This assortment is a nod to fashion's couture designs and contains six shades that range between a plum red dubbed Berry in Love ($12) and a gunmetal gray, Through The Lens. Although it's a gel polish that requires a high-shine topcoat, it easily removes like a regular polish so you can change your nail color on repeat.

The Sally Hansen Disney's Cruella Collection contains a mix of bold, bright hues and soft, muted tones that deliver up to eight days of wear and an ultraglossy finish. You can try Onyx-pected ($10), a true black, or go with another classic, Red Eye, a bold, fiery red. On the contrary, there's Get Mod, a bright white, or Tutu the Ballet, a pretty, sheer pink.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Blue Skies Ahead ($10) is an ode to pretty blue skies, as suggested by its name. This blue looks beautiful on all skin tones, and it's the perfect balance between bright and airy. This polish is part of a two-step system involving color plus a topcoat with no UV light necessary, and you can expect up to a week of soft, polished nails.

Have a beach vacation coming up? Then the Red Carpet Manicure Adventuring Abroad LED Gel Polish ($11) from the brand's Kyoto collection pairs perfectly with sun-kissed skin. This shade is a standout coral pearl perfect for summer, and it's formulated with vitamin A and biotin to help fortify and protect nails. It also promises 21 days of salon-quality wear, so you don't need to worry about showcasing chipped nails while sipping your favorite cocktail.

If you're feeling groovy, you may want to opt for the Essie Totally Plaid Gel Couture Nail Polish ($12), a moody olive green that delivers a shiny, cream finish. It's a retro shade that's part of the Pattern Play collection, inspired by the bold colors in classic patterns of the '70s. This polish is chip and fade resistant and requires no UV lamp or base coat. Fab Florals is a creamy amber brown that also leans into the lounge-y vibes and warm tones of the era.

The Ulta Beauty Wildly Beautiful Gel Shine Nail Lacquer in Untamed ($9) is an ivory-toned polish with a nine-free formula that strengthens the natural nail and provides creamy, shiny, long-wearing results.

For a super-quick and simple mani, the Red Carpet Manicure LED Cover Gel in Cover Pink ($11) is a pinky nude that instantly leaves nails primped and polished. You don't need to apply a base coat, just go straight in with the brush and then cure under the LED light to get up to 18 days of wear. This color is a nice option if you want something soft yet not entirely nude.

The Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Electri-Lime Neon ($10) polish brings a fun wash of color for both long and short nails. This two-step system requires a topcoat to fully seal in color and make it last for up to eight days.
