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 $8.00 See more Avon products |

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 |

Orly Gem CollectionThis entire collection is GORGEOUS! My fave color is the Golden Maharaja which reminds me a little bit of root beer, the shade is pretty dynamic! Sea Of The Light is my second fave color, it's a gorgeous pink that's not too fuschia and doesn't take on coral. They all have some shimmer except for the Mandalay Ruby which i...More $81.99See more Orly products |

OPI Sephora by OPII have always been a big fan of OPI nail polish, and when I saw that Sephora was carrying it, I figured that I would be getting the best of two companies! I get my nails done every other week, so I brought a bottle of the polish with me for my nail tech to use. What I didn't realize was how long it would last! My nail polis...More |
