Good, but not Great.

I really liked this polish - a good buy. I got two shades, one was a Candy Floss colour, a borderline white pink, and a lovely dark pink/almost red. The polish dried really quickly, so it's great if you're in a hurry. Another plus was that the Candy Floss polish actually smelled like Candy Floss when I applied it - which I thought was really cute. It was a very thin nail polish, which I found to be a downside since I had to apply about four coats to get an opaque, flawless finish. It's not the best polish out there, I will admit. However, it has more pros to it than cons, so if you're looking for affordable Chanel dupes, this range is where you should look.

Tips: Use a top coat - this polish cracks and chips quite a bit. Also, do at least 2 coats of this - the polish is quite thin.

Cheap and cheerful

This is a good cheap nail polish if you don't want to spend too much money. It's easy to apply and glides on easily.

Great with top coat.

I love this nail polish and I think the colour range is right up my alley, very easy to apply. I do think you definitely need to put on a base coat and top coat on however. If you don't i do find it chips fairly easily. I think this stuff is great if you have time to do those other coats or if you are in a hurry and just need a quick swipe of colour that doesn't need to last too long.

Average nail polish

I do love the diversity of the colour range but I dont find the nail polish to be long lasting and durable. I find it chip quite quickly if I dont use a top coat.

I've used better nail polishes that are long lasting without the help of a top coat.

Always use a Top Coat :)

I've been through a selection of Revlon nail polishes over the years. Like any brand of polish, the consistency and the wearability will vary considerably, but they are easy to apply and take off. My bottle of Blackberry has kept really well, despite purchasing it too long ago!

Tips: Use a good base and top coat to increase the length of time that the polish will stay on for!

They make a pretty good matte top coat

If you want an affordable matte top coat, then Revlon is the go to. You can put it over any colour and make it matte which is way more affordable than buying a bunch of matte nail polishes. It lasts quite a long time, and does not chip at all or wear off very quickly. The only downfall is the time it takes their nail polishes to dry. I own three Revlon nail polishes, and compared to other nail polishes I own, it takes longer for them to dry.

Umm

As it is an enamel and not a polish, it is a bit more difficult to work with.

The bottle is nice and classy, with a nice long handle for the brush making it easy to work with. The brush is nice and thin as well which makes it easy to guide where the polish goes, but where I normally need 3 strokes to cover my nail, I need about 5 to cover my nail with this.

Now as it is an enamel, it is more runnier, so I find that it drips from the brush really easily, and when you try to wipe the excess off, there is hardly any left on the brush to coat your nails.

I also find that I need a good 3-5 coats of this polish for it to be really opaque.

And it doesn't last very long, while it doesn't chip, it starts to fade from the nail tip almost as soon as it's dry.

It also takes a LONG time to dry. So long that when you try putting on a second coat, it smudges the first, even when I've waited 5 minutes.

Average

It's slightly translucent and not as opaque as I'd hoped. I needed three layers before the colour looked even. Chipped quite easily even though I had top coat over it but that might be because I play piano.

Have been using for years

I have used revlon nail polishes for years. I remember my first, it was a lovely cherry red colour, gorgeous! Anyway right now is not a time to go down memory lane!

These polishes do require a few coats to get the rich colour in the bottle, but it is worth it! It applies evenly and cleanly with not a brush stroke in sight, I dont know about you but brush strokes are my pet peeve when it comes to nail polish!

I find I can get two days without chipping with no base or top coat, I can get about 5 days with a top coat which is usually about the time a nail colour starts to bore me and gets changed

I like the brush and the formula is a little runny, but they do last a long time before getting gluggy and unusable,BONUS!!

Is this the best nail polish out there? No, it is not Is this the worst nail polish out there? No, it is not

Personally I like them, and will continue to use them as I have for years

decent quality for great price

these nail polishes are very opaque and lasts for quite a long time without chipping, the brush also makes them easy to apply. for the price I think they are pretty good value for money as they are decent quality and come in many different shades.

Tips: definitely use a base polish especially for darker/more pigmented colours, as these can stain your nails.
