20 Best Nail Polish For French Manicure (2024 Update)

If I could give this nail polish zero stars I would. I had it on for less than a day and almost all of my nails had started chipping off in big noticeable chunks. Very disappointed because I loved the color but the longevity was nonexistent. Don’t waste your moneyAng

I was looking for a black nail polish and came across this brand online. I had never heard of the brand before, but I liked the colors, so I decided to order one on a whim. I ordered the color, Black Knight. It's black with a tiny bit of iridescent shimmer. I applied the nail polish as soon as I got it and I must say I am very pleased with the results. The polish goes on so evenly in just 3 or 4 strokes. It stays in place, it doesn't drip off the side of my nails. There is absolutely no odor, which is amazing! It dries quickly and looks great. I also love that it's cruelty free and doesn't contain any phthalates or parabens. I'm very pleased with this nail polish and I will definitely be ordering some of the other colors. I really love this polish!HuntingtonDrive

I found this when looking for pregnancy friendly polish. Pleasantly surprised by how long this polish lasted. I used it together with the primer and top coat system. Put it to the test of household cleaning, gardening and lots of handy work for a week. It lasted a full week. Highly recommend it! Well worth the price if compared to my usual gel polish popular brand.Sandra

2 coats on clean dry nails lasted nearly 2 weeks! (and i wash my hands a lot!). ..and better still, the non toxic remover i have took it off way easier than any other polish ive ever tried (furiously) to remove- which says a lot and even more considering the color was a dark purple! not often- if ever- i write reviews, but this polish deserves 12 stars! thank you to karma for your dedication in creating such an amazing line of polish! i will never risk trying any other brand! ps- i have acute chemical (hyper) sensitivity and experienced no adverse reaction and my nails appear healthier than before i applied the polish nearly 2 wks ago! no lie!! PEACE!alle_trist

I bought this for my daughter Jessica, she absolutely loves it! It is (for some uncertain reason) very difficult to find vegan and cruelty free white nail polish out of all of the colors offered, (even harder to find the most non-toxic version), so I was pleased to buy this knowing it is the safest out there and is also from a small, local business. The consistency of this is nicely done, not too thin while not too thick, very unlike some of the other nail polish we’ve owned. I also like that it was fast drying, perfect for when you’re needing to get ready within the last minute.sarah

I am always thrilled to find a new, ecologically conscientious and vegan product and this is one is new to me because I only found it recently after trying several other vegan and hypoallergenic nail polishes. As ecologically conscientious is quite often synonymous with hypoallergenic because the basis of both philosophies is to exclude agitating toxic chemicals I am assured the Karma nail polish will not cause my highly sensitive skin any unnecessary agitation while providing me with a mind soothing manicure to realign my mood and psyche without any ill effects on the environment. As hypoallergenic nail treatment goes Karma is putting out pretty colors which did live up to my expectations, causing no allergic reaction whatsoever which assures me that they are high quality and earth friendly because I have had many serious and minor allergic reactions to the overwhelming majority of beauty products but Karma caused no allergic reaction whatsoever to date. I hope Karma will continue to put out additional varieties of hypoallergenic, non-agitating vegan nail polish and although I do not like any face make up more of these hypoallergenic products for the face such as foundation, blush, eyeliner and mascara would allow my neighbor's child, who likes to do other peoples faces, the opportunity to experiment on me for as long as I have the patience to sit through her detailed attention. The other vegan nail polish I have tried is equal in value to this and I would recommend all the vegan nail polish brands with equal confidence, including Karma, Pacifica and Mineral Fusion. They all last just as long as regular nail polish, have higher quality top coats because they are nonirritating, and a beautiful array of both playful and traditional colors. If I was truly fun filled and free spirited I'd paint every nail with a different color or design; maybe for the next holiday.Jordanna

I love this color! I always love a nice deep red nail color and Elderberry was exactly what I was looking for. Ever since I tried this brand about a year ago I have thrown out my cheaper, short lasting drugstore nail polish and replaced them with different colors of Londontown. I can typically get my nail color to last a week on my fingernails whereas my old polishes would usually last 2-3 days before they started chipping badly. I am hard on my nails doing a lot of housework, dishes, washing cars, etc. but this nail polish lasts through it. It also seems to strengthen my nails when I wear it regularly. The picture I attached is of my toes today, I painted them about 2 weeks ago and the color hasn't chipped a bit.Leslie

I received Invisible Crown as a gift along with Cheerio. I'm generally not a sheer polish lover. I also don't usually gravitate towards pale pink tones. I am honestly shocked at how much I love both these colors. Invisible Crown looks especially gorgeous on my nails. It drys like a high gloss gel manicure. It is so elegant and attractive and clean and fresh … I can't stop wearing it. I just keep going back for more! I also did one manicure with a layer of Cheerio and a layer of Invisible Crown just for fun. Love it!!! Invisible Crown makes a great background polish for holiday nails. 😍 just sayin! I used two coats of polish with base and top coat and accelerating drying oil. Spectacular!RoseAnn G.

