August's Best Beauty Buys

Coming Clean

Because this summer's dazzling rainbow of colors is too fun to resist, we've changed our nail polish more times in the past two months than we have in the past two years.But when cobalt and tangerine are in the mix, a high-powered polish remover is a must. The one we keep coming back to: Sephora Collection Instant Nail Polish Remover. Stick each nail into the sponge inside, twist, and the color disappears—no rubbing, no pile of dirty cotton balls. Our other bright-manicure essential: the Cutex Corrector Pen. Its angled point lets you tidy up the edges of your nails, and with four replacement tips, it lasts through dozens of polish changes.
