Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Back to Black Nail Color: $5.99

Hey! You don't have to spend excessive money to find high-quality nail polish. Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Nail Color is a prime example. Back to Black will give you a rich payoff within a couple of coats. And their claims are legitimate—it does dry within 60 seconds. Sounds pretty good for only $5.99.

China Glaze Liquid Leather Nail Polish: $7.99

China Glaze's Liquid Leather is an OG black nail polish. We used it in the early '10s and have been through multiple bottles. All it takes is two coats, and you have a manicure that lasts more than a week without breaking or chipping. With this level of low-cost luxury, maybe it is real liquid leather.
