Reception

Anna M. M. Vetticad gave a positive review and said that the film "touches upon aspects of sexual violence rarely discussed in Hindi cinema or in Indian society at large."[5] Shrikanth Venkatesh of Sify wrote: "Nail Polish is a gritty film and is gripping for the most part. The acting is generally top notch, with Arjun Rampal and Manav Kaul especially in fine form.[6] Archika Khurana of The Times of India called it a "a compelling thriller which can be watched for its story and most importantly the outstanding performances."[7]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express praised the film and wrote: "A few things are overstated, a couple of facts are fuzzily presented, but despite the occasional eye-roll, Nail Polish, buoyed by a wonderful performance from Manav Kaul, and ably supported by the rest, keep us engaged."[8] Prathyush Parasuraman of Film Companion wrote: "If nothing else, this movie is a testament to how well-framed, well-acted films can elevate even the banal writing, even if it cannot entirely transcend the banality."[9]
