It can be hard to find nail polish that is vegan and affordable. There are a lot of great, luxurious, natural beauty brands that are great for those with a little bit more money to spend. But for those of us who are still in school, are on a tight budget, or are a little frugal, buying an expensive, non-essential isn’t realistic or an option. Thankfully, these 11 different beauty brands offer an array of vegan nail polish colors for less than $11.
