Small store but fully packed with a variety of brands and colors. Essie regular is 4$ a bottle. The guy working the store was very nice and able to answer all of our questions and suggest products that work well with what we were buying or were inquiring about. He knew his product very well and would help look for colors of you couldn't find them. Definitely will be back. read more

Stop #2 of my nail supplies quest! Stopped in to get some nail polish, prices are good, but store seems very small and crammed. I also couldn't find certain colors of Opi nail polish. Prices also seem to have increased since some of the other yelp reviews: Opi $4.25, Essie $4 Parking is very easy, may come back. read more

I have been a loyal customer of IBS for years! Sure this place is tiny but they always have everything I need and more. They always have a great deal on all of my polish needs and the tools I use to give myself a good paint job. They also carry a handful of lotions, oils, wax stuff, cotton balls by the pound, and new gel polish product. It's almost embarrassing to admit that along the years, I've collected over 600 polishes (a bit obsessed??). All of my polishes are in great condition and I never had an issue with the products they sell. When I need help with something I want to try new, they always give me a little tutorial. They also at times have a show and tell where the vendors come out and demonstrate how to use the products. I never had an issue with customer service and feel like they treat me the same way as they do with their professional customers. Matter of fact, if there's a new line coming out that I want, I've asked them to save me the entire collection until I could make my way back there. They went as far as to call me to tell me that my latest colors are in! read more

The little things make me happy I am a nail polish and nail whore. My girlfriend introduced me to this place. They have fairly priced OPI, Essie, Orly, and China Glaze polishes (compared to other Vietnamese nail supply stores). The only thing that annoyed me was that the guy told me the price for a polish when I asked him then he made the price go up when it was getting rung up. Stupid. Also, they don't carry the cheap non brand polishes that other places have. read more

One of my absolute favorite Nail supply stores. I visit Imperial at least once a month and am never disappointed with their new brand name inventory of polishes. Oh, OPI, Chine Glaze, Nubar, Orly, Jessica, & Essie, Oh My! New Opi & China Glaze come in regularly & are priced at 40% of retail. New collections are found here before the others (Ulta, Sally's) get their stock. Yeah sure, service is not up to par, but I don't mind. I like to shop in peace without the owners/cashiers haggling me. So what, if they're staring at you with their eagle eyes? Don't steal or swatch polishes and you'll be fine. They've got cameras, as do other retail shops. Smile, enjoy this nail haven and buy something from Imperial Beauty Supply! read more

Went here for a few supplies since I've started doing my own dip powder nails and pedicure at home! I found everything I needed at a very affordable price! The man at the cashier (didn't get his name) was really, really helpful and nice. I'd highly recommend coming here for your nail needs and support your local business! read more

Stores like these have made buying nail polish anywhere else blasphemy! Such an amazing selection for half to two-thirds the price?! Get out of here! They have a great array off Opi Essie China glaze for around 4 bux give or take. They also have gel polish (gelish, CND,Vinylux) for 10-14 bux each. I've compared their Opi with the legitimate kind and did some research on how to identify fakes - the verdict: no knock offs here! It's cheaper if you sign up for their free membership but there's an odd requirement - you can't use the members discount for your first time purchase. So remember to grab your membership the first time! Was hoping there was a greater selection of nail jewelry - they have a singular rack of stickers and small rhinestones. The staff doesn't speak English so don't expect any help besides price points! read more

5+ years later since I was introduced to this nail supply store. Made my yearly visit and the nail polish stock is amazing and kept up to date. This store has a wide selection for gel polishes including the new Essie gel couture which no UV lamp is needed. You will however need to buy the top coat for Essie gel couture in order to get the 14 day wear that it advertises. The guy even gave me a little pamphlet for instructions on how to use the Essie gel nail polishes. I left yet again as a happy customer. Yes, the prices seem to go up every time I go here but it's still cheaper than buying these top notch nail polishes at target, sephora, ULTA, etc. from what I bought, here are the prices as of 12/27/16: Essie gel couture - $5 (at ULTA they are priced at 11.50) Opi nail polish - $5 Seche vitae top coat - $4-4.50? I will be back again to feed my nail polish craving in another year or when I'm out of top coat again read more

Small, organized nail store. Credit card accepted Carries Zoya, China Glaze, Orly, Essie, OPI Carries 2-3 other smaller brands The store clerk was friendly and was able to track down a polish that's been sold out on Orly's site. Another great thing is that they sell older collection set of nail polish. If you but make than 5 sets, each set comes out to $18. Overall, I foresee a return! read more

