When polish brand Nails Inc announced the launch of its spray-on lacquer last year, manicure junkies and nail newbies alike got amped for the new talon technology. If your skills are on the messy side, no worries; spray polish is intentionally messy, and the results are still gorgeous.
All you need to be capable of is slicking on a clear base coat, then spritzing on your color of choice. Once it's dry (and it dries quickly!), apply a topcoat. After you wash your hands, the polish on your cuticles and fingertips will rinse away, leaving a pretty manicure behind.
If you've decided that this is a trend you need to try, know that you now have three brands of spray-on polish to choose from. Nails Inc's innovation inspired other companies to make their own. That said, there are some differences among each. Read on to figure out which lacquer you should test first.

Why you should get it: If you're a fan of pink shades, you'll be won over instantly by the flashes of blue shimmer in this formula. The spray also smells like men's cologne (in a good way), and if you're on a budget, the China Glaze is two dollars cheaper than the other options.
