Claws S03E06 (Fly Like an Eagle)
I love intermission shots in this TV show! They always feature fantastic manicures, shiny accessories and tons of nail polishes. This time, the pedicure it presents is a bit unusual: 1-dollar bills are used as toe spacers 😉 The nail polish used here is RK by Kiss HD nail polish in a fire red shade.
Claws S02E05 (Zaddy Was a Rolling Stone)
In an intermission shot three polishes can be seen – a fluo pink one by OPI, a bright red one by Orly and a sunny yellow one by China Glaze.

China Glaze Everglaze, Orly and Essie nail polishes are displayed at the Nail Artisan of Manatee County salon.
Pose S01E02 (Access)
When Elektra Abundance (Dominique Jackson) visits the nail salon where Blanca (MJ Rodriguez) works, it’s clear she’s not interested in getting a manicure. She asks for a top coat on her already done nails, and she soon points out her likes and dislikes.
She likes Revlon and Max Factor nail polishes. In the adverts above (both from 1987), you can see the design these brands had for their nail varnish bottles.
She totally dislikes Yardley, the British brand founded in 1770 which was incredibly successful in the 1960s and 1970s, but lost its appeal in the 1980s.
She’s not done with Blanca: her former daughter should take better care of herself and her “ashy complexion” by using Pond’s cold cream.
In the screencap above we can see a jar of Barbicide disinfectant on Blanca’s working station.
In the meantime, Blanca is applying the top coat Elektra has asked for. It’s by Seche Vite, even if this product didn’t exist in 1987 (the brand was founded in 1991).
When Blanca puts away the top coat, we can see a display of OPI nail polishes. This is historically incorrect, since the American brand, founded in 1981, expanded its portfolio to nail lacquers in 1989, not in 1987.

Thanks to Jessica in the comments who identified the Herbal Essences spray and the Smashbox foundation.

Josie (Ashleigh Murray) and Valerie (Hayley Law) have a conversation about their future as a band before performing at a school show.
On Josie’s dressing table there are two nail polish bottles: the pink one is by Kleancolor.
We are given an excellent shot of the mascara she’s using: it’s So Lashy! Blast Pro by Covergirl.
