Let’s talk about Nail Polish today.

But first, listen to this:

“Great nails don’t happen by chance they happen by appointment.” Given a chance, most of us would love to opt for a gel manicure.

The reason is simple – because it is glossy and remains intact for approximately two to three weeks.

As women, we need to handle everything ranging from washing, cleaning, child-care, bathing, and diaper duties, and all other household work that leaves a little room for self. At times it is a tiresome task.

Despite all this, if you manage to take care of your nails then you must have observed that some of the nail polishes didn’t live up to the shine and durability of professional gel polish.

We thought of helping you select the best nail polish that lasts long and does not have any harmful effects on your skin.

We particularly paid attention to the fact considering that women are involved in cooking and child care activities.

So rest be assured that we are going to suggest all the safe products. Ready to get pampered?

let’s dive in!

1. Beetles 23 Pcs Gel Nail Polish Kit

If you always wanted a wide range of colors to try, then Beetles has to be your first choice. Of course, some of the users on Amazon feel that the bottles are too small making it a little expensive but we will try to justify it later as we discuss it further.

Beetles nail polish is made from safe colors making it harmless for application. Along with the different shades of the nail polish, you get 9 toxic free gels.

This includes black, and glitter nail polish. Rest assured, your nail polish won’t fade away for the next 21days if you have used gel polish and cured it under a LED dryer lamp.

Just as our moods change, we need to change the way we dress up too. Sometimes you may want to add the glitz and at the other times, might feel the need to look simple yet gorgeous. In both of the above cases, Beetles won’t disappoint you. It offers a glossy top coat and a matte topcoat to suit different needs.

For anyone who is curious about how nail polish would look like in different lighting environments, have a glance at the above picture that shows how the nail paint looks in different lighting environments and after adding different layers of the coat to the paint.

Now, coming to the most important part – the price! Some users feel that that price is too high because the bottle is just 5 ml in size.

Generally, a standard bottle of gel polish costs more than $12 each.

To have the basics, you’ll need a base coat, (assuming you skip a white or grey base color) one color just to start with, and a topcoat.

At $12 each, your total for all three bottles is $36, and you have just ONE color to use. Add in a LED lamp and it feels as if you have been in a spa.

With Beetles, you get a base coat, a matte topcoat, and a gel top coat in addition to these 20 different colors.

The size of each color is (very clearly) represented in the product description and photos: 5mL.

The base coat and top coats are in 7.5mL bottles, which means that the total quantity of this product bundle is 122.5mL.

That means that you’re paying roughly 0.24 cents per ml of this product.

Whereas the bottle of gel polish that we talked about earlier was costing $12 for a 9ml bottle, which means you’re paying $1.34 per ml.

So cost-wise we can justify that Beetles is a good choice, not an overly priced commodity.

Apart from that let’s not forget that typically, a sample pack is used for trying new products to see if you like them.

Do you want 20 full-size bottles of sample colors that you individually didn’t choose?

Beetles nail polish is worth a try!

2. Kleancolor Nail Polish

Kleancolor is a metallic nail polish made in China and it uses the chemicals Phthalic and Ferric Ferrocyanide which is approved by the FDA for cosmetic use.

The best part is that the nail polish dries on its own and it does not require a LED lamp for curing.

Some of the users complain that they don’t like the smell of this product but probably it is because of the chemicals used.

One of the satisfied users on Amazon has written that colors are highly pigmented and shimmery. The user tried to do a sponge gradient and it worked out fantastic.

Removing the nail polish isn’t a difficult task and you can easily do it by using acetone.

3. Modelones Gel Nail Polish Set

On a lighter note, don’t we get fed up using the same product again and again! Unless the old product is out of stock we don’t buy a new one, isn’t it? That justifies the cost with the size.

The key to applying any gel nail polish is to apply it in thin layers without forming bubbles. This helps the final coat to stay on for a long duration without peeling.

Do not cure the base coat for too long or too short. (It is normal for a base coat to feel a bit sticky after curing so that it could make the next gel coat attach on it more tightly to keep it long-lasting.)

If you apply the nail polish as stated in the directions for use then it won’t easily peel off and would last long. The key is to apply UV and LED light dryer for proper durations.

7. Piggy Paint Scented 100% Non-Toxic Girls Nail Polish

Often we notice that kids try to replicate us in everything we do. At times we certainly don’t want them to get exposed to harmful chemicals even though the companies call their products non-toxic.

Piggy paint is specially meant for kids who love to sit with their mothers and try on their hands at applying nail polish.

Natural ingredients make Piggy Paint nail polish virtually odorless compared to solvent-based alternatives.

It is water-based, free from all chemicals. Having said that, don’t expect it to last long like gel nail polish but then kids often love to change the shades.

The best part is Piggy paint is free from cruelty and chemicals. It is scented although to give it an altogether different feel of nail polish and to give your little one a feeling of being ‘different’ and ‘special’ than others.

So if you are looking for a 100% non-toxic product, free of chemicals then Piggy Paint should be your first choice.

CONCLUSION

So when you choose a nail polish you need to decide whether you want a simple nail polish or a gel-based. Often simple ones look dull and fade away quickly so if you want to use it daily then you will need to apply it frequently.

Contrary to it, gel-based nail polishes last longer and glow. They are available in plenty of shades which makes it possible to choose the ones which can suit both the office and daily routine.

The only problem is that gel-based nail polishes require UV an LED light for drying and as per the specifications of the companies you need to dry your nail polish for the best results.

One more thing to look into is the ingredients used. It should be non-toxic, odor-free, and easily removable.

Lastly, it should be friendly on the budget. That means you should be able to get a fair quantity at a reasonable price.

Looking at all the above suggestions we recommend using Modelones Gel Nail Polish. They fulfill all the above criteria.

So pamper yourself and do let us know how you felt after using our recommended product.
