My Favorite Nail Polish Brands in the Philippines

There are many nail polish brands in the Philippines. You can actually find one as low as P13 at the wet market up to P500 high end ones at the malls. The local nail polishes however would only cost you around P30-P80 depending on the brand, size and finish.

Although there are a lot to choose from, not all of it has great quality. Here's a list of  of my favorite brands.

1. Chic Nail Polish

I've been using Chic for a long time. It has a wide range of nail polish colors to choose from but the finish they offer is very limited to regular and frosted. They do release a few ones like the Grainy Collection but I rarely see it in stores. The formula is thin and sheer so most of the times, I use it as a base color by layering it thinly until I reached desired opacity.

2. Caronia Nail Polish

This the most popular polish in the Philippines. If you go to a salon for a maniped, you'd definitely see a lot of Caronia shades. The formula is a lot thicker than Chic polishes so I kind of find it difficult to work with ones it's exposed to air. I normally use this polish to make the details in my nail art design.

3. Bobbie Nail Polish

This brand is owned by Chic Centre and by far my favorite. The formula is thin but its color is vivid. It's easy to work with both for background and detailing. They have a wide range of regular shades and they also have different collections of fancy finishes that you'd bearly find on local brands.

There is more to check out but these are my most trusted ones. Do you know any affordable polishes worth trying? Please comment it below so I could check it out.
