I cannot remember the last time I went outside without a good manicure. Good nails equal a good day. I find that nail polish really helps to compliment my sense of fashion and gives me a chance to put my creativity to the test.
Good nail polish can last long, look great, and sometimes even help to protect your nails. I prefer to have a variety of colors, different coating options, and polishes that give me variation in terms of finishes. If you’re not sure which to buy, then look no further. I’ve listed the best of the best below.
Beetles Gel Nail Polish Kit
“Love the array of colors! I’ve always been a fan of beetles nail polishes and these are no exception. yes the bottles are small but if you keep your nails short and using them on yourself, you’ll get enough uses. For the price I really can’t complain. I’ve inserted a picture but my paint job isn’t the best, still a work in progress lol.” — Madison
Beetles Candy Cane Gel Nail Polish Set
“I’ve been buying beetles gel polishes since about May 2019 when I started doing my own nails. They are my absolute favorite. Colors are pretty dead on with the example given (see 1st photo), the smell is very minimal, the polish goes on smoothly not thick and clumpy like some other brands and it lasts forever. I am not a trained professional. Second photo is also a beetles polish. It’s just for reference on how nice the beetles polish looks.” — Shanda P.
Nicole Miller Mini Nail Polish Set
“My daughter and I love this set. The colors are vibrant, the brush is easy to use, dries fast, and looks great! There are so many colors to choose from, you won’t be bored.” — Karen
GAOY Glitter Gel Nail Polish Set
“Just what I wanted! Great colors. First time using it as I got for Christmas and it’s been in for five days so far and no chipping. The blue has a little sparkle in it but pretty solid otherwise. Goes on smooth. Needs three coats but love it. Get it!” — Kim Z.
BONTIME Non-Toxic Nail Polish
“This polish is great. It has no odor and dries very fast. It dries so fast that you can’t go over the same area twice or else it starts to clump. You have to wait 90 seconds between each layer and correct it on the second layer. The pale pink is very hard to work with and streaky. The other colors look great. I highly recommend using this at night before bed because you have to avoid submerging your hands in water for four hours for it to fully dry. Although it does dry to touch within 90 seconds, meaning if you hit the nail against something, it won’t leave a mark. Once dry it will stay on for a few days. I notice that it does chip on the tip if I scrub dishes or do anything that involves water and intense scrubbing.” — Amazon Customer
Nicole Miller Total Nudes Nail Polish Collection
“I’ve only used this one color so far but it went on really smooth and I love how the color came out. I used a nail strengthening polish as my base coat and top coat.” — Jenika
BORN PRETTY Nude Gel Polish Kit
“I absolutely love this polish. I love the transparent nude effect it gives. I love a natural looking nail, especially in my career field. I also love that you can make it as loud or muted as you’d like since it pairs well with just about any color. Some of the reviews mention there was no color, which is why I added the photos of my nail samples, where I used 2 coats of polish. I used different backgrounds so that you can fully see all of the colors, and the nail samples are clear, which means on a white nail you would see even more of the color. I recommend this for anyone, just pay attention to the words…transparent meaning the is supposed to be transparency.” — Krystal B.
Modelones Gel Nail Polish Set
“Love it! I was so excited to try so I did my daughters toes first we both loves how it came out! I gave myself a mani pedi the next day and it came out perfect. I’ve gotten so many compliments. People are surprised when I tell them I did it myself! I normally spend $53 at the salon for a gel mani pedi on natural nails! I bought this for $30 and the light for $20…need I say more…” — A’Shanna
Kleancolor Nail Polish
“YES! Buy these gorgeous colors, you won’t be disappointed. Almost complete coverage in 1 thin coat, I used 2 coats. Be careful of staining. Test colors stained my silicone mat after 12 hours. Most colors great for stamping–see pictures. (Yes, I know Fuchsia is spelled wrong, that’s the way it is on the label.) I’m sure they will ombre nicely, not sure about water marbling since they dry really quick. Def worth the price. Would make a great gift for the nail polish collector in your life (or yourself).” — Amazon Customer
Color Changing Gel Nail Polish
“I don’t think I will ever STOP using Modelones! It is affordable, quality product! I have many other gel polishes, and I am thrilled that they came out with these neons! I did put a coat of white under them (not needed, but I like the extra pop it gives any neons). The yellow could be a little more rich, but other than that they are great! I will be using these a LOT ! Thanks Modelones for the great products as always!!!” — Tiffany
