Nail polishes - choosing the best

It seems that nail polishes have always been with us, but in fact this beauty product is not much more than 80 years old! People loved to decorate nails in ancient times, using henna and other natural dyes, compositions based on resin, wax and vegetable oils. However, the first varnish in its familiar form appeared in 1934 and immediately took its place in the first ranks of beauty. Since then, varnishes have not lost their popularity. Everything you need to know about this tool can be found in this article.

How to choose a varnish

Most gel polishes are produced by well-known brands - you can hardly find “nameless” gel polishes on the shelves. The situation with varnishes is different - dozens of “no names” are presented in stores, among which it is quite difficult to find “the one.”

To ensure that a bottle opened at home does not become a disappointment:

ask the seller for a color scheme . In the cosmetics department at home around the corner, you will most likely be refused - such things are not practiced there. In professional stores, as well as in large cosmetic chains, swatches are made so that the buyer can see the color not only through the glass of the bottle. Be sure to find out how many layers were applied when painting - the more pigment, the fewer layers you will have to apply;
inspect the brush . Again, not everyone allows you to open nail polishes, but try to see what the brush looks like. It should be of medium length - not touching the bottom of the bottle, but also not rubbing against the neck. Also check for any protruding hairs, as they will interfere with application and stain the skin. Brushes that are too thick are bad for picking up product, and brushes that are sparsely filled are also bad;
check the consistency . It should also be medium - not water, but not like gel polish. Liquid ones lie in stripes and leave bald spots, thick ones are difficult to distribute, leaving unevenness and bumps;
look at the composition . Brands that value their reputation have long abandoned the most harmful components and are constantly changing their composition for the better, trying to replace dangerous components with less dangerous ones. Refuse to purchase if you see in the composition toluene - a solvent with a high degree of allergenicity, formaldehyde - a dangerous component that accumulates in the body and causes at least an allergy, and at a maximum - diseases of the internal organs. If possible, buy products in the “free” category - these are products made without the use of dangerous components. Almost all manufacturers indicate their belonging to the “free” category on the label. Also check out the products we've reviewed below - they're all safe.

What types of nail polishes are there?

The choice of varnishes today is limited only by the imagination of manufacturers - modern technologies make it possible to create varnish of almost any color and texture.

The most common types of nail polishes:

Glossy . This is a classic varnish coating that gives an even glossy shine;

Mother of pearl . These are varnishes with a slight shimmer in the light. By the way, an incorrectly selected pearlescent varnish can visually age the skin - this happens with metallic colors. Moreover, mother-of-pearl emphasizes all the imperfections of the nail, so it is recommended to be used by girls who can boast of perfect nails;

Matte . This varnish lacks gloss after drying. A manicure with matte nail polish turns out muted and cozy;

Transparent . Colorless nail polish. Used to give grooming and shine to the nail plate;

With glitter . These are varnishes with large shiny particles;

With shimmer . Shimmer varnishes, unlike glitter varnishes, contain finely ground shiny particles;

Metallic . Creates the effect of metal spraying. Available in both standard metallic shades - gold, silver, and unusual ones - red, green;

Thermolac . This varnish changes color depending on the temperature. For example, in the winter outside, as the toes cool, such a varnish will gradually change color from the tips to a contrasting one, creating a beautiful natural gradient;

@serpentine13

Craquelure . Craquelure is a varnish that cracks as it dries. Typically, nail polish with a craquelure effect is applied to a nail that has already been painted in a contrasting color to make the result more expressive;

Fluorescent . Varnish that glows under ultraviolet rays;

@odiva_ru

Magnetic varnish . Nail polish with metal particles in the composition, which, when exposed to a special magnet, are arranged into a pattern;

@burbalkaa

With additional effects . This is a general group for varnishes with various additives - kamifubuki, inclusions for the quail egg effect, figured fragments. Every year, manufacturers offer more and more design options.

Neon, fluorescent

Neon has bright acidic matte colors and is especially loved by young people.

Fluorescent varnish is a type of neon. In normal light it appears simply bright, but in ultraviolet light it begins to glow. Most often it is applied before a disco and a party in a nightclub.

