Nails are always a good place to start when you want to do something fun to switch up your appearance, or need a quick pick-me-up. A fresh manicure gives you an instant confidence boost because it makes you feel put together, polished and someone who cares about the little details. It's also a great way to express your various moods through the various colours and patterns.  Now while getting them done from a salon is a favoured thought, it doesn't come cheap (both in monetary and duration terms) and thus, going the DIY route at home is the girl hack! And so, here we are, listing the best nail polish brands you can get your hands on from Nykaa for those home manis:

Sally Hansen

Also, the colour range is great, they have metallics, neutrals, pastels and just about everything for your every mood.

On the other hand, the formula gives an intense, rich and glossy colour that doesn't chip for a good four to five days.

Revlon's Nail Polishes are always worth the buy. They come in the chicest colours and the formula glides on like butter, plus a bottle of their nail lacquer lasts you for a very long time. Revlon's reds are super iconic, especially since they were used by Louboutin to paint his shoes' soles because of the alluring colour and shine, which means all the more you need not doubt the finish.

Although on the pricier side, the top-notch formula is a hundred percent worth the buck. Safe to say, their nail polishes make your nails look expensive with minimum effort. Moving to colours, their neutral browns and pinks are every manicure fanatic's go-to for the clean-girl aesthetic.
