Cosmetics have been in utilization for more than thousands of years. Nail polish used as cosmetics as since hundreds of years as nail protector and provide attractive appearance to nail. Marketed nail polishes are made by purely chemical based process which has long time side effects to nail. The present work deals with formulation and evaluation of turmeric and coriander based herbal nail polishes. Curcumin was extracted from turmeric powder by simple chemical process. Formulation process is very easy and free from hazardous chemicals. Formulated nail polishes have yellow (LF1) and greenish yellow (LF2) in colour. Drying time of nail polishes are 62 sec (LF1) and 72 sec (LF2). Formulated nail polishes were sufficient smooth and hard. Consistency and texture of formulations are promising. Both formulations are easily spreadable quality materials. Evaluation tests were found to in normal range according to I.P. Novel formulations can used as alternatives as chemical-based nail polished which is free from harmful chemicals and side effects related to it.
