Poll Results: What's the Most You'd Spend on a Single Bottle of Nail Polish

In this week's poll I asked you what's the most you'd spend on a single bottle of nail polish. The results are in and the majority of you said $6-10 which I would consider the average price of nail polish these days.

Me, I tend to fall into the $16-20 range, but that's only for EXTRA special polishes that are both high quality and unique, otherwise I am with the majority and like to see $6-10 when possible.

Is high end worth it? Sure, sometimes it's nice to splurge but it's not necessary to get a high quality product all the time, there are many affordable brands out there that offer polishes for under $5. So be a responsible shopper but don't feel guilty treating yourself every once in a while, you're worth it!

P.S. sorry the percentages aren't really visible, IDK what happened there.

Poll Results: What's your favorite polish formula?

This week's poll asked you what your favorite nail polish formula was and the results are in. I allowed you guys to pick multiple answers because sometimes we like more than one the most!


Looks like the cremes reign supreme with 6 out of 9 favoring them. I too voted creme and I also voted jelly.

I love cremes because they're smooth, highly pigmented and classic. I love jellies because of their novelty and wet look. I also like some glitters but did not call them a favorite. I hate shimmery/frost shades. They show all imperfections and streak like mad. Not a fan.

Jelly and frost tied with 3 votes. While no one seems to favor mattes, sheers, or suedes. I can see why those trends like matte and suede wouldn't be a classic favorite. And french or sheer is usually a bit safe for lacquerheads.

Two of you selected other, which makes me wonder what I forgot to add to the list!! (?)

If you forgot to vote this week leave a comment sharing your favorite formula!!

Poll Results: What is your favorite nail polish brand?

Two blog posts in one day!? I am on FIRE! LOL. Don't forget to check out my post today on LA Girl Rock Star "Live on Stage" I am really loving that polish (see below).

I just wanted to share the results of my first poll here at Prim and Polished. I asked what your favorite nail polish brand is and 15 of you have spoken and the winner is.... OPI!!! 7 of you prefer OPI followed closely by 5 of you choosing China Glaze!!



What makes OPI such a favorite? I imagine their vast color selection, frequent special collections and quality give them an edge. While they are a touch pricey for some they are readily accessible, often on sale, and not THAT expensive (think Rescue Beauty Lounge!)

I voted on the poll and I choose China Glaze. I really love their product, I think the formula is consistently good, they're inexpensive, have a huge color selection and great staying power. I wish they were easier to find in physical locations other than Sally Beauty, but hey, what are you gonna do right?!

If you missed the poll please let me know in the comments below what your favorite polish brand is and why!


Don't forget to vote in the new poll asking what your favorite polish formula is!!
