Revlon Nail Enamel Review

I really like the colours available from Revlon, and the bottles are nice to look at too. I don't like the thin brush in these polishes as it takes too many strokes to complete a coat. Because they take awhile to dry, it's easy to mess up your second coat as it takes more strokes and smudges the first coat - making hard to get a good opaque even coverage. I find this too frustrating to buy more of these polishes. I have several in both light and dark shades as I kept wanting to give them a chance... I think if you want a light, transparent coat of polish like a shimmery see through pink or something, they would be fine. Not the best for a strong bold colour.

My biggest issue with a lot of polishes is that they take too long to dry and have this goopy,gluey consistency. I'm a busy person who hasn't got all day to be watching polish dry- so I was pleasently suprised when I first tried this polish. It glided on with a smooth,liquid consistency and dried within about 20-30 seconds. I can't say much for the staying power as I tend to use my hands a lot so polish always chips like mad for me, but touch-ups were quick and easy to do so really I have no complaints. Great value and a quality product for a non bank-breaking price.

I have quite a few shades of Revlon nail enamel, and the colours are all gorgeous. Theres no streaking when you apply them. The slim line brush and bristles allow a good application, and drying time is fairly quick. Im always quite tough on my hands, so most of my polishes chip quite easily, but this brand seems to stay on just a little longer. The bottles are pretty and the wider bottom is good for ensuring it wont tip over if you bump them.

I find being a busy mum, you want something that's going to last, I wouldn't recommend this for chip free. I have tried all sorts the glitters, pastels, scented. I really liked the grape scented the most. I would only use this for an occasion, like a night out or a day at the races and remove it the day after, because I do like the colours there always on trend

This is probably one of my favourite nail polishes, due to two things: colour & smell. This Passionfruit Revlon polish has a fruity smell, so it is almost a pleasure to put on, The colour is bright & happy. Two coats were enough to get a solid colour over the nail. Secure with a top coat.

Lasts as well as any other polish - nothing exceptional here, but the range of colours with Revlon is great.

I have the colour in the picture and I am planning on painting my nails with it tonight with a mint colour. very good nail polishes over the whole brand. also have a red

I have had a hard time with this nail polish. i love the different coloures and shades but it never applies well for me. I always get a streaky, uneven finish and have had discolouring of the nail polish too after a few days.

I have a couple of Revlon classic nail polishes, and absolutely adore the Raven Red colour. I find that you will require a couple more coats (3-4) than the usual 2-3 to get the correct colour, but that is fine with me. However, the thinness of the nailpolish has it's pros and cons. I have never had to use a nailpolish thinner on the bottle, which I have had to do with many other of my polishes. The brush is easy to handle, not too fat and not too thin, which makes it simple to have a tidy finish. I find that it lasts for a long time, is quite chip resistant, especially with a top coat. Only problem is, my nails outgrow the polish, so my ends end up looking unpolished. But I think the polish definitely delivers!

However, in comparison to other polishes on the market, it does not deliver a particularly stand-out 'shine', the shine is sort of dull unless you use a particularly shiny top coat.

Besides OPI, this is probably the only other nail polish brand I own a large quantity of. Considering it is a fair bit cheaper than OPI, it definitely doesn't skimp on the quality.

The colour range is great and you have a large selection to choose from, not as big as OPI but still decent. Due to the shape of the brush, I find these are easy to apply and that they're very long lasting. They don't chip easily and do dry quite quickly depending on how many coats you apply.

As with any other polishes, there will be some colours that apply more opaque than others - so definitely try a few. The pastel colours with glitter in them are quite sheer, so do require a white underneath them to look more vibrant/opaque.
