As beauty editors, it’s our job to experiment with all kinds of nail trends. From playing with nail art to experimenting with different types of manicures—it’s a great perk that comes with the job. But despite having endless new products at our disposal, many beauty editors are actually creatures of habit. Although a lot of us like to experiment with different nail colours and techniques (like the Ukrainian Manicure), just like you, we have that one signature nail polish shade that we keep coming back to.
Winning over (often cynical) beauty editors is no easy feat so I’m always intrigued to ask industry friends what polish has them hooked on it. With true classics like OPI’s Bubble Bath and Chanel's Rouge Noir to newer brands like The Gel Bottle, if you’re on the hunt for a new signature shade, you’ll find something to love (or fall back in love with) in this expert-approved list.