Nail polish heaven!! Essie - $4 OPI - $4.50 China Glaze - $4 Other brands - $3.75 - $4.50 Out of all the nail supply stores, this store has pretty standard prices. What I liked most about it though is that they had a hugeeeee selection of Essie colors. They didn't have as many OPI colors as I would have liked, but they did have the liquid sand kind and all the new lines (Oz, summer collection, etc.) The man working was really nice, and put up with my pickiness! He knew where every color was and even helped us find the right pink we were looking for. This shop also allows you to test colors our on yourself as well - not many stores like it when you do! read more

Love this little place the guy there may not be the friendliest but hes polite and will help you if you ask him, I usually go to bolsa nail supply but found this place and its pretty good the opi section is not very big but they have a lot of the popular colors and they do tend to carry all the new collections the same for essie and china glaze they will have the new collections but the rest of the selection is ok. I just recently picked up the Skyfall collection and he did have all the new colors so if your in the area you should visit prices are much better then beauty zone(5.50 not 8.50) for opi OPI $4.25 OPI designer$5.25 Essie$4.00 China Glaze 3.00 Orly $3.75 Orly Speacial Effects (Black Handle) $5.00 read more

I was in nail polish heaven. This place is going to bankrupt me... The store is pretty small so I imagine if there are a lot of people in there, it would be impossible to really browse. Fortunately, there were only two other customers in there when I arrived: a girl and her boyfriend who looked like he wanted drink acetone and die rather than look at more polish. When I walked in, the owner was on the phone and he barely even acknowledged me until I said hi. He grumbled back. Not a good start, I guess. He was then talking to the other customers and they left. I was looking through the OPI racks and started putting things in my basket. He came over and I asked him about upcoming collections (Nicki Minaj and Dutch) so he hung around talking to me about their stuff. They had a pretty nice selection of OPI and Essie. The also carry Nubar which I have never tried so I picked up their Jeans collection. I told the owner that I have some serious nail polish issues and he says to me: "First step is admitting your problem." Haha! Now let me get to the best part: PRICES! (As of 12/17/11) OPI - $4.25 OPI Designer Series - $6.25 Essie - $3.00 Nubar - $3.25 (black cap) I didn't check the prices on China Glaze or Orly but I'm sure they're just as good. I honestly didn't look at all the other stuff but they had the usual assortment of buffers, rhinestones, files, tips, etc. We were talking about nail polish storage and he asked me if I have storage racks. I told him that I had storage stuff already and he said that he'll save me some racks for the next time I come in and I can have them for free if I need them. Score! I will definitely be back. read more

This is a hole in the wall beauty supply store that is filled with boxes and boxes of stuff. The aisles can fit maybe two small people. But don't judge this book by its cover. It has a wonderful selection of nail polish. I could have stayed there forever, but I wasn't feeling so good. I grabbed me 1 Orly polish, 1 Orly ridge filler, 1 Orly topcoat, 2 of those filing thingamajigs to file down gels, 1 metal cuticle pusher, finger soaker bowls - notice my eloquent knowledge of manicure/pedicure accessories - and a bottle of gel remover. I originally wanted the acetone, but the guy behind the counter told me not to. That it was too strong for gel - better to gel remover. For a total of $30. I thought that was excellent! I was a little hesitant about the gel remover, but I tested both the acetone (had a little at home) and the gel remover and I am soooooo glad to have followed his advise. The Acetone, after soaking for a few minutes started to burn (ouch) and had to repeat dipping my fingers in a few times to get the gel lilfted. The gel remover on the other hand, did not burn, did not cause my fingers to whiten and took just a few minutes. The two men working their weren't warm and fuzzy, mind you. But they treated me with respect and gave great advise. And again, what a selection of colors!! Going back when I feel better! read more

This place is a must-stop if you are a nail polish fan. It's a teeny little store, easily missed. The boxes of shiny goodness are piled almost to the ceiling, and the aisles are kind of narrow. If you like "the hunt" you will be rewarded! They have a great selection of Essie, Orly, OPI, China Glaze, and even Nubar. Their prices are amazing. MUCH cheaper than other places. My first time, I got 2 Orly Cosmic FX polishes (normally $10 each), 1 Essie (normally $8), 1 OPI (normally $8.50) and Orly Bonder (normally about $10) for a total of $26 and change. They also don't charge tax if you pay with cash or a debit card! Sweet! They did have some nail art-related stuff such as decals, striper polishes, etc. and some supplies for gel nails, but I did not pay too much attention because for me it was all about scoring some sweet sweet deals on polishes. read more

I went here on a search for Zoya nail polish. Zoya nail polishes I got!! I got 4 polish bottles, their top coat and an OPI nail polish remover for way less than retail! I'm going back! I didn't see a ton of variety (I'm in search of SpaRituals), but we'll see. I am a fan of BIG5FREE lacquers so it's nice to see that this little shop carries Zoya! Prices can't be beat! It's hard to get around the store but it's not impossible. LOCATION: This is NOT in the T&K lot, it's on the corner of Bushard & Bolsa. read more

1/3/2013 - they have OPI liquid sand/Mariah Carey collection for $4.50 each. They seem to have current Essie, OPI, China Glaze and Orly polishes for about half the price of regular retail. You won't find the $1 polishes here. read more

Although parking is not great here, my girlfriend seemed to thoroughly enjoy that she could get nail polish for cheap. I will probably never understand nail polish and I will probably be the only guy who reviews this place, but whatever :) read more

Small but full store that carries good selection of Opi ($5) and Essie ($4). Owner is knowledgeable about products and very helpful.

