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:
10 Best Nail Polish Brands For The Perfect DIY Manicure At Home
Sally Hansen

Sally Hensen is the one brand you can blindly trust for anything nail care. From nail strengtheners to nail polishes in every possible hue, the brand has you covered. Their 'Insta Dri' range is a hit among DIY mani lovers because of its long-lasting 3-in-1 formula that has a base and top coat for extended wear that gives full coverage in one swipe. Also, the colour range is great, they have metallics, neutrals, pastels and just about everything for your every mood.
Chambor

Chambor's nail paints are suitable for daily wear. The application is easy because of the sturdy and precise brush. On the other hand, the formula gives an intense, rich and glossy colour that doesn't chip for a good four to five days. What's more to love is that Chambor is a cruelty-free brand which immediately gets brownie points from us.
Revlon

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.
O.P.I.

The list would be incomplete without the OG. You know a nail salon's posh if they use O.P.I.'s products because the quality is that good! 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.
