I don't see anything wrong with them. They come in lots of trendy colors and some have vitamens to enchance your nails. I have found that cheap nail polishes tend to chip sooner though, so it's wise that you remove it after several days. But they really are a bargain! If you're looking for something to make your nails healthier and stronger, get something that is a hardener and ingredients friendly to your nails. Also, if your wear nail polish a lot, it'd probably be a good idea to invest in a few high-quality polishes, in colors that you would wear often, such as a nuetral shade for everyday wear.

If you look at the ingredients there are very few difference between high end and low. The only time I will pay more for a nail polish is if it is a color I love and can not find anywhere else. Or for the speed dry.

I've bought some dollar nail polish before. Sometimes better than high end nail polish.

I think it will not create any problem. As long as you maintain your nails and skin near by nails clean.

Some cheaper nail polishes are even better than some of the expensive ones! It's usually to do with how many coats you apply..if you do one coat it's less likely to chip quickly than if you cake it on with too many coats some bottles say do two coats etc...but that's not always the way it also depends on how much colour you want to your nails. I also found that alot of quick dry nail polishes are gloopy and do the opposite!

Some of the dollar stores carry brand name polishes. But some polishes from Dollar stores can be watered down. You can tell by shaking the bottle
