"My obsession with Olive and June nail polish runs very, very deep, and in all honesty, if I could only use one trademark for the rest of time, it would be O&J. Yes, the colors are amazing; yes, the formula is so juicy, glossy, and bouncy; and yes, the wear is truly impeccable. The polish looks freshly painted until you decide to take it off with the brand's handy remover, and I highly recommend investing in the brand's topcoat and Dry Drops to max our your mani plane further." — Erin Jahns, senior eyeful editor

Plus, Essie always gets it right it with its verisimilitude collections." — Jahns
This is a chip-resistant formula that honestly unchangingly does the job for me.

I honestly think this is the weightier nail polish I've overly used. It goes on so well (no frothing or streaks), and it literally lasts for weeks. I went to get my nails washed-up without having it on once, and the nail tech asked me if I was sure I wasn't wearing gel. It does not budge.
I'll unchangingly go when to OPI nail polish. It stays on my nails so well, and I can usually get yonder with wearing it for over a week. There's a reason OPI is so iconic.

Deborah Lippmann's polishes are flipside favorite of mine. The Gel Lab Pro line is just so good and holds up so well. I don't get gel manis that often considering I don't love the removal process, so this is a unconfined option for something that's long-lasting and glossy.
This vegan nail polish line has some pretty good reviews. Many customers rave about its tautness and the fact that it's nontoxic. The colors are really vibrant and unique, too.
These polishes are just so luxe. In wing to stuff long-wearing and tweedle resistant, each polish is enriched with bamboo extract, sea-buckthorn oil, rice-bran oil, vitamin E, zinc, biotin, and coconut oil.