This company excels at sheers. Creams are a little less reliable. I'm buying the rest of the sheers so I have them all. They're THAT good. This one has more color than teatime. It's a bit more mauve/brown than pink. Same flawless coverage. 100 percent streak free with one coat. Goes on like no other polish I've used. Creamy in application, and color. Don't know how long it lasts, because I so enjoy doing it every other day 😀 Poor lighting but teatime on my middle finger, crowning crumpet on my ring finger. Clear on rest. One coat. Streaks are actually in my nail. I guess I need to heal and buff a bit longer. 🙃 Highly recommend!TigerLily

I used good nail prep, a base coat, two coats of pure, and a top coat. I have been adding a top coat daily to try to get longer wear. I am on day 5 without any chips. My tips on my dominant hand are worn off but otherwise it is in great shape. It barely shows. It makes my nails look clean versus having a noticeable color. When I compared my painted and unpainted hand it was definitely noticeable.Me42

This nail polish is good when it's brand new but after having it even for a month or two, the quality is horrible. It's clumpy and impossible to apply smoothly. I don't think it's worth the money if you have to use it all right away. I don't have this same issue with other "17 free" polishes so I don't think it has anything to do with how it's stored. Certain colors in this brand are hard to get off as well, they stain and make a mess. I wouldn't buy this brand again.Yellowbirdmom

I bought this because I’m pregnant and trying to avoid all of the harmful chemicals I can. This polish is free from the 17 harmful chemicals found in all other types of polish, so I wasn’t expecting it to work very well. However, this might be the best nail polish I’ve ever used! It glides on perfectly, I only needed one coat, it dries fairly quickly and I didn’t notice a single chip until about a week later. This is my new favorite and even when no longer pregnant, I will continue to only buy this polish.Libby

The nail polish is nice. applies easily and dries a bit faster than other brands. during the first few hours it'll get scratches or texture until it's 100% set. (it was completely dry when I went to sleep, passed the fingerprint test, but had random scratches the next morning). after it dried it became seemingly indestructible. I work in a warehouse, I use tools and have my hands in machines all day and it didn't chip at all. (I used 3 coats) however i had another shade that chipped and budged just from washing dishes and playing with a one year old. in any other case I'd say its way too expensive to risk getting a shade that has a 50/50 chance of chipping easily, but target has a good return policyM

I used this nail polish for the first time three days ago and I couldn't be happier with the result! For years I have had acrylic nails and have recently stopped because I don't have time to go and get them done with my new baby, so I decided to invest in some new nail polish and boy am I glad I did! I used the JINsoon Power Coat Strengthening Base Coat, followed by 2 coats of the Essie Light Lilac, then the JINsoon Top Gloss Quick Dry Top Coat, and finished off with the Essie Quick-e Drying Drops Nail Polish Treatment and my nail look AMAZING! They actually look like I've got shellac on. And what's even more amazing, they dried SUPER fast! It took me maybe 10-15 minutes to do the application, and then I let dry for maybe 20-30 minutes and they were completely set. I was able to get dinner ready and do the dishes straight away with no denting or smudging! This is a game changer! I'm now on day three and they still look as good as day 1! Couldn't recommend this more!Heiny

Essie has great new limited edition fall colors just in time for "swetta weatha" and I'm really feeling them. I have Feelin' Amped, High Voltage Vinyl and Off the Record. My two favorites are Feelin' Amped and High Voltage Vinyl. Feelin' Amped is an intense but unique blue that reminds of a mix between cobalt blue and peacock blue. You only need one coat of polish since the polish covers very well and has a really smooth, shiny finish. This color would also look amazing if you added a mattifying powder to it as well. High Voltage Vinyl is a gorgeous onyx base with gold. I didn't like it very much at first because I was probably still in summer mode, but now that it's fall, this color would go perfectly with a pair of black jeans and a black leather jacket. It's an interesting color since it takes on olive green tint in some lights, but in the sun, you can definitely see the beautiful gold tones. Off the Record is your classic, elegant wine color. It goes well with any outfit and any skin tone…You can't go wrong with a nice merlot color…it's perfect for this season and the next!Lovely1

