Revlon Nail Enamel Review

I find this stays on way longer than my opi nail polishes. Its long lasting and the colours are so nice!

I bought this on sale from Arthur Barnett here in Dunedin as they often have beauty sales and I was able to pick it up for less than $10. The shade is a beautiful pale pastel purple which is perfect for me as in Summer I wear nearly all pastels.

I love the bottle, it looks like the Barbie nail polish bottles from when I was a kid with the angled bottom and the black lid. The brush is a standard round one but quite skinny. It also flattens out nicely on the nail when you are using it.

Unfortunately due to the light colour of the polish it does take a good 3 coats to get this opaque. I'm OK with that though because the layers do dry quite quickly. Also once dry this polish lasts me around 4 to 5 days.

Writing this I'm not sure why I haven't bought more of these!

I always like using revlon nailpolishes. They are always a nice even consistency, smooth application and so many nice colours.

I have a Revlon Nail Enamel in a really nice red colour which was given to me as a gift.

I have used it both on natural nails and acrylics. The nailpolish itself is really good, its smooth, the brush is easy to apply and gives good coverage.

I have had this for many years and it still is of best quality and hasnt become clumpy however there is one feature which sometimes stops me using it. It stains your fingers.

Whenever I try to take this off it stains all around my fingers/nails and wont come off no matter what, it looks ugly and stays there for a day or so. As I have a dark red its really obvious and probably doesnt show up as much on lighter colours on your fingers.

I've been collecting a whole lot of these lately, I really love the formula, it's a lot thinner than most polishes which I quite like and it dries very quickly. I find that it lasts around 3 days, which I don't mind as I like to change my nail colour regularly. It takes about 2 or 3 coats for an opaque coverage depending on the colour, some are even fine with just 1.

One of my favourite nail polishes! Great vibrant colours, and perfectly shaped brush that distributes polish evenly. The polish itself is a nice consistency, thin enough to apply smoothly but the colours are so vibrant you only need 2 coats! It takes a while to dry but it’s worth it, plus if you use a quick dry top coat it doesn’t matter

I have this in a dusky rose shade that doesn't look so great in the bottle, but once applied it is gorgeous. Many polishes look like they'd be lovely on but when you apply them there's something lacking - with the Revlon enamel I didn't have that trouble. It's also quite long wearing :)

I can't for the life of me remember how I obtained this color, but I'm glad it's in my arsenal now. I have the color 'Plum Seduction' 917. It is a gorgeous hot pink, only slightly darker. I also don't remember seeing any plums this color.

The brush is one of the old school ones, a triangle shape but a circle. I prefer the flat brushes, but this one does the job well enough. For an opaque color you need more than two coats, and thankfully, the shade you see in the bottle is the shade that gets painted onto your nail! The formula is slightly runnier than your average nail polish, but that's probably a good thing in the long run as it won't get clumpy and dry out as quick.

I applied it last Tuesday afternoon, so it has been a week on my nail (I only painted one. In hindsight I should've done a hand). The chipping was minimal and by Friday or Saturday it chipped down the edge of my nails and it has only faded at the top. This was without a base and top coat. I like this polish. Depending on the price, if I found it again, I might just be tempted to buy more shades!

These can be picked up quite cheap on special, and I love how long they last and how quick they dry. This brand tends to be a bit thinner than my OPI I find, so I often do several coats to help prevent chipping.

I have a couple colours from Revlon and I love them, the only problem is how thin I find it and that it can chip really easily, as well as sometimes it just flakes off, even with a top coat. But it paints on very smooth and in the end gives great colours.
