Nails
The 2011 Nail Polish AwardsWe painted on hundreds of polishes to find the best -- and the worst. See which ones deserve a place on your manicured hands |
Most Likely to Chip on the First Day The "award" goes to: Hard Candy Just Nails Nail Polish, $1
Why we picked it: "This was peeling and flaking less than 12 hours after I applied it," says assistant editor Jane Kim. Adds staffer Mandy Hjellming: "After only a couple of days, it had chipped halfway down my nail. So disappointing."

Should try a new soak off gel polish called NaiLuv, awesome! Long lasting, smudge and chip proof for over 1 month.

You just have to grab a real fantastic top coat and can use cheap colors. It's the top coat that really matters anyways; my favorite is Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat from Sally's

i'm not sure I like essie that much. The color is not as opaque as stated in the article. I ifind that Julep does a good job as well as OPI.
