Lets also talk about nail polish!

[midnightrae]

What brand(s) do you use? What colors did you buy recently? Do you own a lot of nail polish? Talk about nail polish.

I like OPI for the brush and Essie for longevity. My current favorite shade is OPI Barre My Soul which is a sheer beige. Love it.

Anything other than Orly in our house is "the enemy".  
But I have some Zoya, OPI and some others that were gifts/freebies.

I don't buy any of it.  <)

We have several small rubbermaid boxes full of lacquers.

I have a one-of-a-kind specially made for me emerald green that I love.

I love every single Julep polish I own. They are surprisingly pigmented, and many are totally opaque with only 1 coat. They have frequent sales, and a monthly box subscription. I skip most months so I'm not completely overwhelmed with polish, but it's a fun treat when I don't skip. They have a lot of great sales, too. You can try a box for a penny with the code COLOR2012 (not sure if shipping is free or not). Here's my referral link:

OPI is the only one that seems to stay on more than a day, so, that.

I buy pretty much only zoya now. I love it and I only buy it when I can get a great deal.

[TrudyCampbell]

I love Essie!

Agreed.  Love Julep.  Love the subscription.

Essie never stays on my nails, but I like the colors.

Seche Vite topcoat is a miracle.

But I've gotten back into the gel manicures b/c they last for such a long time, and I'm so hard on my nails. It also makes them stronger and less likely to break -- and I'm the asshole who breaks one and then gnaws the rest off because I can't stand when they're uneven.

I love Essie, Orly, OPI. I also buy the Sally Hansen dry fast for the kids. They are perfect, you add some fast drying top coat and they can literally get up and go as soon as you are done, which is awesome with a 2yo. Yes, my 2yo is obsessed with nail polish.

This. I just ordered Alpine Snow and Sweetheart so I can do my French manis since the ones I have are getting goopy. This winter I have been using metal colors on my toes (gunmetal grey, copper, gold etc). With spring I like to do French pedi or coral-y colors. I use Seche Vite topcoat. I love nail polish.

Zoya. I love it. Actually Essie in Wicked is my sneaky find, it looks like Pinot Noir on my nails. So pretty.

I love many OPI colors, but I always have peeling issues when using their polishes.

Same here. My nails, like, repel it. It starts flaking off the same day.

I really like Sinful Colors nail polish. You van get on sale at Walgreens for 99 cents frequently. Their color selection is awesome and it holds up pretty well. I also use OPI, Essie, and a bunch of other brands.

[marqueelurker]

Essie, since it stays forever on my nails. Currently, plumberry, marshmallow, and bobbing for baubles are my favorites.

Though, thanks to this thread, I sense new ones may be added.

[hisno1girl]

I'm not brand loyal. I will use any kind of polish (as evidenced by the 4 dozen or so bottles I have) but one of my favorites is the Butter London that my secret santa BlackCanary got me. It's beautiful silver hologram and I get TONS of compliments every time I use it.

[RoxMonster]

I get gels done every two weeks, so I use the OPI gel lacquer line. I don't own a whole lot of polish myself because I go to get my nails done. Some of my favorite colors include:
I'm Really Not a Waitress
Lincoln Park After Dark
Black Cherry Chutney
Cajun Shrimp
(all OPI)

[lightbulbsun]

I actually think forever 21 polish stays on pretty long.

I tried elf, because I like some of their makeup, but it smells really weird.

I also like OPI.

[mrsjuleshs]

I have about 150 nail polishes and DD has at least 50 in her bathroom. I recently bought some Sinful Colors polishes and it lasts a good 2 weeks.

[Deleted]

I love OPI. And any color with sparkles, prefer darker colors, on my toes. I rarely get my fingernails done, if I do, something lighter and less flashy.

[bluetopaz]

Nail polish is a total weakness for me. Over the years I've collected...a lot. But it doesn't go bad (a few drops of thinner and it's good as new) so I don't feel too bad. I've found I can wear any brand, so long as I use a good base coat and topcoat.

[rex]

I have mostly Essie but am starting to switch over to Zoya and other more "organic" brands.

[Deleted]

I also love Essie's colors but am always disappointed with how long it stays on or rather how quickly it chips. It also takes a lot of coats, IMO, to get a good solid color, but maybe I just suck at painting nails.

[Ruby Gloom]

I like Orly and OPI for polish. They seem to last the longest for me w/out chipping.

I have been using CND Shellac lately because I can get 14+ days out of a manicure, plus I can do fun additives and glitter effects that you just can't achieve w/regular polish.

CND is also coming out w/a new 7-10 + day polish line in May that we have ordered. I'm really excited to try those out.
