Almost every cosmetic brand has it’s own nail polish. Unfortunately there isn’t a great deal of outstanding nail polishes to choose from. Usually, the longest lasting formulas only come in traditional colors and the most unique colors come from brands that chip in a day.

A few brands stand out because they have both quality and imagination. The most important aspects of any nail polish are how evenly it applies, how long is last, and how true it is the color seen through the bottle. These brands make the best polishes and they’re all prices under $10.
