The folks who get it, get it: There’s nothing like a fresh set of claws. A sassy, shiny mani screams confidence, adds a feminine touch and is a surefire way to elevate any look! But going to the salon is a pain and a half, not to mention is an expensive venture.
Like most people, I used to drop $80 every month on a dip manicure, only to end up sick of it after week two and ready to peel it off by week three. Needless to say, my nails suffered during this time, as did my credit card bill! I recently decided to give my nails a break and them air out for a few months. As such, my natural nails are finally strong!
Now that my natural nails are in tip-top shape, I’m much less inclined to destroy them with dip powder and tips. (I actually don’t need tips anymore since my natural set is long, strong and healthy!) But I’m ready for some color on my nails, especially with the holiday season around the corner. I found this superfood-infused nail polish that not only looks gorgeous, but strengthens and hardens the nails. It’s the best of all worlds!

Infused with biotin and blueberry, spinach and avocado extracts, this fortifying polish is like a treatment. Every time you paint your nails, you’re blessing them with powerful natural ingredients that make them feel as good as they look! The vegan formula goes on like any regular polish — requiring no LED lights or special curing coats — and lasts for just under a week.
To apply, simply file and shape your nails as usual, apply a base coat, layer the polish and finish with a top coat. I only needed one coat of polish given the rich pigments, but you can do two if you wish! Just sit back and let the compliments roll in.
Another benefit of this polish is the quick-drying aspect. My nails were completely dry after 10 minutes, a major bonus for impatient folks like me! And unlike a pesky dip manicure, this polish comes right off with nail polish remover — no soaking, wrapping or drilling required.
After using this formula, 88% of study participants noted visibly healthier nails with a single use. I concur! My nails will be healthy while looking better than they do after the salon. There are 30 different colors as well as sets to choose from, so grab one for yourself and your bestie!
