Now that you have already checked out the products, take a look at how you can pick the best one for yourself -

Here are the parameters to consider before buying the best coral nail polish - 

a) Formula- Before you make a purchase, make sure you are well aware of the formula. Nail polishes come in cruelty-free and vegan-friendly formulas to cater to the needs of different people with different choices. Other than that, a formula that is free of toxins and harmful chemicals is any day more preferable to one that is not.

Speaking of harmful chemicals, our contributor Anna Parvatova, says, “We in the nail industry commonly refer to the "Toxic Trio," which is shorthand for the three dangerous compounds found in some nail products: formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). These chemicals should be avoided since they might cause unpleasant side effects such as extreme redness, swelling, and itching. What's especially more concerning is that prolonged exposure to these harmful substances has been connected to asthma, cancer, and even reproductive problems.”

b) Texture- This depends on personal preference. If you love matte texture and are an office goer, go for it without a second thought. Similarly, for people who are more into clubbing and parties, glitter, and shimmer colors are preferable since these make the nails more noticeable any day than the matte ones.

c) Ingredients- Make sure your nail polish is free of harmful chemicals like toluene, formaldehyde, paraben, phthalates, etc. to ensure that the nail health remains unaffected.