I purchased the SENSATIONAIL kit a few months ago. I got so sick and tired of spending so much time painting my nails just to have them start to peel and chip a few days later. I manicures never lasted a week. So a girl I know at work used this and her nails looked sooo good, I went out after work and found the kit and purchased a couple of different colors. You must follow the directions carefully to have this work correctly, but the results are fabulous. My nail color lasted so long and my nails were strong. The only downside is attempting to remove the gel color. It is extremely difficult and you must take your time doing it otherwise you risk harming your nails. This is why I took off a star. Otherwise this is the perfect at home gel manicure for a reasonable price.roben.c

I ordered "Pacific World Sensationail Gel Polish". The color indicated online and on the box was a definate red color. I received a color called "Barefoot Berry". The color is a red orange. Certainly not to my taste and certainly not what I thought I ordered. I was very disappointed.Vata

I found this at home gel kit on super sale at a department store! I thought I’d try it out after reviewing it on line, it is simple, straight forward! I have used the rose gold, (it’s amazing so sparkly) fuchsia is cute, and I have the pale pink gel polish. It lasts always at least 10 days for me and I put a lot of color on my nails I like bold creamy colors on my nails. I was paying 37 bucks for a gel manicure at salons after the 4th visit to another salon I called it quiets. My polish was chipping after 3 days. I paid 37 bucks and tipped for a crappy nail job the tech rushed the whole process and kept making comments that she thought I was 18 and couldn’t believe how old I was because I looked so young it was not a relaxing experience or even ok service I left feeling awkward. Best believe I went back and got a full refund and used the money to purchase this kit. Do yourself a favor and get this if you are wasting your money at terrible nail salons! Its cheaper than the brand names like OPI and it’s just as nice trust me I was an OPI nail snob before I found this brand. It’s really easy to do yourself and make it look great!lydia.m

Metallic polishes have always been my go to colour since aged 12 when my older sister told me these were easier to apply without looking blotchy. Whether or not this is true I still do not know 15 odd years later, but my habit has been set! Game of Chromes is a beautiful colour. Normally I avoid a polish this gold out of fear of it looking tacky, but there are a number of subtones to the colour that tone it down and cause it to look a mixture of silver, bronze and gold depending on how the light shines. Very much a statement polish still, but one that looks like it has been chosen by an adult! The polish is opaque enough that one coat will give you sufficient coverage, but I opted for two to get that added sparkle. Note you need quite a long drying time in this case. I tend to only use polish on my toes, and therefore I can't provide helpful comments on how resistant the polish is to daily chores such as washing up and typing. However it has lasted amazingly well on my toes compared to previous polishes I have used. Two weeks later and, except for my nails having grown a little, looks like I applied it yesterday. To be picky, the brush was slightly too large for my nails. My little toe nails needed more of a dot than a stroke! Certainly I would have struggled to do an accurate job on my fingers. However, this is common for me and I would rather the brush spread too far than did not cover my whole nail as it's not that hard to pick off the bits that get on the skin if needed. The polish did go on smoothly and very streak free. As mentioned before, I did two layers and it took a while for the first one to dry enough to attempt the second coat so had to flap round the house wiggling my feet like a mad lady for a while. The top coat was very good and seemed to really meld with the colour polish. Note that you get best results using this in sunlight as that sets the polish in the same way a UV lamp does for normal gel nails. Not the easiest when you're doing this on your toenails and don't have a garden, but I managed! Overall I'm very happy with this polish and think it's great to not need to go to the salon for a long lasting finish.yelitza.s

If you enjoy using any of the beautiful gel polish from Sally Hansen then you will definitely love using their gel polish base coat. As this base coat help bind or adhere the color better to our nails. For me I think it helps not protect our nails but also help the nail color last longer as well. I also think it is a must when I am doing my manicure with my Sally Hansen Gel Colors to start with their Gel Polish Base Coat Nail Polish for a great and lasting overall manicure 💅.ingrid.c

i thought it would be thin glitter that would go on smooth but it’s literal chunks of glitter and dries with a very rough finish. it’s definitely glittery so it does what it’s supposed to but wow is it difficult to remove! I don’t wear it because of that it is so so hard to take off because of the chunkiness. i definitely prefer smoother glitter polishes.laura.c

