Having your nails freshly painted can make a bold statement yourself and give insight to your personality, but aside from that, it's also a great mood booster that just makes you feel better. So, it's no surprise that this beauty ritual dates back thousands of years. Originating in China in 3000 BC, early nail polish was formulated using a mixture of beeswax, egg whites and vegetable dyes.

In Ancient Egypt nail polish denoted your ranking in society with bold colors like red signifying royalty. Today, nail polish is used both as decoration and as protection with emerging technologies that both decorate and nourish your nails to promote healthy growth. Despite what you may have heard, top coats and base coats are an absolute necessity. They not only protect your nails from pigment but they prolong the wear-time of your polish. So start every application with clean nails and a smooth layer of base coat. Once you're prepped and ready, all you need is 3 smooth strokes of polish for a perfectly painted nail. Start with a good amount of lacquer on the brush, then apply one stroke to each side of your nail and finish with a stroke down the middle.

You'll have even, flawless coverage in as little as 1, 2, 3. Top it all off with a top coat and voila! You have the perfect at-home mani. Remember to apply thin coats, not thick, and never shake your bottle of polish, this creates air bubbles in the formula. Instead, roll the polish back and forth in the palm of your hands, this will mix the polish without creating any air bubbles. All you have to do now is find your perfect shade from our curated selection of salon-worthy brands below.
