23 Best Nail Polish Colors for Perfect DIY Manicures

I have a huge repertoire of polishes, and this is, by far, my most used bottle of the bunch. Paintbox’s formulas are top-notch in general: They go on like melted butter, and have a unique brush that gives you control so you’re not slathering your skin instead of the sides of your nail. And they last. But this matte polish is something else. I’ve applied it over every kind of formula, and it ups the ante every time—it just looks so cool and effortless. Whether you use it alone or with some glossy nail art, this polish is truly a vibe. —S.S.
