I think I have to try the Rimmel polish now. 9+ rating and only $2?!

Totally agree with all the picks in this article, especially Essie, my fav!

by LindaDD Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 01:48PM Report as inappropriate

Guess, I'm a gusher of Wet 'n' Wild it is a good polish and you can't beat the $$$ - I also thin my nail polish when it appears too thick but with ordinary remover - it works girls. ESSIE is overpriced for what you get. Not in my everyday budget. 'That's all FOLKS'

by HandbagLover Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 01:43AM Report as inappropriate

Wet 'n' Wild pricing is fantastic and it is a good nail polish if you use a good base coat and a super top coat, like Nails Alive.

by HandbagLover Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 01:38AM Report as inappropriate

I always go back to ESSIE! And Seche Vite makes a nail polish thinner, I think it's called Restore? Really does the trick! Also their top coat is the best I've found.

good article

I like Avon, China Glaze, and one which wasn't mentioned--CoverGirl's "Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss." It has a built-in topcoat and looks fresh for more than a week, even with vivid shades!

by GigiSD Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 07:56PM Report as inappropriate

I believe I'll try the Avon brand.

by JenniHusker Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 01:52PM Report as inappropriate

Wet n Wild is fine for the price :)

by cindy11052 Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 08:41PM Report as inappropriate

Needs updating. Covergirl's outlast Stay Brilliant is one of my new favorites

by Alana_Danes Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 03:01PM Report as inappropriate

Totally agree with the list. I stopped using Avon. Even though I love the colors, they separate quickly and the brush is too thin! LOVE Essie, OPI, and Wet N Wild nail polish. This list needs to be updated to include Pure Ice Nail Polish!!! I would say that would be tied, next to Wet N Wild, as a drugstore favorite!!!

by darkangel81 Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 08:22AM Report as inappropriate

Very cool list. I'm glad they were all reasonably priced.

I love Zoya nail polish. Affordable and TONS of colors. I can think of a few good brands that were omitted from this list.

by unfamiliargirl Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 08:43PM Report as inappropriate

I L-O-V-E China Glaze polishes. Every time I go to Sally's Beauty Supply I found myself picking up a new color, it's safe to say I'm obsessed at this point!

by MizzPink Monday, December 3, 2012 at 10:59AM Report as inappropriate

Butter London deserves a spot on this list -- it's the best nail polish I've ever used. OPI seems to be more popular because of its constantly-expanding selection than its actual quality. And I find Essie too runny.

by liquidlinernote Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 07:23AM Report as inappropriate

OPI just released a collection inspired by the new Bond movie, gorgeous colors

by kimihavens Sunday, November 4, 2012 at 11:20AM Report as inappropriate

I'm obssessed with nail polish and I really like most of the nail polishes mentioned in this. I think that the Wet n Wild nail polishes are really good too. They're really cheap too but they have good quality.

by BReal Monday, October 29, 2012 at 07:42AM Report as inappropriate

I would love to see a not so popular nail polish post. There are other amazing polishes no one really hears about: Nfu-Oh, butter london, nails inc., and Ciate just to name a few.

i have so many of the Avon nail polishes. I love them! and new colors come out all the time!

I never heard of this nail polish brand. Now I'm curious, the colors look so pretty!

by Ladybugg9 Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 12:46AM Report as inappropriate

Little pricey, but worth it for there intense color and staying power.

