nail & Spa will tell you about some of the best nail polishes
1. NYC (BEST BUDGET NAIL POLISH)
WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
A price tag under $2
Lasts longer than one would expect for a budget nail polish
Quick-drying
PROS
While this budget polish is primarily advertised for its ability to dry quickly, we cannot get over how long the polish stays put without chipping. Add to that the amazing price and trendy range of colors and you've got yourself quite a deal!
CONS
Unfortunately, this polish is not super pigmented, so it may take several coats to reach your desired color.
EXPERT RATINGS
FEATURES 9.5 / 10 In addition to being budget-friendly and long-lasting, this polish dries in a New York minute (and we can attest to that). It goes on smoothly and lasts for days. Oh, and you can buy it for under $2. Who doesn't love that? We have to give an honorable mention to Wet and Wild Megalast Nail Color as a close second for the best budget nail polish. While it comes in an adorable bottle and features a square brush for easy application, we found this polish to be a bit goopy taking way too long to dry--which is why we ultimately went with NYC as the best budget option. SHADES 9.5 / 10 A lot--over 100 to be exact! We were also surprised by how much we loved the range of colors, except fashion-forward shades that you would see in the most expensive of nail polish lines. We're big fans of Park Avenue and Full Metal Jacket, but regardless of what you're looking for NYC offers something for everyone.
LONG-LASTING 9.5 / 10 Lasts for days without chipping, even through constant hand washing. VALUE 9.5 /10 Unreal! Pick up a bottle (or 10) at your local CVS or Walgreens for under $2! OVERALL EDITOR SCORE WAS 9.5 / 10
2. Red Carpet Manicure Color Dip Nail Kit (BEST MANICURE COLOR DIP)
WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
21 shades to choose from
Easy to apply
Gentle and non-suffocating on nails
PROS
Now, if you're a nail polish newbie, this may not be the option for you. However, if you're interested in stepping outside of your nail enamel comfort zone we highly recommend this dip kit. CONS
A bit overwhelming and may take some time to get the hang of.
EXPERT RATINGS
FEATURES 9.0 / 10 So what's included in this kit? To put it short, a lot. You will receive a brush restorer, topcoat, activator, base coat, and nail powder. As complicated as it seems, this kit is easy to use and will produce intense, vibrant colors with every application. SHADES 9.0 / 10 Although the kit only comes with one color, there is a wide range of flawless colors available. LONG-LASTING 9.5 / 10 If you do it right, a dip manicure could last for up to 21 days (wow!). VALUE 9.5 / 10 Don't let the price intimidate you while it is the most expensive product on our list you get a lot of bang for your buck. If you're up for the challenge, we highly recommend giving this product a try. OVERALL EDITOR SCORE IS 9.3 / 10
3. Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Nail Enamel (BEST DRUGSTORE NAIL POLISH)
WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
Life-resistant wear; will stay put for nearly 5 days
Flawless, salon-quality color
Longwear nail enamel with a gel-like shine
PROS
We at Faveable think this ColorStay nail enamel brought to you by Revlon is the perfect everyday nail polish. While it won't last as long as many of the other polishes on our list, it can be purchased just about anywhere for right around $7. Super affordable and super stylish. Who could say no to that?
CONS
Not as thick as most gel polish and you'll be lucky if you get it to last a full week without chipping. But you get what you pay for, right?
EXPERT RATINGS
FEATURES 9.0 / 10 The Revlon ColorStay formula is rich, but not clumpy, and a single layer is enough for full coverage. However, you can always opt for two layers if you prefer a shiny finish--that may score you an extra day or two without any chipping as well. Additionally, the wide-angle brush coats nails from base to tip for perfectly smooth, bubble-free application. SHADES 9.0 / 10 Revlon ColorStay is available in 30 easy-to-remove shades in vivid, brilliant colors. If you're looking for the perfect year-round color we highly recommend the Queen of Hearts. It's a deep mulberry that would make for the perfect pedicure on any skin tone. LONG-LASTING 9.0 / 10 Although not the longest-lasting polish on our list, Revlon ColorStay is super durable yet still easy to remove. Still expect around 5 days of chip-free wear. Not too shabby! VALUE 9.5 / 10 At $7.99 this is one of the least expensive nail polishes on our list--and at that price like that, you can afford to buy one in every color! OVERALL EDITOR SCORE WAS 9.1 / 10
4. Sally Hansen Miracle Gel (BEST GEL NAIL POLISH)
WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
Over 45 shades are available
In-home gel manicure made easy--no light needed!