The store is pretty small but the guy working there is very nice and can answer all your questions as well as suggesting stuffs you need. Bought a arcrylic brush here and it is the best brush ever. Plus the price is reasonable compared to other supplies. Im from San Diego and definitely come back when im here read more

This place is dangerous for my wallet. This is my #1 place to feed my nail polish addiction. The owner is so incredibly nice. He knows his inventory too! I asked for a specific polish that wasn't out on the floor and he knew he had it in the back and got me 2 bottles. His prices are *very* good. Cheaper than other supply stores I go to, although he told me last time OPI prices were going up. =( still less than retail, which is fine by me! The store is very small and cramped. It's easy to shop but I wouldn't recommend bringing a stroller in there as the isles are very narrow. If older and forgotten gems are your thing, this is defiantly the place to come. read more

Another place that feeds my addiction. And what also kills my wallet. Ugh, darn it! I love this place. They carry OPI, Essie, China Glaze, Orly, a few other brands that aren't as popular, but one reason I REALLY love this place is because they carry Nubar polishes (which I can't find anywhere but online). I used to pay $7+ for Nubar polishes online, but here they only sell them for $3.25. I was like SERIOUSLY?! I thought it was a joke. OPI is $4, and I forgot how much the other brands are but they're around $3. I bought a huge bottle of Seche Vite top coat (for refills; it also comes with a regular sized bottle) for $15. Amazing stuff. This place is small though. I have two kids & I thought I could bring a stroller in. But nope! I had to have their dad stay with them in the car while I browsed around real quick. read more

Good selection of nail polishes and they carry all of my favorite brands: Nubar, OPI, China Glaze, ORLY, Essie, ect for so cheap! The place is organized, although cramped but there has never been too many people shopping the times I went. The guys working here know their stuff and have always been helpful if I am looking for a certain nail polish. Also they always tell me about collections they are expecting soon - like the Nicki Minaj OPI collection. This is definitely my favorite nail polish store in Westminster and I will be coming back again and again for my nail polish fix. BRING CASH! read more

It is amazing how much can be crammed into a small space. My "don't like", few things are priced, tends to give me the idea that I pay based on someone's mood or assessment of my ability to pay... they don't carry a lot of major brand product (you won't get OPI formation tips here) and product is sometimes old... I've asked them to crack open the Creative scrub and smelled old oil, it was put back on the shelf. The upside, really good prices, a good selection of files, polish (inc OPI, China glaze, Nubar, etc), acrylics, glitters, gels, wrap, various tools, clippers, and some of the "off" brand lotions and scrubs are really good. The guys who run and seem to own are really polite and willingly helpful. A good source for both professional and DIYers, one of my three primary in the area... highly recommended Good parking, watch out for the drivers who are not watching... getting back on Bolsa heading east can be a challenge..... read more

This is my fav nail place to get new colors. OPI is $4.25 and the small nail art polish is $1.50. The guy who works the counter is quiet but I like him because he doesn's stare at you suspiciously while you shop and minds his own business. He seems genuinely nice and when you ask a question (about price or whatever) he never sounds annoyed. The store is a bit small and tight to navigate around, but most of these stores are. If you want to buy acetone, you have to ask the guy behind the counter and he goes gets it in the back. It's sort of far and not close to any freeways, but it's really worth it when you are buying 2-3 colors rather than paying retail prices. Oh, and bring cash. I've never paid tax paying with cash thus far. read more

Love ...love ....love that they stock Zoya polish!! You can get OPI, Essie, China Glaze, at nearly any nail supply store, but Zoya polishes for 4.50 a bottle (a bit higher for pixie dusts) and so many colors and I will be returning very soon to get more... I was at the end of my self imposed polish allowance last trip so only picked up about 8 bottles, so many colors left to get ...this is going to be an awesome place to feed my Nail Polish Addiction! read more

Service: poor! The owner didn't help me look for anything and was on the phone the entire time. I didn't even get a normal greeting. Price for OPI: $4.50 (mediocre) Selection: If you're coming here for OPI and Chinaglaze, then POOR. They have a decent amount of Orly though. I hated how a lot of their nail polishes looked like it's been sitting there forever and you see the nasty separation of colors. VyVy's nail supply in San Diego is cheaper, friendlier, and carries a very wide selection for both Chinaglaze and OPI. Honestly, it was a waste of my time coming here and the only reason it's getting 3 stars is because it's still cheaper than retail. If you're in SD, stop by VyVy's! :) The owners are very patient and helpful. read more

