Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…
Not only have we discovered more about ourselves during this period of self-isolation, but we’ve also uncovered the best nail polishes for achieving a gel manicure at home. These formulas give nails a shiny finish, and like professional gel-manicures, they last for weeks on end without chipping.
The only difference is they don’t require a LED or UV light to set, which means they’re healthier for your nail beds and way easier to remove. Unlike typical gel polishes, these luxe lacquers come off with a swipe of acetone—drills and foil aren’t required.
So if you’ve been longing for a glossy paint job, try one of the fabulous formulas below to get your fix.
