1.NYC (BEST BUDGET NAIL POLISH)
WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
Price tag under $2
Lasts longer than one would expect for a budget nail polish
Quick drying
Pros:
While this budget polish is primarily advertised for its ability to dry quickly, we cannot get over how long the polish stays put without chipping. Add to that the amazing price and trendy range of colors and you’ve got yourself quite a deal!
Cons:
Unfortunately this polish is not super pigmented, so it may take several coats to reach your desired color.

EXPERT RATINGS
FEATURES 9.5 / 10
In addition to being budget friendly and long lasting, this polish dries in a New York minute (and we can attest to that). It goes on smooth and lasts for days. Oh, and you can buy it for under $2. Who doesn’t love that?

We have to give an honorable mention to Wet and Wild Megalast Nail Color as a close second for the best budget nail polish. While it comes in an adorable bottle and features a square brush for easy application, we found this polish to be a bit goopy taking way too long to dry–which is why we ultimately went with NYC as the best budget option.

SHADES 9.5 / 10
A lot–over 100 to be exact! We were also surprised by how much we loved the range of colors, expect fashion-forward shades that you would see in the most expensive of nail polish lines. Personally, we’re big fans of Park Avenue and Full Metal Jacket, but regardless of what you’re looking for NYC offers something for everyone.

LONG LASTING 9.5 / 10
Lasts for days without chipping, even through constant hand washing.

VALUE 9.5 /10
Unreal! Pick up a bottle (or 10) at your local CVS or Walgreens for under $2!

A visit to a local nail lounge or an appointment with your go-to nail tech will beautify both your fingernails and toenails.
