There are many cheap nail polishes. Here are our three favorite varnishes that last particularly long and are real insider tips.
Nothing is nicer than spicing up your outfit with a great nail polish color: a bright red with simple basics such as jeans and a white T-shirt, a fresh rose tone with a colorful dress or trendy mother-of-pearl polish for a business look.
Also freshly painted feet and feetgive our outfit the finishing touch and quickly turn even subtle looks into real eye-catchers - especially now in summer.
Reading tips:
No wonder our nail polish collection at home keeps growing. There is also a huge selection of cheap nail polishes, which is why we usually just grab it when we like a color on the drugstore shelf. But not every cheap product meets our needs. If the paint peels off here and there after just a few hours, we are reluctant to use it a second time. And so it stays in the bathroom cupboard forever and hardly used.
Even if the product was available for little money: bad purchases are always annoying. That's why we're introducing you to our three affordable nail polish favorites from dm, Rossmann and Co. that last the longest.
#1: Rival neon nail polish
A real insider tip is the neon nail polish from Rival. The bright, rich colors are perfect for summer and even glow in UV light. The paint can be applied very well and without streaks. In addition, the colors are opaque after the first layer.
The neon nail polish gets a special plus point for its durability: The nail polish lasted five days on our nails without a top coat - without chipping. Perfect for anyone who avoids flashy colors because small mistakes are more noticeable than with subtle paintwork.
The neon nail polish from Rival is available at Rossmann or online here in the Rossmann online shop.*
Tipp:Because Rival's neon nail polish lasts so well, you should always apply a layer of base coat beforehand. The base coat makes it easier to remove the color later with nail polish remover without smudging and leaving unsightly color residue on the edge of the nail.

#2: Essie Nail Lacquer
The nail polish from Essie is not super cheap at around 8-10 euros, but it is definitely worth the price. The Essie paint impresses not only with its diverse range of colors. The color result on the nails is particularly impressive. Thanks to its special formulation, the polish evens out unevenness, so that the nail appears smoother and firmer after painting.
The large fan brush is also practical: it makes applying the nail polish super easy and quick. With a top coat over the colored polish, the durability of the Essie nail polish is also satisfactory. Only the opacity could be improved: 2-3 coats are needed for an intensive color result.
You can find Essie nail polish in the drugstore around the corner or here on Amazon.*
#3 essence Nagellack
The “shine last & go!” nail polish from essence is an absolute favorite among drugstore nail polishes. You get it in many different colors. Including many color classics, such as red and numerous nude tones. But also lots of trendy colors. As the name suggests, this polish is supposed to have a nice shine and last a long time.
We think it definitely does what it promises. Because it usually lasted two days on our nails - even longer depending on the color - without flaking off. In addition, the paint can be applied quickly and easily. We were also impressed by the short drying time and the great color results.
You can buy the essence nail polishes in the drugstore or directly here on Amazon.*
For even better durability: The best top coat on Amazon
If you want to get the most out of your nail polish in terms of durability, you can't avoid a top coat. The transparent varnish seals the paint, protects it from chipping and also makes it shine beautifully.
The absolute favorite on the internet is thisSeche Vite Top Coat*. The paint should penetrate to the base coat and thereby ensure a particularly strong coating. In addition to its strong hold, customer reviews also praise the top coat for drying very quickly. After just a few minutes, your hands should be ready for everything again. The polish is also said to make the nails harder and more resilient.
