Holo Taco

Cats' Evasion, $14

Holo Taco was founded by Cristine Rotenberg of the popular Simply Nailogical YouTube channel. The eye-catching line was inspired by Rotenberg's love of all things holographic. The taco reference in the name came from her YouTube tutorials, where it sounded like she was saying "taco" when she was really saying "top coat." Each shade is seriously bold so no matter which one you choose, you won't be able to stop staring at your nails. Our favorite? A multichrome deep magenta that shifts to red and has shades of gold, bronze and rustic green.

J. Hannah

Artichoke, $19

It makes sense that J. Hannah, a timeless, sustainable jewelry brand based in Los Angeles, would venture into nail polish. After all, what better complements a beautiful bracelet or ring than well-manicured nails? The brand's polish line is highly curated with shades inspired by natural elements that are all subtle and beautiful. Try this warm, light green inspired by, yes, artichokes.

Cirque Colors

Rothko Red, $16

From neutral pinks and tans to glitters and holographic options, Cirque Colors meets all your mani needs with its wide range of shades. The polishes are long-lasting and nontoxic. Plus, the company does its best to reduce waste and minimize plastic by shipping all products in brown paper packaging. We really dig this thermal polish that changes color based on the temp. It's oxblood when cold and bright crimson when warm.

KBShimmer

That's Nude to Me, $10

KBShimmer is an Indiana-based nail polish brand that offers a color to suit every mood. Naturally, our faves are the ultra shimmery shades, which glide on smoothly and really last. The line also features a variety of creams, glitters and more. This shimmery pink-toned beige is a major upgrade from the neutrals you're used to.

Côte

No. 118, $18

The founders of Côte wanted to create a clean nail polish brand that still delivered a salon-worthy experience. And they succeeded. Côte's polishes are not only free of major toxins and allergens, they have a silky-smooth formula that doesn't chip easily. The brand's chalky light blue screams spring.