LOVE relvon!!! Affordable and color payoff from nail polish is Amaze-balls!!!

by flower_couture Monday, October 1, 2012 at 02:02AM Report as inappropriate

I'm guessing this article must be older because the Maybelline, Wet N Wild and Rimmel polishes they featured don't exist anymore, at least not in drug stores (although I did find a Maybelline the other day at KMart. Lippmann's are not $15, more like $18+ and OPI and China Glaze are definitely not $6, more like $8. And I love how one of the reviewers describes herself as a polish whore with 50 nail polishes.. I'm up to about 390 (and that's not even a lot in the nail polish community) so what does that make me?

by Karica4 Friday, September 28, 2012 at 10:26PM Report as inappropriate

Essie, Revlon, and OPI are my favorites!

by yadijane Monday, September 24, 2012 at 06:27PM Report as inappropriate

Revlon polishes chip like crazy on me and my friends. I'm surprised to see them on this list. I love Butter LONDON polishes and think they deserve a spot!

by yun_yuwa Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 12:50AM Report as inappropriate

Love that you included some less pricey options! I always want to try different colors, but I'm terrible at picking them - they never look quite the same on my nails as they do in the bottle, which just scares me.

by schien Sunday, September 2, 2012 at 05:44PM Report as inappropriate

Totally agree, China Glaze and OPI are the best! Wearing China Glaze "Dress Me Up" from Hunger Games, it is gorgeous. My favorite is "For Audrey" by OPI, looks like Tiffany blue. Surprised Chanel didn't make the list!

by MissAmy00 Wednesday, July 25, 2012 at 12:58PM Report as inappropriate

My favourites aren't on here! Nubar make amazing colours, as do A England. That said, China Glazes are pretty good, I've found. Deborah Lipmann is far too expensive, so I only have one colour, and I haven't had much luck with it unfortunately!

by catherine_bouris Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at 07:46AM Report as inappropriate

Cannot believe you have nail polish list without CHANEL or Nars on it. Both brands have cult favorite colors that began trends - didn't simply follow them.

by Jennifer10708 Tuesday, July 10, 2012 at 10:45AM Report as inappropriate

Great information! I was happy to see that most were very reasonably price.

by tonyadiamond Monday, July 9, 2012 at 11:11PM Report as inappropriate

julep is the best nail polish ever. it doesn't streak and most colors are opaque in 1-2 coats.

by springsblue Monday, July 9, 2012 at 06:00PM Report as inappropriate

Nothing will ever beat the almighty OPI in my opinion.

I love China Glaze polishes. They wear like iron and the color selection is awesome. I have more of them than any other brand.

by CountryGirl78 Saturday, May 19, 2012 at 11:19AM Report as inappropriate

Love Sally Hanson - Complete Salon Manicure goes on really easy, dries quick and lasts for two or three days. Avon a close second.

i love to use revlon , maybelline and lippmann. cos they have different color collection and they stay longer ........

Why can't polish stay on our hands as long as it stays on our feet?

by diamondsmiles Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 03:59PM Report as inappropriate

Charles of the Ritz had the best polish in the 80's and 90's. No clue if they are still in business. I used to do my nails every Thursday and they stayed all weekend and week at work with typing.

by diamondsmiles Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 03:52PM Report as inappropriate

I really like the new Wet and Wild polish. Not a ton of shades yet but they look nice and dry quickly. Never really liked the Maybelline express finish. To me, Essie and Opi are overrated. The new Loreal polishes stay on decent and the colors are gorgeous.

by Nicole1021 Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 07:07AM Report as inappropriate

LOVE Revlon nail polish. I probably have 25 Revlons at the very least. China Glaze is my other favorite, I have a LOT of those, too.

by catalinahx Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 10:38AM Report as inappropriate

Of course I love Avon polish but my close second is OPI !

by Crystal0107 Friday, May 4, 2012 at 08:04AM Report as inappropriate

I LOVE Essie and China Glaze, however I hate how long they seem to take to dry! I usually use Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, but occasionally when I have the time to wait around for my nails to dry, I'll use Essie or China Glaze.

