I really didn't like these nail polishes. I was super hyped to try them, but they felt just like regular nail polish and chipped the following day.
I found them no longer wearing than regular polish, despite following the directions for use precisely. Wouldn't purchase them again and am disappointed with how much I paid for them given they're not better than normal nail polish.
These Revlon Gels came out o special so I thought I would give them a try. With clean and dry nails I set to. You dont need a base coat as it is in the colour. I did 2 colour coats which I found went on easily and smoothly. I let it dry for about 20 mins between coats and then applied the top coat. The result was a "salon" look finish. I was very happy with the result. Now the test of time. I work full time in a retail environment so I have hard working hands. I found the gel llasted abut 1 week which is better than an enamel . I am yet to find a gel that can go the distance of 2 weeks but with this Revlon gel, I was reasonably happy. I would use it again.
Tips: You can apply another top coat a few days later to freshen up the shine.