Tips for use

You can apply nail polish at home - if you follow the tips and take your time, you will get a neat manicure. Most importantly, do not neglect these tips:

Dry all layers well . Even if the label says “dries in 60 seconds,” at least 10 minutes must pass for complete hardening. Try not to touch anything during this time and not to do important things - it will take longer to redo your manicure;
use a varnish base . There are two compelling arguments in favor of the base. The first is that it evens out the nail and allows you to apply a perfectly even layer of coating. The second one protects the plate from the effects of dyes. The pigments are absorbed into the nail and even after removing the polish with the product, a tint remains on the nails. This often happens with highly pigmented colors - rich blue, red, dark green;
Before applying the coating, degrease the plate using a special product . The degreaser will prepare the nails for varnish - it will remove small particles of dust, grease and water;
don't forget about the fixative. The varnish top allows the manicure to remain in its original form longer and also protects the coating from external influences.

Layers of coating in manicure - what are they, how to apply them correctly

Let's start reviewing the best nail polishes. We have selected 7 manufacturers of different price categories, and we will evaluate them according to the following criteria:

safety category – does the manufacturer classify its products as “free”, has it excluded formaldehyde, toluene, parabens;
palette – number of colors;
varnish density and pigment saturation;
brush;
durability - based on customer reviews;
cost for 1 bottle.

At the end, we will conduct a comparative analysis and understand which varnish is better.

Doing a manicure at home

Review of famous brands

Nail polish OPI (Oh Pi Eye)

The decorative cosmetics product is manufactured in the USA. The varnish is made on the basis of nitrocellulose with the addition of TSF, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and other components. The formula contains amino acids and natural silk particles.

Depending on fashionable world trends, the collection of shades is constantly updated. Today there are about 300 flowers on sale. The shape of the bottle is designed so that decorative fillers (glitter and mother-of-pearl) do not settle to the bottom. A brush made of natural material of a special shape is provided, which allows you to apply the varnish evenly and comfortably to the surface of the nails.

Nail polish Golden Rose

This amazing product from Turkish manufacturers is presented in several collections, each of which has a variety of colors and textures.

A distinctive feature is the presence of a wide brush, which allows you to apply the varnish carefully and quickly. The texture of the product is medium, not thick and not runny. The products are presented in the middle price category.

Nail polish Dance Legend

The Russian company offers unique varnishes that combine fashionable, rich shades, safe to apply, created on the basis of innovative technologies that allow you to create various effects. Today, the manufacturer offers more than 1,500 varnishes of various textures, presented in 30 series. Fashionistas will be pleased with the constantly updated collections. You can purchase professional varnishes with various visual effects (color changes depending on the temperature or brightness of the sun's color). Holographic and multichrome varnishes are available to customers.

Nail Look Nail Polish

Decorative coatings of this brand were created in England in 2010. Today the collection consists of a huge number of beautiful shades of different textures. Varnishes do not fade or crack when applied. The coating dries in 8-10 minutes and lasts about a week. The most saturated shades do not stain the nail plate because they contain pigments and other high quality ingredients.

Thanks to the convenient brush of 236 bristles and texture, the polish is easily applied and distributed over the surface of the nail. The volume of the container is 8.5 ml.

Nail polish Orly

Few people know that it was Jeff Pink, the creator of the Orly brand, who at one time first used French manicure, which became one of the most favorite options for applying varnish. The company was founded in 1975.

Varnishes of this brand are considered absolutely safe and are of high quality, and are also presented in a wide palette. In 2002, the company created its own unique cap with a brush, the outer surface of which is made of rubberized material. Thanks to this, you can open the polish with one hand, and the material completely follows the contours of your fingers.

Over many years on the market, Orly has managed to win 12 ABBIES awards, which is one of the most valuable in the world of cosmetology.

Thanks to their dense structure, Orly varnishes look great when applied in 1 layer. The line of cosmetic products includes varnishes produced in jars with a capacity of 5.3 ml and 18 ml. This allows you to purchase small samples, and if you like the color and it suits you, you can buy a larger bottle.

