The Longest Lasting Nail Polish You Can Buy Is Also the Cheapest


Consumer Reports tested several nail polish brands and found that the $2 Sinful Colors nail polish looked good for a longer time than a $27 Chanel model.


Sinful Colors, along with CND Vinylux and Revlon, looked very good at day 7 and good at day 10, while the Chanel Le Vernis didn't even come close. Of the three top-rated brands, Sinful Colors is the cheapest, even when you include the full set with a base coat and top coat—and those are two elements Consumer Reports recommends you don't skip, unless you want convenience.



Sinful Colors is top-rated and a CR Best Buy. It takes longer to dry than the other polishes, so if quick drying is important, choose CND Vinylux. If the convenience of one-step application appeals, try Sally Hansen or Covergirl.



Long-lasting isn't the only criteria in making a great nail polish. In response to the test, Chanel told ABC News that Le Vernis is "designed to find the optimum balance between color, shine, lacquered effect, lasting hold, speed of drying and nail hydration and protection."
