Sally Hansen Nail Growth MiracleLiquid gold in a little gold bottle. This clear polish lives up to its miracle moniker as well as its promises to grow nails longer -- but 30 percent in five days? Hard to say. The key ingredients here are proteins like soy (which helps nails retain moisture so they don't get brittle), keratin (a natural ingredient in nails...More |

Avon Instant Pedicure Dry Nail Enamel StripsThese enamel strips go on like stickers and have zero drying time or stink. You'll have your toes looking perfect in less than 10 minutes. The polish lasted over a week -- not as long as regular OPI polish, but impressive -- and removed with regular polish remover. Obviously it's not a salon pedicure experience, and there a...More |

Zoya Nail PolishPregnant women, rejoice! This top polish comes in more than 240 colors and doesn't contain toxins like formaldehyde and toluene. But the thick formula makes application difficult, so dab it on sparingly. One coat does the trick in most cases, and it can last an amazing three weeks on toes. Hands? Different story. Polish nev...More |

Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer"Lacquer" says it all. It delivers bold, bright color in one quick-drying coat, and stands up to its claims of being "so shiny it looks wet." Another plus? The chip factor is seriously low -- even without being protected by a top coat. The museum-glass-thick bottle is cute and practically shatter-proof. ...More |

Chanel Le Vernis Nail ColourThe appeal of this glamorously bottled polish lies in its brand name and coveted, unique colors, but not in much else. Treat freshly manicured nails with care at all times or polish will chip within a week. The decorative bottle cap can separate from the twist top beneath it on occasion -- a bummer. Nails don't feel stronge...More $19.00See more Chanel products |

Sally Hansen Salon Nail LacquerThe 24 shades of this drugstore favorite can't compare to OPI's vast collection, but it's a fair trade-off for the added conditioning and strengthening keratin and botanicals. It's pregnancy-safe (the line contains no DBP, toluene or formaldehyde), but quality suffers. The watery lacquer separates easily and delivers a chun...More |

Avon NAIL EXPERTS Nail BrightenerI had to try this. I wasn't sure what to expect though, I must admit. It went on very easy. It actually just gives the nails a brighter look and a nice shine. It lasts for quite some time and one coat seemed to be enough. i have a hard time with regular nail polish chipping and just looking crappy quickly. I must say that i...More |

ProStrong ProCoat Base and Top CoatI used to bite my nails and when I stopped they were brittle and chipped often. I started using the base and top coat as well as other Prostrong products and now my nails can grow and look beautiful. I was actually able to give my self French manicures and people would ask me where I got them done. It's an amazing product!...More |

SpaRitual MultiTaskerI love this product, not only does it dry fast without the usual sticky/tacky problems that other intensive top coats have, but it does not yellow or crack and peel. Knowing its free of harmful chemicals is a huge bonus. In general I LOVE SpaRitual's easy grip handle (also eco friendly) - its saved my nails and carpet a mi...More |

SpaRitual Dramatic High Notes Nail LacquerI've been wearing this polish for two weeks, including gardening and lots of typing, and the chipping is minimal. Colors are bright but tastfeul and come out pretty much how they appear in the bottle. Easy application with rubbery, grooved handle and luxe packaging. Free of most harmful ingredients, although definitely sti...More |
