Revlon Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat Review

I purchased this top coat along with my other Revlon Gel Envy polishes. I like the look of the bottle but since it isn't clear its difficult to see how much is left - however so far this has lasted me ages!

I like the size of the brush and normally only one stroke is needed. The downside is it has a super strong smell that really makes me feel a little sick.

It defiantly helps bring life to the colour of nail polishes and also adds to the strength of the gel envy colour polishes, however you can use this top coat with any nail polish for added strength and shine. I find it dries in good time aswell.

I would defiantly repurchase this top coat.

I was quite impressed with this product, really shiny and quite strong, lasted more than other top coats have held out ! Works with most nail polishes for longer wear but definitely more effective with the Gel Base colour !

I use this with my Gel Envy colours, and other brand Gel colours and regular polishes alike.

Like most brands, I find this polish lasts well for up to a week (sometimes I will do a refresher colour and top coat towards the end of the week to prolong the need for a manicure), but only when I have acrylic nails. I find this lasts 1-2 days only on natural nails (although I am very hard on my nails in my job).

Overall, it’s a good product, and convenient because it doesn’t need a UV or LED cure to give you a Gel look.

I noticed this at my mums house and had to give it a go, I loved the idea of a gel top coat that would make my normal nail polish last alot longer.

I was disapointed though, Agter 2 days half my normal nail polish was already chiped off and i had to remove it completly and start again. My normal nail polih with no top coats normally lasts 2days so i was a little bummed that it didnt last any longer.

When applying the gel coat it slides on really easy, it feels a little thick but it still glides on realy nicley which I love about it. But since it doesnt last long i dont think i would bother useing it again.

Farmers had a sale on and I really wanted to get this Revlon Polish set . I thought about it for a day then went back to purchase this set. This pack has five colours in it. This Top Coat was in there too and that pretty much sealed the deal for me to try this out. I don't really buy Top Coats to be honest because I never really thought about it much until being on Beauty Review lots.

This clear coat comes in a black and white bottle with the Revlon labelling on it. I like how this bottle is designed . This brush has full thick bristles. The consistency of this polish is quite medium in thickness. This polish is clear and shinny. I did notice a normal chemical smell that most polishes have.

When I apply this polish to my nails it glides on perfectly. I like how shinny it makes my nails look. I put on about two coats of this polish to make my nails shiny.

My results from using this polish is that it made my nail polish underneath last me for about a week. I used all Revlon's gel nail polishes when I tried this. The shine from this top coat didn't last me any longer than two days max. But it did help my nails last.

I was given this along with a few polishes for christmas and was so excited to try my first gel nail polish. I never knew that Revlon did gel polish until I got this. I am sure that Revlon could have thought of a better design for their bottle though! It doesn't stand out from the crowd and in all honestly it I saw this in a shop I would walk past it without a second look back. Boring!!

Beyond the bottle I come across the brush and am grateful that the brush has more quality than the bottle itself. It fans out the entire width of my nails and makes sure I get even coverage and don't miss any spots. Usually I an get away with just one swipe but make it two coats to set that hearty wearing as firmly as I can. The smell is the normal smell of any other polish but with a lil bit more potency.

Two weeks down the line, five milkings, four fence shifts, and countless hours of being a mum and house wife and the nail polish is still standing strong! I am so impressed with its stay power. If course it has its scratches and is worn a tiny bit but after such jobs that is very impressive. I did find after minutes of rubbing it off with polish remover my nails were left brittle and damaged. One nail broke mere minutes afterwards and they were chipping. It was like the nail polish was holding them together and when it was removed so was the goodness in my nails. So disappointing after the good run I had with it.

I was rather disappointed in this top coat. With it being a gel formula I was really expecting this to slow down the chipping of my polish but this just wasnt the case. Within 2 days I had started to show chipping and 4 days into my wear it had chipped to the point where I needed to remove my polish. I will say that the application is super easy it has 2 brushes on the end of the wand & the formula is quite thick so glides over the nail easily. The end result is a beautiful shine, its just a shame it did not last very long. I definitely wont be purchasing this again as I feel the price is just too high when more inexpensive brands do just as good a job.

I was gifted this top coat and a colour that goes with it for my Birthday and I was so excited to try it! I had heard great things about this top coat and that it was just like gel polish. I was a bit disappointed when I used it because after about 2 or three days it was chipping sooooo much, my nail polish and normal topcoat never chip and it's something I've never had a problem with until I used this product. BUT I've had a friend use it aswell and she swears by it. She also uses normal nail polish as the colour and not the colours that are specifically meant to go with the top coat and apparently it works fine. So I'm not sure about this one! Personally I don't like it but it works for some people! :)
