I love having my nails done, and as a manicure enthusiast, I know by now which polishes work for me and which ones don't. Since I'm not a fan of gel nails [1], getting to five days sans chips is a major milestone, and I know to avoid the brands that chip on day one. For me, hands down, the best polish I've used comes from Olive & June. Its polishes last seven days on me without chipping, which was previously unheard of. The formula is long lasting and doesn't require a base coat, just a topcoat. If you're itching to paint your own nails [2], this polish is the one you should be using.
Not only is the brand affordable and the packageing adorable, but the nail polish colours are also ones I actually want to wear. I found SE [3], the perfect pink that's feminine and pretty without feeling juvenile; CV [4], the prettiest springtime red; and HZ [5], the rosy neutral shade of my dreams. If you've been curious about the Olive & June polish, trust me when I say they're worth the hype, and keep reading to shop some of my favourite springtime shades! [6]