Essie nail polish is a great brand. This shade is a silvery metallic w/ light purple. I use two coats with this shade and it comes out just perfect on my nails and toes. When I use a base coat and a top coat this brand lasts around 1- 1 1/2 weeks without chipping or peeling. I would recommend the Essie Fall Nail Lacquer Collection.anna.a

Absolutely love this polish! When I run out of what I have, I will definitely buy some more. Starting off with the polish itself, it is very pretty and lasts for a good amount of time even without a top coat or bottom coat. I love the brush on essie polish because it works well for my narrow nail beds, and it’s easy to have a nice and even application. I use this polish whenever I want to paint my nails, but I don’t want to go through the hassle of cleaning up the mistakes I make with regular color nail polish. I can paint both of my hands in about 10 minutes and it dries pretty quickly. I don’t use a base coat or a top coat and it still stays on very well and very shiny. It does take some more effort to actually get the polish off (would most likely come off easier if I used a base and top coat) but it is totally worth it. Buying in the gold color too!Anonymous

I am obsessed with this color. a little bit will chip and I take it all off and redid the whole nail. It lasted a good while before it chipped but it does seem a little prone to easily chip. Who cares with this color! It really pops and is great for summer. My picture does not do it justice. 2nd pic truer to color.Susan Y. G.

I fell in love with this color and absolutely had to have it – I love all of the colors in this collection but only bought 4, Synthetic Symphony, Kaleidoscope Eyes, Artificial Orange, and Neon Paradise, and now I'm thinking I need the other colors I didn't originally buy! The formula on these polishes is incredible, they all go on beautifully smooth and shiny. I found Neon Paradise slightly less opaque than the other 3 shades, but not enough to matter or be noticeable to anyone else looking at my nails. All of the shades really are as rich and beautiful as they look in photos. I would say Artificial Orange is even brighter and more neon in real life than in the marketing photos! I also found these wear longer and better than other cremes I own. (I did apply the Quixotic sticky base coat and OPI topcoat with all the shades.) Very little chipping or peeling, I love the quality!Kat

It's a super pretty shade; it's a bit like a BB cream for your nails. A sheer wash that hides the texture and imperfections. I really want to love it, since I'm not particularly good at painting my nails, and this is such a forgiving shade. Unfortunately, you really can't wear this on its own. This turns the tips of my nails clear in splotches– it looks like I just got out of the shower all day. This is especially strange as the effect lasts for a few days after taking it off, and I've never seen a polish do that before. I expect it would be fine on quite short nails, or if you used a white shade for the tips, and didn't mind what they look like for the first day or so after removing the polish.Lily

Luckily I am a nerd and do thorough research on everything I'm about to buy.. so I anticipated needed a few other supplies *SUCH AS A CLEAR DIP POWDER* because this set only comes with Natural. Which is fine, I added a pot of Clear to my basket as well. After that I had all the tools and tutorials I needed to finish a natural looking set (with tips and rhinestone nail art) in under an HOUR my first try! Listen, I used to spend my ENTIRE Sunday doing a set of gels for myself, now that I'm in school I literally do not have the time.. and press ons kept popping off no matter how I applied. This set gives you all the instructions, is super comprehensive, and produces beautiful, strong nails in the simpliest, most user friendly way to get beautiful nails. I don't think I need to revisit gel. It's so messy and detail oriented. Low chemical, but I still had moments where I slipped a mask on to manage fumes.Chaya A.

I absolutely adore Kiara Sky Dip products! I’ve been using them for about three years total now, and I love the quality, the results, and all of the different colors available. It’s by far my favorite dip powder out of any other powders out there. I’ve tried quite a few on the market and this one is always my go to. The colors are vibrant and very pigmented, and the quality is outstanding. My nails tend to last about three weeks before I have to have them done again which is longer than any other product I’ve tried. These are definitely worth trying!ashley.h

I bought this kit to teach myself how to do my own nails at home. I thoroughly love anything I can do myself at home. My nails tend to crack easily, gel doesn't always keep them sturdy and going to the salon every 2 weeks to get them done (gel or dip) is not in my budget. So I bought this kit to give my nails some strength while also looking great. Plus I suck at polish. I always get it everywhere when using my non-dominant hand to paint. The included instructions are pretty basic and give you a step by step guide that you need to be successful. It also helps that Kiara Sky has a YouTube channel to show you exactly how to do the dip manicure with the starter kit so with the included instructions and YT video, it's pretty fool proof. My first manicure was good, not great but for my very first attempt, I'd say it went pretty well! There are a few tools you will need that are not included in the kit and that includes a buffer block, nail file, manicure sticks and a fluffy brush to brush off excess powder left on your fingers (I used a clean makeup brush that I no longer use and it worked fine). I also like that the kit includes a brush saver to clean the polishes included and extra brush heads incase you need to replace them (This was nice as I pulled the bristles out of the topcoat head by mistake when wiping it off after using the brush saver). Overall, this kit is awesome. It takes a few tries to get used to but once you get the hang of it, you fly through it!Talia D.