Essence nail polish

Presented in various collections: from neutral to rich and neon tones. The coating is quite dense and looks expensive on the nails, despite the quite budget price. For application, a convenient wide brush has been designed, which picks up a sufficient amount of varnish and distributes it efficiently over the surface of the nail plate.

In the bottle the product does not thicken for a long time and retains a liquid texture. However, when applied, the varnish dries within a few minutes.

Essie nail polish

The collection was created in 1981 by Essie Wijngaarten from New York, who came up with 12 shades of decorative varnish and 3 healing products. A distinctive feature of the collection is considered to be special durability and excellent quality. The secret formula allows the varnish to create a durable coating that lasts for about a week. Moreover, during this time the shade of the varnish will not change and will remain as bright as on the day of application.

Collections are updated once a year. The permanent assortment includes more than 250 shades. I would especially like to note the plastic brush, with which you can apply nail polish in one motion without staining the cuticle. The product dries quickly and acquires a beautiful glossy shine.

To be fair, I would like to note that the product line is quite expensive, although due to its excellent qualities, this type of product has many fans.

Varnish Vinylux

Provides a super durable coating that stays on the nail surface for up to 8 days. Does not require prior application of a base coat. It dries in 10-15 minutes, but unlike gel polish it does not require special conditions for removal - it is washed off with regular nail polish remover without acetone. Does not contain formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl phthalate. One bottle of varnish is enough for 33 coats (if you paint in 2 layers). The product is applied in a thin layer.

Red Carpet Manicure Polish

This series presents gel polishes that are completely suitable for use at home. The coating procedure takes 10-15 minutes; a UV lamp must be used to harden the varnish. First, a base coat from the same series is applied, then the colored varnish is applied directly in 2 layers, each of which is dried under a lamp. Then the top layer is applied. The consistency of the coating is similar to regular varnish, which does not cause difficulties during application.

RGB Nail Color

Products are manufactured in the USA. We have several collections. Characteristic advantages are that it does not contain formaldehyde and formaldehyde-containing resins, and does not contain camphor and toluene.

Varnish Avon Nails Inc

Decorative cosmetics for nail care are presented in several collections. The varnish contains diamond dust, panthenol, acrylic, as well as special polymers that guarantee shine. The coating lasts up to 10 days on the nail plate.

Each bristle of the brush has an angular bevel, which allows for the highest quality, precise and even distribution of the varnish. Rich tones are applied in 2 layers. After applying the first layer, you must wait 1 minute and apply the second layer.

Rimmel varnish

Decorative cosmetics of this brand are manufactured in the UK. The brand traces its history back to 1834, when the famous perfumer, who served Napoleon's wife, Josephine, moved to England and founded his own business. Today the company's products are the best-selling in the UK and rank third in Europe.

The varnish of this brand is of high quality. The coating is easy to apply thanks to the patented brush. The varnish dries in less than 60 seconds.

Revlon varnish

Products are made in Spain. When applied to prepared nails, the polish dries in less than 60 seconds. The decorative product is distributed evenly over the surface, since the individual bristles of the brush are cut in the shape of an angle.

The composition includes ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, nitrocellulose, panthenol, keratin, as well as diamond dust and other components. The manufacturer distinguished itself by introducing fragrant varnishes in one of the collections.

Rescue Beauty Lounge nail polish

The brand was founded in 1998 by Ji Baek and literally translated means “Saving Beauty.” At first, a beauty salon arose, where work was carried out in especially sterile conditions. In parallel with the opening of the salon, the founder of the brand launched a new collection of cosmetics, in particular, varnishes.

The texture of the product is medium and very convenient for application. The brush is triangular in shape, medium thickness. The coating dries quite quickly. For a beautiful nail design, you need to apply the product in 2 layers. The polishes are not cheap and sell for $18 per bottle.

China Glaze Nail Polish

Decorative cosmetics are made in the USA. The main difference is that the composition is free of formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, and therefore deserves the name “environmentally friendly”. To make nails stronger and harder, manufacturers add kaolin (white Chinese clay) to the composition. The assortment includes more than 300 shades. The varnishes are suitable for home and professional use.

Maybelline Colorama nail polish

The American company has been delighting its fans with new ideas and excellent shades for 100 years. The series presents quite bright and rich shades that are suitable for application at different times of the year. The affordable price of the bottle makes decorative coating affordable for many.

