We are often asked
where to find teal polish and which kind to use. At this time we
are not recommending just one.
The prices of the polishes listed below range from $8 down to $1 for the tiny Sally Girl bottle. All can be found at stores such as Ulta, Target, Sally Beauty Supply, drug stores and nail salons.
OPI is most often found in salons. Please visit our downloads page for suggestions on asking your local salon to support Teal Toes by stocking the polish.
Some of the things we have found:
- Most of the polishes are "frosted".
- You get what you pay for-- OPI lasts the longest.
- "Teal" is a difficult concept. Individually, these all look fine. Held up next to each other, you can see that some are more blue and some more green. We compared to an ovarian cancer jelly bracelet.
- Try it on. What looks very blue in the bottle might be teal-er when you put it on.
OPI "Teal the Cows Come Home" NL B54 -- A favorite of many of our testers
Nicole by OPI "Blue Lace" NI 171 -- very similar to the OPI
Diamond Cosmetics -- I was contacted a few months ago by the folks at Diamond Cosmetics. They have just come out with their newest shade "Don't Teal My Heart Away" and are donating 25 cents per bottle sold to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. I have tried this color twice. It is good quality, lasts and is a very true teal. It is flat. I recommend it, especially for those who do not want a sparkly polish.
Boys in the Bottle "Tony Teal" #31
Color Club "Bizerk Turq" FP04-- a tad blue but very nice. FLAT
Creative Nail Design "Hotski to Tchotchke" #333 Too green, but gorgeous.
China Glaze "Turned Up Turquoise"- on the green side
Piggy Polish "Polar Sea Ice" -- on the blue side. Flat- only a tiny bit of sparkle. Goes on VERY easily.
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Extreme Wear "Marine Scene" #23 -- a favorite of the testers.
Sally Hansen Laquer Shine "Flash" 04 -- on the blue side
Sally Girl (from Sally Beauty Supply) "Dumped" #812048- Despite the name, really nice. Tiny bottle (.18
oz) for $1.
Finger Paints "Put Your Feet Up" 806772- on the bluer side
Savvy (bought at Sally Beauty Supply)
"Totally Teal" Too green
" Electric Blue" More teal looking on.
Wet n Wild Wild Shine "Caribbean Frost"
Cover Girl Continuous Color "Electric Blue" #132 -- not a favorite
NYC-- Testers do not recommend this one.