I love Lippman nailpolishes and have five or six right now. They are absolutely beatiful, but on the pricey side unfortunately. My next go to is OPI and I just started using Julep too which is very nice.

by beautybody Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 09:18PM Report as inappropriate

I don't use any of these brands. I use NYX, Jordana and Milani and some are really great and some are meh, just like any brand I guess.

by hananoire Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 06:39AM Report as inappropriate

Wet and Wild has nice colours, goes on well but has no longevity. Even when using a quality topcoat you will be always toching up or completely redoing your nails. As nailpolish can be time consuming as well as strong smelling, it isnt something I want to have to redo constantly. With a good base and top polish should easily go a week with top coat added every 2nd day. I always buy speed dry topcoat and pay way more for it than polish. Sally Hansen or OPI make good ones. something to think about to protect from yellowing and look fresh. Nothing looks worse than chipped polish!

by mum21 Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 10:20PM Report as inappropriate

Avon nail polish is very under rated, I think. I haven't used it in a long time though. Revlon and China Glaze are excellent mid price polishes newbies should try first, in my opinion.

by catalinahx Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 11:46AM Report as inappropriate

OPI is classic, but I am in love with Rimmel right now - surprisingly amazing stuff!

by glamgirlseven Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 11:04PM Report as inappropriate

OPI...$5.99? Where? I haven't seen them less than $8. Also I don't like how some of OPI polishes are really thin. I bought one because online it looks great, got it home...not so much. I gave it away.

I disagree. I avidly use Essie and OPI, but I really dislike china glaze and only use it when it has a color I like that OPI and Essie don't have

OPI is one of the best nail polishes, but I agree, china glaze has an edge on it, especially because of the more agreeable price!

by sofaloaf Monday, January 16, 2012 at 04:21PM Report as inappropriate

I know a LOT of people are gonna hate me for this, but honestly, OPI has never wowed me as much as other brands, like China Glaze, Essie, or even Milani and NYX. To me, they're only popular because Sephora carries the line and that's "the" brand that most people think of when they think of nail polish, but other brands are definitely better.

by Kokome Friday, January 13, 2012 at 09:28PM Report as inappropriate

I haven't tried CG yet, but OPI is good enough for me. I'm surprised I don't see Nubar in the list. I personally think it's pretty good.

Nail polish can be a tricky thing. I think I like it but after I put it on, I hate it. thanks for the tips to try.

covergirl nailpolish????

I almost use OPI exclusively now. I get so many compliments on my nail polish. I use to buy the $1 bottles at Walmart but it really is worth paying the $7. The colors are long lasting, shiny, and easy to apply. I would like to try China Glaze sometime and maybe Essie.

I've been using OPI forever and I think I want to look for the covergil one. And I'm not a huge nail polish person.

NOTHING BETTER THAN OPI - LONG LASTING SPECIALLY WITH REJUVACOTE AS BASE, SECHE VITE AS TOP. $8 IS NORMAL PRICE - FAVS ARE CAJUN SHRIMP - SUMMER AND STRAWBERRY MARGARITA - REMAINDER OF YEAR. FOND OF THEIR NEW SPARKLE SERIES W/ GLITTER FOR MY TOES - TAKE THE STAGE THE BEST

i get either china glaze or OPI. I get opi for about $4 a bottle and china glaze about $3.25 a bottle. It all depends on whats out currently and brand specials at my pro supply.

you can find OPI and china glaze for 5.99 at sally beauty supply

by icecoldxox Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 10:44AM Report as inappropriate

I prefer OPI or China Glaze formulas, however, I would love to know where they are buying OPI for 5.99 because most stores and salons sells it for $7 to $8 a bottle! For crazy colors I go for the cheaper China Glaze and for glamour and class go for OPI

China Glaze is a great brand of polish for all the reasons that have been mentioned in the article. However, regarding the formula, I personally prefer OPI because is easier for me to apply it.

All companies Neons always dry matte, if you don't like the finish use a top coat or don't buy neons,

by FridayLong Saturday, July 3, 2010 at 06:44PM Report as inappropriate

The essie neon or bright colors are like cheap acrylic paint. They go on dull and gloppy. I totally disagree with the article.