The manufacturer himself guarantees that the varnish stays on the nails for up to 7 days, but this property depends not only on the composition of the varnish, but also on the characteristics of the nails themselves. The kit includes a brush that guarantees convenient and accurate application.

The disadvantages of varnishes include the inclusion of toluene, dibutyl phthalate and formaldehyde. To apply a rich shade, two layers are not always enough. In some shades, even 3-4 layers do not provide coverage without gaps.

Dior Vernis nail polish

The decorative cosmetics of this company will certainly appeal to those women who are not attracted to too bright, saturated, poisonous shades. Manufacturers took shades of famous spices as a basis, which means that you will find many natural colors in the collection.

The series includes various varnishes: with metallic or craquelure effects, with glitter and translucent. You need to apply the product using a special brush with beveled corners: thanks to the fairly wide and moderately flat shape of the bristles, they pick up the right amount of product and distribute it evenly over the surface of the nail plate.

Varnishes of this brand do not thicken or separate during storage. The natural composition has a beneficial effect on the condition of the nail plate, strengthens it and makes it healthier. The varnish does not stain the surface of the nail and can be applied even without a base coat.

Givenchy nail polish

This product provides reliable coverage that lasts up to 7 days. Thanks to the special formula, the nail plate is nourished. The texture of the varnish is quite dense, which allows it to be applied even in 1 layer. When applied, the varnishes dry quickly and create a special shimmer and shine.

According to some customer reviews, the varnish thickens quite quickly, which makes it much more difficult to apply.

Nail polish CND Shellac

The products of this brand are natural, and therefore can be used by allergy sufferers and even pregnant women. A special advantage is that the product stays on the nails for about 2 weeks - during this time the natural nail plate can grow significantly, since it has reliable protection against breakage.

The assortment includes many shades, from which it will not be difficult to choose the one you like.

Zoya

The Zoya brand is the creator of long-lasting and at the same time safe nail products. segment.

Lucky. This means that the composition does not contain components of natural origin, they are not tested on animals, and also do not include: toluode, camphor, formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate - a plasticizer, formaldehyde resins.

The palette is huge and constantly updated. At the time of writing, more than 700 shades were presented on the official website of Zoya in Russia. There are classic plain coatings, as well as with the addition of glitter, mother-of-pearl, and matte. In accordance with fashion trends, limited collections are produced.

The varnishes are well pigmented - an even color is obtained when applied in one layer. Light shades, especially those with mother-of-pearl, will need to be applied twice - streaks will remain here and there. A medium-thick brush with even, non-stray hairs. It opens up well like a fan.

But the durability, judging by customer reviews, leaves much to be desired - the ends rub off within 3-5 days, and the coating has to be renewed.

The price of 1 bottle is from 660 rubles, depending on the popularity of the shade and the collection. There are often promotions and discounts on the brand’s official website, and your favorite options can be purchased for 500-530 rubles.

ZOYA - Unique varnishes and an amazing story

Sophin

Safe nail polishes are offered by the Sophin brand, whose production is located in France and Germany. In its work, the company is guided by international safety standards and does not contain dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde, toluene, camphor, or parabens. Products are not tested on animals and do not contain animal ingredients.

The palette is less extensive than Zoya's, but trendy shades are always presented. The manufacturer's official website offers about 150 different colors and textures - matte, glitter, classic glossy. The “gellak” series is presented separately – these are nail polishes with a gel effect.

The varnish applies perfectly in two layers, leaving no streaks or streaks. The brush is comfortable, without stray hairs and has an even cut. Initially it seems too thin, but no problems arise during application.

Durability based on reviews - from 3 to 6 days depending on lifestyle. Sophin customers advise using a fixative when coating - this extends the wear period.

Cost - from 280 to 400 rubles per bottle.

