We think putting nail polish in a pump-able pen is genius. But the gorgeous YSL Nail Touch Nail Lacquer Brush Pen No. 2 costs a whopping $25. If you can sacrifice the luxurious gold packaging, Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen comes in the same shade, Sheer Beige, and works the same way for only $7.99.

M.A.C., Chanel, Dior and OPI are my favorite polish brands! I love nail polish so any brand that's got a pretty color I like is going to be the one I get.

Great article! It is always a bonus to get the same awesome nail looks as the expensive polishes for half the price or even less. Im a nail polish junkie and its articles like these that let me and my daughter keep our nail polish habit going without breaking us!!!!

I wear all kinds and since I started using Orly Bonder as my base, they all last. Cheap or pricey they all look good. But I like the copies as sometimes you just can't find the hot polish. Although if it looks pretty close, why spend the money. Just getting read to try my first bottle of Nails,Inc's Magnetic Polish.

I go for the sephora nail polish. I need more red!

Cheap vs. $$$$ doesn't matter most of the time as long as you have a good base coat, and top coat. Plus try to price compare at several places and even online to get the best deal.
