One’s got a powder, two have a creamy — take a look at the options when you keep reading!

There are so many fantastic options available for those of us that want our nails to look perfectly manicured but don’t want to shell out for an expensive polish. With the great deals available on Ulta’s beauty page, it’s easy to find the best picks for your desired look, without making a dent in your wallet. We’re also loving the bevy of options at major drugstore chains. And where there’s good deals, there’s also good quality, and that’s why we are constantly adding these picks to our must-have list. A typical polish can cost anywhere from $10 to $15, but that’s not the case when it comes to this month’s top picks. Some of these brands offer an array of colors at affordable prices and high quality, too.

Keep reading to see our pick of the best “bare essentials” for beauty lovers that don’t want to spend a fortune.

Annie

If your fancy is nail polish and you don’t mind a little color, Annie nail polish is the place to go. These mixes come in all kinds of shades, including a nude and peach, and each one is affordable enough to last the full 12 months of the year. Get it here for $8.

Kix

If your love for high polish gloss fades after only a few manicures, this brand will be your saving grace. Their nail gloss shades are certified natural, and their perfume matchable shades offer a natural hint of color to the glassy finish. They come in a variety of hues, including pale mauve and rose gold, and are packed with such healthy ingredients as collagen, organic tea tree oil, and avocado oil. Get it here for $8.

Neuhaus

Remember when Chanel’s 2008 fragrance Coco launched? The floral scent won several beauty awards and constantly sells out at Sephora, yet some of the finest customers cannot find it anywhere. Why is that? Well, because this scent was created from years of fragrances bred from scents that didn’t sell too well. So what’s the opposite of a label that can’t keep its nose out of a scent? For those of us that want good, affordable beauty, look no further than Neuhaus. All their makeup and skin care products are certified organic, including their gorgeous lipsticks. They’ve been released since 2012, and are an essential pick for every beauty lover. Get it here for $8.

Nars

Ever since launching their semi-porous, clear nail polish, Nars has become one of the most successful brands in the beauty industry. These phenomenal products range from delicate matte black to shimmery glitter, and come in sizes from four to 12. Think of them as an indulgent, eight-ounce gift box of much-needed polish. Get it here for $18.

White Fox Nail Polish

Though it seems to have gotten overshadowed in the manicure market, White Fox is also a fan favorite for the high quality of their products and the vast range of bold shades that they offer. Whether you are a nail enthusiast that is looking for a crazy bright, ultra-nude shade, or someone who loves rich deep reds, these shades are perfect for you. Get it here for $10.

Kiss My Nails

If you are a beginner to nail polish, look no further than Kiss My Nails for your all-natural nail polish, which was designed using an organic compound to ensure the safety of the ingredients and the extremely safe finishing process. The company also sends out small amounts of actual nail polish, so your new shade can be mixed with your own natural product to change it up even more. Get it here for $5.

Essie

While some brands now offer more synthetic colors, from CoverGirl to Chanel, we still love going back to Essie’s classic formulas. With pink and purple and green shades to choose from, the brand’s products provide a dose of excitement, and make it easy to find your perfect manicure while saving money at the same time. Get it here for $12.