Pros and cons of gel polish coating

Now, as for the gel polish coating... It lasts much longer than varnish, if the work is done well, it does not flake and chips appear on it for a long time. The downside is that such a manicure takes much longer. Also, learning how to apply such a gel manicure coating is much more difficult than using regular varnish. Lots of expensive consumables. Each application requires a lot of attention. It is much more difficult to remove such a coating from a nail without damaging the plate... You need special solutions or an electric machine that will cut off the gel from your nail in a thin layer. Over time, as the nail grows, a gap of “Bare” nail is visible at the cuticle between its base and the gel coating. It doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing.

Below is a photo of the manicure coating after a few days of wear.

O.P.I.

A well-known foreign company that specializes in nail products also produces varnishes. The composition is safe - no formaldehyde, no toluene.

The palette includes more than 300 shades. It is regularly updated with new collections, in accordance with the latest fashion trends. There are semi-matte varnishes, with sparkles, mother-of-pearl and plain glossy ones.

The brush is moderately long, but not very thick. At the same time, the girls note that it is convenient to apply the product to the nails with a brush. The cut is even - if you suddenly come across a strange brush, make sure that it is the original OPI, because this is one of the most frequently counterfeited brands.

For an even color, you will need to apply the dye in 2 layers - then the layer will be uniform, without streaks. The durability, according to customers, does not correspond to the price - only 2-3 days. However, in all the reviews, the girls did not use the base and fixer, which increase the durability and wear life of the coating.

The cost of a bottle varies from 400 to 1000 rubles. The final price is affected by the popularity of the shade and the place of purchase.

Making a bright manicure with OPI polishes

ORLY

Orly varnishes are allowed to be used by allergy sufferers, pregnant and lactating women. The composition is natural, without dangerous ingredients. In fact, the products of foreign companies - American or German - rarely contain formaldehyde, since it is prohibited there. ORLY varnishes also contain no toluene, camphor, xylene or animal products.

The palette is impressive - more than 200 shades. The range is regularly replenished with trendy tones. The brush is comfortable, although quite long. The manufacturer claims that each brush has 600 hairs.

For an even color, apply varnish in 2 layers - then there will be no streaks or streaks. Longevity is not the most outstanding - 3-4 days.

Cost – from 700 to 1000 rubles.

Logona

Logona is a manufacturer of organic cosmetics. The brand's assortment includes, among other things, a collection of safe nail polishes.

Logona were the first in the world to receive a certificate confirming the natural origin of varnish products. The composition is impressive - bio alcohol, resin, water, ethyl lactate, talc, silicon dioxide, vegetable glycerin, mica, tin oxide, natural dyes.

But the palette is modest - only 5 shades. This is the price to pay for a completely safe, organic composition. Another drawback is that the brand is not represented in Russia, and it is almost impossible to find varnishes. An option is to order from Germany through the official website of the manufacturer.

You need to apply 2 layers, only then the color will be uniform. Durability – 2-3 days.

The cost of a bottle is about 15 euros or 1200 rubles.

Health hazards of gel polish and its components

Maybelline New York

All the brands presented above are professional, which affects the final price of the product. To balance the chances of the “mass market” and “premium” segments, let’s consider the Maybelline New York “Colorama” polish collection.

There is a lot of controversy around the brand, since the manufacturer has been using formaldehyde in production for a long time. Recently, the composition has undergone changes - the three most dangerous components have been excluded - formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl phthalate. The manufacturer does not classify itself as free, since the composition still includes even the least harmful components.

Of course, it’s impossible to compare the safety of Maybelline with, say, OPI or Zoya, but the Colorama collection has other advantages, for example, durability. The varnish stays on the nails for 5 days if you follow all the rules - apply the base and fixer, use gloves when in contact with water, try to protect your nails from mechanical impact.

I’m pleased with the density of the colors – even “problem” colors – red, black, white – are evenly applied in just one layer. The palette includes about 100 popular shades and is constantly updated, as fashion dictates.

Maybelline's main advantage is the price. The cost of one bottle is from 150 to 250 rubles.

Detailed varnish composition

The main components of modern varnish are polymers, solvents, plasticizers and pigments. Let's look at each component separately.

Polymers

This component is the basis of any varnish. Presented in the form of nitrocellulose and tosylamide-formaldehyde resin (TSF).

• Nitrocellulose forms a beautiful, bright and shiny coating on the surface. Its formula is not dense enough to create a reliable bond to the surface of the nail plate.