Love this little spot. They are definitely more helpful than Skylark and Beauty Zone. I actually went to those to places right before I came here but Skylark is no longer carrying OPI and Beauty Zone charges $8.50 for them now. I was driving around Garden Grove like a crazy lady looking for the $4.25 OPI stores...and finally I found a little gem of a place. Imperial is very small but they have the colors I needed and even have the new Germany Collection of OPI. The staff was incredibly helpful and gave me recommendations for the best base and top coats. Come here instead of those huge beauty supply stores. I'm positive they'll have what you're looking for! read more

This is nail polish heaven. They have OPI, China Glaze, ESSIE. All the big salon brands. You name it. I found every nail polish color I could ever want in this store. When you walk in this store, you know you can't resist and probably are going to leave with at least three bottles of nail polish. The guys there are not exactly greeting-friendly, but they are helpful if you ask questions. I wish I could buy a new polish on a weekly basis. Either way, if I ever need nail polish... I'm driving straight here! read more

Great prices & nice selection. Buy more, and get a discount per bottle :) I deducted a star because the guy working was so unwelcoming and not attentive! I was ready to pay and I literally waited there for 5minutes while he was fixing the nail filing machine on the counter! Couldn't you at least stop to ring up a customer?.... read more

Great selection of polishes, I saw LOTS of Essie, & surprisingly had some Nubar on stock. Lots of OPI here too, but you can't buy them unless you have a nail tech license on hand ): read more

OPI: $4.25 Essie: $4 China Glaze: $3 Seche Vite top coat: $4 read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I just went to this store because of the great reviews and I am so excited! Great prices and selection and I felt the owner was very helpful any time I had a question. I bought OPI and China Glaze. I wish he would have had some matte colors in OPI. I probably should have bought a matte top coat, oh well.....a reason to go back! read more

They have SO MUCH Zoya now $4.25 a bottle. Also Zoya's amazing one-of-a-kind nailpolish remover for way cheap, too.

Went there this past saturday, it was empty when i got there and the guy who was there didnt greet me , which i didnt mind BUT he made it so obvious he was staring at me and my sister who went along with me, when we would go to another isle he would be behind the register just staring at us , i literally felt the heat of him just staring at us it was super annoying , its obvious he was staring just to see if we would steal anything because he never asked if i was looking for anything in particular.. that ruined my experience for me and i dont know if i'll go back BUT they do have the OPI Holland collection for you to see but they wont sell it until Feb 8th.. -_- so i might just go back for those polishes and never re visit that store again. read more

Absolute heaven!!!!!! Lots and lots and lots of choices of gel colors and brands. Uv lamp was only $50! So stoked to get home and try everything out! Very friendly service and he had football on :) always a plus. I will definitely be recommending and returning frequently! read more

Since I mainly purchase Essie nail polish, I definitely love this place. It's a small place but their Essie collection is huge! I really like how it's organized and they actually display the names of the bottles. For $4/bottle, the price isn't bad. Will definitely start coming here for Essie! read more

This pace is far from my house but I still try to pass by when I go to Disneyland. they always have the newest collections, I just bought the new euro collection and the avant garden collection, opis were 4.50 and China glaze for 3, unless its a silver cap, then its 4.25 they also carry Orly, Jessica, Essie, and a couple other brands I forgot. Its a must go! read more

Best location for nail polishes. Always up to date with special lines that come out from Zoya, O.P.I., Essie, Orly, Seche Vite, etc. The guy there is awesome. He always help me find my colors and tell me directions on products. It's small but easy to find things. Prices are $4+ and never retail price. read more

I come here every season to get the new season colors. They carry up to date colors and you can't beat the price! $4 for Essie. Customer service is pretty non existent though. The thing I love about this place compared to the other nail supply stores is that the colors are labeled. read more

Imperial beauty supply is the place to get your nail polish fix. My cousin introduced me to it and I've never gone back to a drugstore since then. The store is very small but, well organized. The owners are friendly and don't follow you around the store like some other places I've been too. They have various brands such as China Glaze, OPI, Essie, Orly etc. I usually come here to get the new Essie colors for only $4.00 each. You can get 2 polishes for the price of one that you would get at CVS and other drug stores. They usually have new colors in stock but, sometimes they don't so you might have to make a second trip back for their new shipment. Be mindful that you may have to double check to make sure the formula is not thinned out. This happened only with two polishes that I bought from the Essie collection = Turtoise and Caicos and Butler Please). All of the other nail polishes I've purchase were perfectly fine. They accept credit card and cash. If you pay cash there is no tax so, def take advantage of that!!! read more
