Diamond on your tips

The colours are beautiful and I’m the nail polish diva and this colour stays longer and you wouldn’t need to use any base colour before. It enhances more only when you use the top diamond coat but you can also wear it without the top coat. It is not as strong as the gel polishes from salon but much better than standard nail colours. It feel thick on nails. It is not difficult to remove it when changing colour unlike the salon one.

Tips: Use the nail oil after removing it so that the nail remain strong and smooth.

Color stay review

I’ve tried a lot of products to see how long they can last and this has a good 5 day wear that still looks pretty good!

Good base coat & colours

Use the base coat and am generally pleased with the result. Even when I have used a dark colour my nails have not stained. Comes with a curved brush which I like as it applies nicely along my cuticles. Base coat does have a creamy/milky tint so sets a good foundation before colour is applied. In this range I also use multiple colours. Again they have the curve brush which makes for easy application. When applied evenly and dried between coats this polish has a nice finish.

Tips: Make sure you dry fully between coats. Don't apply too thickly.

Not Bad

I didn't mind this nail polish, it does last longer than standard nail polish which on me is about a day (lol). But the colors are lacking sparkly holo. Aside from that, I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a better than standard nail polish.

Beautiful- Not really gel

I was excited to try this product as I am a massive fan on shellac/gel nails however am not a fan of the price. I bought a mauvey purple shade and the diamond top coat from farmers, I loved it so much I bought two more! I love these polishes for there pigmentation, they're really bright, shiny and only take one coat for an opaque cover. They did last longer on my nails than any other polish I've tried. The applicator brush is a wide double haired brush that might be a little difficult if you have skinny nails. My only qualm is that I wouldn't class them as 'gel', they're just a really opaque, thick coat.

Tips: Buff your nails beforehand as that makes the nailpolish look better and last longer x

Amazing shine!

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!)

Tips: A little goes a long way with these nail polishes- aim for thin coats rather than a thick coat as it can all pool near the cuticles and pop due to the gel-ish consistency

Amazing for a couple of days...

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.

good product

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

It's good, just not great

I have a love hate relationship with normal nail polish. I love it for the girly look. I hate that the same day I out it on, it chips right off!!

I have been using the Sally Hanson Miracle gel polishes and love them. I was told about the Revlon ones and was excited to use these.

The initial cost I'm not impressed with at all. You pay $20 for the colour and another $20 for the top coat. I was willing to give it a go as Revlon have way more colours.

Anyway.. Revlon. I brought the Showtime colour and top coat. The colour is lovely. Sparkly purple. The lid bit is long so easy to hold. The brush is slightly flat compared to a normal brush.

The polish is kinda gluggy. To apply it you need to use a lot of brushes on each nail. I thought it must just be the first coat that would be hard to apply. Second coat it was worse! Now friends have told me to apply a drop of nail polish remover to thin it down. Does this change how the gel polish works?

I put the top coat on and wait. It drys, not matt but not shiny and gorgeous like SH.

This chips in 2 days. So for me a fail. I used this while recovering from surgery and not doing a lot. So I can't say it's from having busy hands.

So the score for me, yes I'll probably use again, just to use it up or I'll pass it onto someone else. I don't believe it does what It says it would do, BUT it does stay on longer than normal polish

Note so Gel like

I was thinking from the hype that Gel Envy would be amazing. I like the vibrant shades, but it doesn't have any spectacular lasting power, and it chips very easily, three days was the longest I went without chips, and that was with reapplying the top coat on my second day of wear. Alright to put on, the drying time is not quick, but it does have a nice glossy almost wet look finish.

Tips: Be prepared for a long drying time! A quick coat of the top coat on day two helps prevent chips.
