Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Review

I love the colours and the shine of this new Revlon range. Don't really like the names though. I've bought nail polishes in the fast simply because I really liked the name. I don't think it lasts as long as it claims though. Drying time is pretty fast and very easy to apply, however nails started chipping faster than the usual Revlon nail polish range. However, I didn't use the special top coat with it but this was simply because I wanted to compare with the other Revlon nail lacquers that I have used before. The opacity is amazing, will purchase again if I spot a color that I haven't got (especially if it has a cool name!)

I got the purple one and was slightly disappointed that once applied it had tiny specks of blue glitter that I could not see when just looking at the bottle. It lasted longer than normal polish would for me, but not as long as I would have expected it too. It started to wear down at the tips from being rubbed against stuff and then kinda started to peel off. I got maybe 3-4 days of good quality wear before it started to deteriorate.

so this lasts longer than regular nail polish, but no where near as long as if you get shellac done at a salon, a week is the most you will get out of this. It definitely lasts better on toes than fingers. Nice colour range. i will use this over my other nail polish but probably won't be buying any more

I love this product. I like to use gel polish and this is one in my collection. Good choice of colours for any seasons. I find it lasts about a week or just over for me. A great product for those who want a quick gel solution without the UV light.

I'm usually a china glaze chick, but the gel envy colours caught my eye in the chemist, and the idea of gel type longer lasting polish made me curious but quite low on my list of wants in a polish as I recolor my nails frequently. I ended up buying the shade showtime along with the top coat. The advertising gives the impression that you need the top coat to go with the nail polish as a 2 step system, but the reality is that while it gives it strength and shine you can wear the nail polish without it. I really don't think its particularly long lasting although it does last longer than standard polish. My actual love about the polish is how vivid and shiny the colours are.. I own 3 colours in this range. The showtime is purple with tiny blue glitter in it, All In which is a lighter peacock metallic colour and Blackjack which is black.

I'll continue to buy them when I see them on special, but I don't think that they are worth the RRP of $20 each. The 3 colours plus the top coat I own were purchased from unichem on a buy one, get one free special. In saying that, they have some truly gorgeous colours and I'd probably repurchase Showtime at full price as its my fav colour.

I'm a total nail polish freak and tried them all. And Revlon Envy Gel nail polishes are my new obsession. The bottle says it lasts chip free for 14 days which sounded like a dream come true. So I went and bought a couple of colours to try.

It says to let them dry in natural UV light so I applied during the day first. It was smooth to put on and it dried quite quickly. The colours are true and covering even with one coat. Top coat applied and off I went to inspect my nails everyday. I work in an office and have to type a lot, at home I cook and clean. And my verdict - i lasted and lasted chip free for 7 days. Not 14 days as promised but 7 days are pretty amazing if you ask me.

They were also easy to remove with normal nail polish remover.

Next I applied it in the evening with no natural UV light around. The only difference I noticed was that it took a little longer to dry but that's the only difference for me. All colours worked really well - if dark or light.

Money well spend for any obsessed nail polish user like me!

I have wanted to try the Revlon Gel Envy nail polish ever since it came out and lucky enough I saw them on sale just a few days ago. I bought two of them, the diamond top coat and a white called Sure Thing. The white comes out exactly how it looks in the bottle which is a really bright white and because it is quite thick but still a nice consistency I only had to apply one coat to my nails to make them look good. The brush on the white nail polish is very big making it quick and easy to apply to the nail however it does make it a little harder to create nice edges and not get too much on the skin around your nail. The diamond top coat's brush is two brushes put side by side, this makes it quicker to apply. The bottles look rather professional as if they could be in a salon. My nails started to chip not long after I applied the nail polish but to be fair I was doing things that caused them to chip, not all of them are chipped though and after a few days are still decent looking, a lot better than some other nail polishes I've tried. I wonder if I applied two coats of the white next time it might make it last longer until it chips.

I always have my nails painted but they are always chipping after a few days. I have tried gels in the past and loved it. After trying this gel polish I found that it lasted a long time. It was easy to apply and quick to dry. Definitely going to buy more colours.

I got a whole bunch of makeup for xmas this year including four of these amazing polishes. I got lady luck, beginner luck, pocket aces as well as the diamond top coat. I havent seen these in shops like my farmers but ive heard all the praise. So i was super excited when i ripped up the wrapping papwr and found these. Picked a sunny spot two days ago to try out lady luck. The application was so smooth and there was no streaks at all. Two coats gave a really vivid color. When that droed, I applied two coats of diamond top coat becauses I wanted it to be extra durable amd glossy looking. Im loving the finish and it looks really professional, the shine is amazing and I think its perfect for the festive season. Havent had any chips or scratches yet but looking at ny fingers now i think my left index finger got a tiny dent, probably from me touching it to see if its dried yet(it wasnt). Im reallyimpressed as i use my hands alot doing house work, crafting and playing the piano which usually ruins my nails pretty fast.