• TSF is a polymer of synthetic origin that does not harm living tissues of the body. Thanks to the inclusion of this component, the varnish coating is durable and adheres well to the nail plate.

Solvents

This component is essential for the varnish to dry on the surface. Once the solvent evaporates upon contact with air, the varnish base becomes solid. The optimal solution is to combine several types of high-quality solvents, which allows the varnish to dry faster and form a reliable coating.

• Ethyl acetate promotes drying speed and guarantees high-quality film formation.

• Butyl acetate affects the uniform distribution of varnish over the surface of the nail plate.

• Hectorite allows pigments to be suspended and guarantees uniform coloring.

• Dimethicone is a silicone-containing component that allows varnishes to dry faster. This substance is often included in varnish dryer.

• Isopropyl alcohol is added to neutralize nitrocellulose, which is explosive.

Plasticizers

Substances due to which the varnish formula acquires the necessary elasticity and strength. The main ones are camphor and dibutyl phthalate.

• Dibutyl phthalate is a substance that is prohibited for use in the European Union due to suspected but unproven harmful effects on the human body. In America it is successfully replaced by pentanyl diisobutyrate.

• Camphor is a naturally occurring substance produced from various plants. Some manufacturers also refuse this component, since ambiguous reactions of the body are observed.

Pigments

Used to give a certain shade to the varnish.

• D&C Red, D&C Yellow, D&C Blue are the main pigments, when mixed, different shades are obtained.

• Mica – provides a shimmering effect.

• Titanium dioxide – gives white color and regulates other shades.

• Bismuth oxychloride – provides a shimmering effect.

• Citric acid – stabilizes the intensity of the shade.

• Silicates – provide excellent consistency of the coloring composition.

Dance Legend

Another budget product that is known for its stamping paints. There is also a selection of nail polishes. The manufacturer does not classify its varnishes as free, but there are no harmful components in the composition; formaldehyde and its resins, toluene, and camphor are excluded.

The palette is huge - more than 1000 options; special collections are also released in different seasons. “Binary Spring 2020” series with light, delicate shades of blue and pink with the addition of the smallest shimmer.

There are varnishes with a craquelure effect, matte, cat's eye, classic, and translucent. They apply exactly in 2 layers, you usually don’t have to apply more. There are no complaints about the brush - the cut is smooth, without protruding hairs, it is convenient to paint with a brush.

Durability depends on the type of varnish. Regular, without glitter - 4-7 days, with glitter - up to 10.

Cost from 150 to 250 rubles.

Let's summarize : for varnishes with a safe composition you have to “pay” with low durability. The more harmless the components, the more susceptible they are to external influences - this is demonstrated by reviews of Zoya, OPI, ORLY. If you like to choose from a large catalog, take a closer look at Zoya, as well as the budget brand Dance Legend. For girls who want to get a relatively safe product with maximum durability for a reasonable price, albeit with some flaws in the composition, Maybelline New York is suitable.

In general, we recommend trying several of the brands described in order to form your own opinion and choose a favorite, because no one has yet canceled the individual characteristics of the body and nail plates.

Safe components

Sometimes they are labeled “big three free,” which means “free from the big three” (formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate). Choosing a safe, high-quality varnish is not difficult. To do this, you need to pay attention to its composition.

A quality product for covering nail plates should contain the following components:

Nitrocellulose. A film former that imparts stability, elasticity, and shine . He should be designated as one of the first in the lineup.
Castor oil. A care component that helps improve the quality of the nail.
Oil nourishes, strengthens them, increases elasticity.
Ceramides. Improves the rate of nail growth.
Proteins. Makes them smooth and shiny. Protects nails from delamination and brittleness.
Ethyl acetate and butyl acetate. Components responsible for viscosity. Volatile substances that evaporate safely do not have as strong an odor as those containing formaldehyde and toluene. Do not accumulate in the body.

The presence of additional components of oils and vitamins has a beneficial effect on the quality of the nail.

The faster the product dries, the more likely it is to contain formaldehyde. Normally, drying takes about 10 minutes. Quick-drying products contain very harmful components.
