A single coat can give you the nail look you want. As one Ipster says, “Beautiful color. Easy and smooth application.” Another Ipster wrote, “The formula and the brush were exceptional.

The non-toxic formula delivers strength and shine, and even the bottle shape and brush were made for precise, easy application. Ipster @pandabjammin says it “goes on smooth and lasts!” Just remember to use a base coat before applying the polish, which will keep your beautiful pigment intact for a longer time.

6. The Best Color Variety: COLOR CLUB Nail Polish

So you want to change up your color on the daily? No problem! Each of this brand’s 250 nail polish colors offers you something unique and different—from the boldest neons to the brightest holographics. The highly pigmented formula, full coverage, and long wear are second to none.

One Ipster says, “This color and brand has got me into a nail polish addiction frenzy. This color is amazing. It's long lasting and dries fairly quickly. Love this color and brand!”

7. The Best Red Polish: BETTY BOOP x IPSY Nail Polish in Little Red Dress

This is the nail polish equivalent to the classic red lipstick. The shimmery opaque red is gorg on all skin tones and perfectly represents the iconic cartoon bombshell. It’s also long-wearing, highly pigmented, and sure to create a flirty, sexy vibe. Ipster @deejd2002 says, “This product is amazing. I only put one coat on and it was thick and beautiful,” and another Ipster says they “love bettyboop and this color is great for the toes and fall:).” While the limited-edition polish is exclusive to IPSY members, you can also opt for a similar color like this one.

One Ipster is a self-proclaimed fan of this brand, and a “nailpolish-holic—luv it!”

10. The Best Matte Color: KASCA Nail Polish

If you want bold, statement-making nails in a dramatic matte look, this is your pick. The polish’s inky shades go on totally opaque—plus, they dry quickly and don’t chip.
