The Beauty Products You Need, Like, YesterdayThe best beauty product trends and breakthroughs from our fifth annual TotalBeauty.com Awards |
Saved by the Gel Even if you love gel manicures, maintenance can be expensive and time-consuming -- and don't get us started on the finger-foil removal process. Lucky for us (and you), nail product manufacturers are creating polishes that offer gel-like results and don't need to be cured under a lamp. The Breakthrough Product winner in Nails, Butter London Patent Gel Top & Tails Set includes a base coat and top coat that we can combine with any old polish for a rock-solid, gel(ish) manicure. "Breakthrough" is an adjective we could apply to Nail Polish award winner Sephora Formula X, which offers a super-wide range of trendy, highly pigmented colors and gives us days and days of chip-free, shiny nails. Another of our favorites, Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer, goes on thick and dries to a beautiful, durable, glasslike finish.
