Good drugstore nail polish?

[user79]

What drug store nail polish do you like, and which ones last a decent amount of time before chipping?

Please list your fav drugstore brands, also which ones you don't like.

For me, I like Maybelline because I like their colour range, and I think the formula glides on so smoothly. But, it doesn't last very long before chipping.

Nivea Beaute lasts super long on me, like around a week before chipping (with basecoat on) but it takes ages to dry so I get marks and scratches on it. Meh.

Sally Hansen nailpolishes are awful, imo. They dry out so fast and chip easily.

L'Oreal dry out so fast and is too thick.

Revlon, I hate the brush!

I have a favorite base coat and top coat at the drugstore. It's called Total Nail Rx. The base coat is salmon colored and has the words, "fill me in", under the title of the product. The top coat is clear and under the title of the product is the words, "shine on".

I can tell which one to stay away from due to chipping like 12 hours later-Milani. Good shadows, bad polishes.

Sinful nail polish is very nice and the price is 1.99 at Walgreens! great colors and staying power. i dont care for revlon at all because it chips away to fast.

i like the loreal studio something nailpolishes. Good colors, very smooth, shiny ect. You can get them basically anywhere loreal is sold!

I love the Sally Hansen Salon formula polishes (big square bottles), Milani, and the Sinful polishes.

I haven't had much luck with Wet n' Wild polishes.

Honestly, for me, it's all about the base coat & top coat

this is one of my fave sally hansens:

i agree with makeba on Sinful nailpolishes.
I've had good experience with Milani polishes, but only in combination with good quality base+top coats.
I really hate N.Y.C. polishes. They ruin my nails and chip really fast! Same goes for Wet N Wild.
Rimmel polishes are nice, but don't dry as shiny as I like so be sure to use a good topcoat.

I love Rimmel's nail polish
Its thick, quick drying and doesnt chip easily

I hate Sally Hansen et N.Y.C. ones
Its always too clear, and chip as fast as the wind!

I always use a silk base coat (silk treatment by Brucci) and a top coat (Acrylic top coat by Brucci).

Whenever I do the base coat + cheap color + top coat, that combo looks better and lasts longer than when I use an expensive polish all by itself. Besides the base and top coat, I always just buy for good color. I like Sinful, N.Y.C., Wet 'N Wild, and Milani for that. They are all very cheap.

I have found Revlon polishes to be very nice & have great staying power. I think they are my favorite drugstore polish brand.

I like Sinful, Isadora, and sometimes Rimmel polishes.

Revlon's chip too quickly and I hate their formula, and Loreal's not only chip, they PEEL. I don't like most of the Sally Hansen polishes either, save for the Salon ones (and the Nail Prisms when they were still around). The rest of them take forever and a day to dry (especially the Xtreme Wear ones) and in my opinion, chip quickly. The Salon ones don't seem to have that problem.

I really like Rimmel nail color. It lasts for a super long time with a base coat. Plus I find that when I'm in a crunch I don't really need a top coat because it drys pretty shiny.

Does OPI count? I technically can find that in a drugstore, as well as Orly.

I do like Revlon and haven't had problems with the brush.

 

[threelittlebirds]

I also like Revlon. I've tried some Maybelline, L'oreal, Covergirl, NYC, Wet n' Wild and Sally Hansen. Revlon seems to last the longest, Sally Hansen after that.

NYC, Wet n' Wild were both terrible. Chipped within 2 days. I'm so so for the rest.

I love OPI though. If you can find them on sale, they're only a bit more than drugstore polishes and I think it's well worth it.

Nivea Beauté works amazingly.

Sephora brand would chip out after two days.

 

[Purity]

I love the mini-bottles from Mavala, they're cheap, come in lots of colours, stay on well for a couple of days and you'll acctually have time to use up the whole bottle before it dries out

 

[Honey B. Fly]

covergirl (the brush i perfect 4 my nails + it lasts about 4-5 days) and milani (good shade range and lasts 2-3days)

 

[sandyyyy <3]

I like Sinful Polishes. They last long and they don't chip easily. I think wet n wild polishes are ok because to me they didn't chip that easily. I don't like NYC nail polishes it's too sheer and it chips easily.

 

[versace]

i like maybelline,but i dont mind any kind since i discovered MAVALA SPEED DRY polish,i put it over anything,and watch the magic,it dries in 10 seconds no metter how much layers i put.
I know this wasnt question but i ADORE RIMMEL HARDENE TREATMENT IN @ WEEKS because i have fragile nails but with this,they cannot brake,i was amazed,i tried a lot of nail hardenerz loreal,maybelline etc its nothing

 

[versace]

i meant rimmel harder nails in 2 weeks
