Why These 6 Luxury Nail Polishes Are Worth It (Tried and Tested!)

Givenchy is one of my all-time favorite beauty brands. From its highly pigmented eyeshadows to its Noir Couture 4 in 1 Mascara ($32), the label really knows how to make dramatic makeup wearable. Givenchy Le Vernis Intense Color Nail Lacquer fits this ideal as well, in that there's a range of bold and natural hues to fit any mood or season.

Price: $20

Texture: Regardless of the color, the polish is really pigmented. The high-coverage formula has a glossy finish that reminds me of a gel manicure — without the long prep time. All I needed was one layer, because it's pretty thick. However, it doesn't streak because the brush only grabs just enough product to fit the nail.

Longevity: The polish kept its glossiness throughout the entire wear. With just one coat, it didn't chip until day four.
