Revlon ColourStay Gel Envy Nail Polishes are amazing.They come in a multitude of shades,so there is a shade for every season,every occasssion and everyone.I switch up my nail colour on a weekly basis because by day 4 my nails start chipping,but I find my self rocking my Revlon Colourstay Gel Envy manicure and/or pedicure longer.I find it quite quick to dry with a shiny finish that doesnt turn dull quickly.The only downside of this nail polish is the price tag,at R110,but hey,I say its totally worth it.
Okay so I bought this product because I heard about it every time I switched on my television, saw it whenever I opened my Youtube. You name the place I saw it there. So naturally when Dischem pharmacy had a special I didn't think twice. I grabbed and I didn't look back. (I got another brand with it to compare...)
I could wait to get home and try it out!! I followed the instructions that read to apply two coats and and then the gel... my first impressions, lemme just say that I was chuffed by the color. Now before I invested in this product I read some other reviews and it was very mixed to say the least. So I got it to decide for myself
I busted the top open and went to town (my nails were clean I made sure). So I'm applying the first coat and immediately I was confused, I'm not sure if there was too much nail polish on the brush or my nail bed is too small for the brush or something I don't know! As I keep brushing I kind of get the hang of applying it with the big old brush. I applied the gel finish and waited. It didn't take too long to dry so that was a major plus for me. Shap! Day 1 nail polish still looks fresh Day 2 more or less the same as day 1 Come day 4! Well this isn't awkward. The tips of my nails was starting to show... and then by the evening I noticed that there were chips in my nails. Okay so maybe I didn't apply it correctly. So I take it off and start again. And again ! Things became awkward by day 3. Needless to say it didn't live up the hype and I didn't get my money's worth. But I will give it one major plus. When things started getting awkward it didn't look all busted and what not, it just looked like I haven't been to the salon in a while and my gel overlay was over laying. I'll give it two and a half coconut oil bottles out of five.
I bought 3 of these at R110 each simply because the idea of doing my own nails n achieving salon type results without waiting n fiddling with money to pay after having them done appeals to me. I bought one in pink,purple and blue.they are solid colours without any pearlescence and look incredible on short nails. Although one coat is definitely enough i applied two out of habit and a topcoat. I loved the glossy tidy at home nails i achieved.however i was surprised 15 minutes later to discover that the paint has shifted n had an imprint in it. Clearly this paint needs just one coat, quick dry and a good 30 min or so to set. Its a learning curve n that hasnt put me off this fabulous range.
