And although our efforts cannot and will never compare to that of a professional, what we did discover after a lockdown at-home nail painting is that not all nail polish brands are created equal. Having inadvertently tried just about every nail polish brand out there between us, we’ve come to realise that some formulations really are superior, higher price points don’t always mean better quality, and chipping shouldn’t come standard. As always, we like to keep things positive, so instead of giving space to the brands that didn’t live up to our expectations, we’re spotlighting the brands that surpassed them.
From covetable designer bottles to affordable favourites you can pick up on your next pharmacy run, scroll below to discover the best nail polish brands.