Ok ok ok so to cut a long story short I struggled with nail biting until I decided to try this product along with Orly’s Nail Defence Strengthening Protein Treatment. Together they have helped me overcome this bad habit. Instead of biting my nails I began picking this polish off my nails but since it’s part treatment my nails didn’t suffer. You’ll be glad to hear that I have since overcome this and now actually don’t touch my nails and we’ll the polish sits prettily. I would say it lasts 2-4 days without chipping depending on how much I get done during that time. I am eager to try more colours in the collection as my nails get a little longer though I probably would have tried more colours within the breathable range if they were a bit cheaper. Sheer Luck was the perfect colour for growing nails out as it didn’t accentuate their imperfections (it was flattering) which previously put me off polish.shannon.m

After a couple months of going from manicure to manicure with no break in between my nails tend to get really dry and brittle. They start peeling and breaking and then I have to quit wearing polish for awhile. Unfortunately without the reinforcement of polish my healing nails often get snagged and broken anyway, so there's no winning (case in point, the little nubbins in the attached picture)! When I heard about Orly Breathable I was hoping it would be my miracle cure. Well, yes and no… The good: This does seem to live up to its claims of being permeable. I put nail oil on and it does seem to be getting down to the nail, keeping my nails supple and healthy. It also has reasonably high shine on its own (which is good, since using a top coat would defeat the purpose). Though the colors I tried (the light purple, light green, and gray) were all pretty sheer with one coat, after two I was pretty good most of the time. Unfortunately all is not well… The bad: This stuff chips like nothing else. You can't use a base or top coat since that would take away the benefits of the formula, so there's no good way to diminish the chipping issue. On day two and even day one I have chips that annoy me enough to repaint. Some of my nails hold up fine (though it's inconsistent which one), but the issue is bad enough that when I tried repainting with a different color each day I had to repaint, by day four I had tri-colored hands! This stuff needs a lot of babying. I now keep a bottle in my purse to redo at work. To its credit the chipping issue doesn't seem to be made worse by oil or water, and it doesn't peel off in big sheets. More minor issues, it does bubble some, though not as bad as other lines. The color selection at this point is also an issue; it's pretty slim and mostly pastels, so hard to transition into fall. Parting thoughts: While writing this review I wavered between three and four stars a lot. The chipping issues are pretty major, but it DOES do what it claims it will do. Ultimately since there's not a lot of competition in the field of breathable nail polishes I give it a 4/5. Having to repaint all the time is annoying, but the formula is thin enough that I've hardly made a dent in the bottle I've been using daily for several weeks. My nail health is improving while covered, which is what I was looking for and having trouble finding. I'll stick with this and even buy more colors (hopefully ORLY will come out with more!), but I would never switch to it entirely. When my nails need a rest there's this, but for fancy manicures I'll look elsewhere.squeaky.f

I wanted a neutral pink tone nail polish & Chanel delivers with the color Daydream! It’s perfect for my fingernails & toenails! Two coats, followed up w/Chanel Le Gel Top Coat & it stays on strong & long! I love that it’s neutral but is a classy pink color which covers both fingers & toes—So, no having to use two different colors! Strongly recommend & would repurchase!psbpprkr

The color ballerina is absolutely stunning. It gives the nails a beautiful natural pink wash. You can apply it with one coat for a very subtle natural wash of color, or you can apply a second or even third coat for a more opaque result. Regardless of your preference- it will give a youthful, feminine fresh look- that’s perfect for all occasions! The bottle is luxurious, the bristles are easy and precise for perfect application, the formula dries down even and it dries fast. I also used as a base before I applied the color polish. The base is incredible for smoothing and priming the nails for a salon quality finish! #chanel #chanellevernis #chanelpolish #polish #naturalnailpolish #lightpinknailpolish #chanel167 #chanelballerina Nail Color Ballerina 167kayla.c

The bottle is tiny with less polish than standard sizes. The applicator brush is one of the most important features and the Chanel brush is ludicrously inferior. The polish is thin and chips easily. It also becomes tacky in seconds making application impossible, yet simultaneously taking hours to cure. I would not recommend this to anyone.PPeterdd
