I snapped this vibrant blue up at Postie as it was on sale and I thought it was an interesting colour. The first thing I noticed about this polish was the smell! It smells like rotten eggs so I thought it had gone off (if that's possible) but after Googling it, I found that it seems to be a smell particular to this colour for whatever (off-putting) reason. Along with the horrible smell, the polish itself is extremely runny and thin (but it does dry quickly as advertised). It needs at least two coats to have it looking good, and a top coat is a must if you want it to last a week or more. I didn't use a base coat with this one and surprisingly it didn't stain my nails. All in all, I've continued to use this colour because I like it but the actual formula of the polish is really weird and not too pleasant to use as the smell is nearly overpowering and does tend to linger.

Tips: Needs a top coat to keep it looking good and chip-free.
I have more Revlon nail enamels than any other brand occasionally picking them up for around $6- $10 from clearance bins in which case is very affordable for the quality. Not my favorite but they are decent, reliable, always available & the range of colors is huge.
The brush & consistency of the lacquer make application easy breezy and generally dries relatively quickly, the top speed range is a preference for me as it dries in about 1 minute. I usually get 2 days wear out of it, 3 if i'm careful.
It doesn't dry up fast, and the colour pay off to some colours are not that great. Also, it seems that every time I put 2 layers of it, it doesn't seems to dry up at all.
I have a couple colours from Revlon and I love them, the only problem is how thin I find it and that it can chip really easily, as well as sometimes it just flakes off, even with a top coat. But it paints on very smooth and in the end gives great colours.
I only have one bottle of Revlon Nail enamel in Lilac Mist. I have this for over 2 years now and this is absolutely my favorite color. The consistency is thick and still the same after 2 years which is pretty good result and keeps up to the brand name. As the color I have is in Silver, I have to apply two coats to make it look even and perfect. It lasts a week if applied with a topcoat. The price is reasonable as well. I am definitely planning on buying more Revlon nail enamels.
Tips: Always apply basecoat to protect your nails from staining and top it up with a topcoat for long lasting nails.
I always like using revlon nailpolishes. They are always a nice even consistency, smooth application and so many nice colours.
Tips: I always get compliments when i wear the colour 'Cloud' a really pale blue.
I use a lot of Revlon nail polish. I like the formula, it applies smoothly and you get a good opaque finish with two coats. There is a good range of colours and you can often pick it up online at a good price. It lasts reasonably well without chipping.
Tips: I usually use a good 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.
I think the quality of Revlon nail polishes is amazing for their price.I think they are all really easy to apply and good at self-leveling but chip more easily than OPI and the colours are usually not as got-to-have beautiful. I use Revlon for any 'classic' colours generally. Looking forward to trying the parfumerie range.
I have a few polishes from Revlon. They usually cost somewhere between $6-$10. And that's sale prices. Which to me is expensive. It dries pretty quick which is great. But chips THAT DAY without wearing a top coat. I've bought polish for $3/$4 and it lasts nearly a week without chipping and top coating. I have a gold Revlon polish and it is very pigmented and love how vibrant it is. I have indents on my thumb nails and when I apply this colour they practically disappear! LOVE that. My partner has quite a sensitive nose especially when it comes to nail polish. But Revlon has a more "tolerable" smell he reckons. (With the few colours I have that is). Some of the darker colours from Revlon are quite putrid. Turn off. Great brush and the liquid is easy to apply. Comes off real easily too with polish remover. Overall good polishes.
Tips: Definitely need to use a top coat.
