Just about everyone loves a pretty product. The oddly-shaped bottles and flashy names are, well, pretty darn appealing. We’re all human, after all. But it turns out that, if you look past all the visual appeal and get down to the nitty gritty of the product, high-end nail polishes really aren’t worth the money.
One of the flashiest nail polishes out there is the Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin Nail Polish. It also happens to be one of the most expensive, costing a whopping $50 per bottle. According to Cafe Mom, the ultra-pointy bottle of polish isn’t actually worth the money when considering the product itself. The same goes for the equally quirky but a tad more affordable Gucci Vernis À Ongles Nail Polish. Customer reviews on Sephora’s website have the overall consensus that, while the product is pretty, it chips pretty quickly.
There is one major reason to still buy these high-end, designer nail polishes, though: to collect. While some people want to buy them to wear, others might want to add it to their designer collection. And guess what? That’s totally fine! Just know that what you’re getting into if you’re looking at these brands specifically to get some wear out of them.
