Like a one-of-a-kind necklace, your nail polish can be a key accessory. Along with the expertise of a professional manicurist, a great nail polish is central to any great manicure or pedicure. Because we live in an age of instant gratification, we demand more from our polish. Beyond color choice – which should “speak to us,” be in season, and fit the occasion – our nail polish has to be a good value as well: long-lasting and chip-resistant. Because of today’s extra busy agenda, we also need our nail polish to be dry quickly.

Are our standards are too high? Or can one polish really do all of these things? Well, TotalBeauty.com delivered their top 10 favorite nail polishes, and members rated CND Shellac with a score of 9.6 out of 10, making it one of the two best nail polish systems of 2014.

Why is it so great? All reviewers agree: CND Shellac lasts forever. “I’ve opened soda cans [and] done housework and my manicures have held up,” one reader raves. “The only reason why I need to get them done again every two to three weeks is because of the nail growth at the cuticle line…” Users also vouch for Shellac’s super-speedy drying time and forever lasting “new-car-shiny” finish. All together, these reasons make Shellac’s slightly higher price worthwhile, since you don’t need to schedule a manicure as frequently as you would with ordinary nail polish. Unless you buy the special UV light machine, you’ll most likely have to visit a salon for the highest-quality results with CND Shellac, but for the demanding mani/pedi junkies out there, this brand may be your new best friend.
