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.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Bronze Goddess (left) will give your nails the glowing tan of a Brazilian beach goddess -- for $18. But L'Oreal Paris Nail Polish in Goldy Lucks can do it for less (only $4.59). Take your pick!

You really can't go wrong with a romantic rose polish. The classic Lancome Le Vernis in Beige Elegance (left), $18, looks a hint more brown than Zoya Professional Lacquer in Penelope, $6, but the miniscule difference is well worth a savings of $12.

We thought we'd never find a match to Shu Uemura Nail Enamel Supplement Mineral in Gold Zest, $16, a beautiful, shimmering light gold. But OPI's India Collection came through. Curry Up Don't Be Late!, $8.50, is a near-exact copy, sans seaweed extracts and the "tri-color confetti pearls" that give Shu Uemura's gold a subtle kaleidoscope effect. (Both polishes are formaldehyde- and toluene-free.)

From time to time, brands launch limited edition colors like MAC Nail Lacquer in Boom!, $10, which sell out almost immediately. No need to panic in this case. Sephora Brand Nail Polish 52 (right), $4, comes in a smaller bottle but looks almost exactly the same after two coats. (Shhh.)
