When it comes to nail polish, there are plenty of colours, textures, formulations, brands, and additional decorations that you can buy to customise your manicure. However, there is one thing that we all want from our nail polish, and that is longevity.
Nobody enjoys saying goodbye to a beautiful mani. No one likes walking around with chipped polish. Re-applying nail paint on top of a chipped base is not fun. Luckily, you don't have to deal with these problems with the nail polishes we have listed here. These are the six most long-lasting nail paint formulas you can buy in India!
OPI Nail Lacquer, Rs 850
Nykaa Cookie Crumble Nail Enamel, Rs 199
Colorbar Wonder Gel Nail Lacquer, Rs 350
Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist Nail Polish, Rs 350
DeBelle Gel Nail Lacquer, Rs 295
Maybelline Superstay Gel Nail Color, Rs 350
1. O.P.I Nail Lacquer, Rs 850
There aren't too many high-end nail polish brands which actually deliver something which warrants the high price tag, but this one does. This expensive polish costs so much for a reason. The lacquers are a lot more resistant to chipping than your usual polishes. Plus, it comes in 75 shades. Take our advice and buy it during sale season to get a better price!

2. Nykaa Cookie Crumble Nail Enamel, Rs 199
Perhaps it is the presence of the 'cookie' particles which adhere to nails like glue, or maybe there is something unique about the formula, but these polishes are a lot more long-lasting than the average Nykaa nail paints. Even when you try to remove it, it won't budge. Of course, these don't come in regular ol' shades, so you will end up looking like you have pastel nail art on, but that's not a bad thing, is it?
3. Colorbar Wonder Gel Nail Lacquer, Rs 350
This quick-drying nail polish does chip from the edges if you don't apply a base coat or top coat, but it doesn't come off completely. The best thing about it is the shape and size of the brush which makes applying it so much easier. To add to that, the formula is really smooth and non-streaky, which makes the pay off look neat and uniform.
4. Lakmé Absolute Gel Stylist Nail Polish, Rs 350
These nail polishes are really popular and common across salons because Lakmé is a household name. However, they do indeed last a decent amount of time and live up to their reputation as favourites. The issue, as always, is shade range--there are only nine shades available on Nykaa, and the availability varies from store to store if you go looking for it IRL.
5. DeBelle Gel Nail Lacquer, Rs 295
This seemingly obscure brand has some very long-lasting nail paints. While availability and shade range are issues (it's not a big brand you can get anywhere, and the shades on Nykaa don't include basics like a true red), you can rest assured that one coat of whatever you do buy will go a long way.
6. Maybelline Superstay Gel Nail Color, Rs 350
This 'gel' nail polish claims to last a whopping seven days, and there is a base coat available in this range which claims to further increase its longevity. Now, while it might seem expensive for a Maybelline product, it is often available at a fraction of the price during discount season. Plus, the shade range is really chic, so you get to choose from a sophisticated range of nudes and reds in addition to pared-down blues, blacks, and whites.