Phenomenal price point
PROS
A gel manicure from a polish you can pick up at the drugstore? Who knew! While CND Vinylux was a close second in the best gel nail polish category, we ultimately went with Sally Hansen Miracle gel for a few reasons. Not only did we find the Sally Hansen polish formula a bit thinner for smoother application, but Sally Hansen held up nearly a full 10 days without chipping, compared to the 5 or 6 days most reviewers seemed to get from CND Vinylux.
CONS
Some reviewers report that this polish dries a bit thick and dings/dents easily.
EXPERT RATINGS FEATURES 9.0 / 10 Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is the only true 2-step gel manicure with no UV or LED light needed; Over 45 shades. This polish is also super pigmented, so one coat will almost always do the trick for a full-coverage finish. Additionally, expect soak-free removal that won't damage your nails like a gel manicure at the salon will. SHADES 9.0 / 10 Sally Hansen currently offers over 45 colors to choose from. While that may not be as many as the other brands on our list, the available colors are super trendy--we especially love Tea Party and Little Peony. LONG-LASTING 9.5 / 10 Sally Hansen claims this polish will last up to two weeks, but we would say it's closer to 9 days with no chipping. Still, nothing to scoff at. VALUE 9.0 / 10 Under $10 for a gel manicure? We'll take it! Though, do be aware you need to purchase a topcoat in addition to whatever colors you select, so be sure to factor that into the price as well. OVERALL EDITOR SCORE WAS 9.1 / 10
5. OPI Nail Lacquer (BEST WINTER NAIL COLORS)
WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
Lasts a full week without chipping
Deep hues and cool neutrals perfect for fall and winter
Available in over 200 shades
PROS
As one of the most popular brands in the industry, it should be no surprise that OPI ended up at the top of our list. With an extensive range of colors/textures and a superior formula that will last for nearly a week without chipping, OPI is the go-to brand for nail polish.
CONS
Some users report quality control issues with certain bottles of polish being incredibly thick and clumpy. And even if you do get a good bottle, use it up fast because this polish dries up quickly.
EXPERT RATINGS
FEATURES 9.5 / 10 OPI is one of the most sought-after brands in the industry. The width of the square brush makes for a smooth and easy application--the darks go on evenly and the sheers don’t streak. Additionally, the OPI formula dries quickly and is created to be formaldehyde-free, which is always a good thing. SHADES 9.5 / 10 Available in more than 200 shades, there’s an OPI color for everyone! OPI is known for its elegant classics as well as deep, cool shades--perfect for fall and winter. Lincoln Park After Dark is for sure one of our faves, but users also have a lot of love for Hot & Spicy, Midnight in Moscow, and Pale to the Chief. Also, if you're looking for something to help strengthen and grow your nails, OPI's Nail Envy Nail Strengthener provides maximum strengthening with hydrolyzed wheat protein and calcium for harder, stronger, natural nails in as little as three weeks. LONG-LASTING 9.5 / 10 OPI’s heavily-pigmented Nail Lacquers are long-lasting and chip-resistant, with remarkable staying power providing up to seven days of wear time. VALUE 9.5 / 10 At $10.50 per polish, OPI is definitely in the mid-range of polishes on our list. Although not the cheapest, just over $10 per polish sure beats what you would shell out for that weekly manicure. OVERALL EDITOR SCORE WAS 9.5 / 10
