Revlon nail enamels

For the price they chip pretty fast still. No where near as good quality as orly or opi in my experience, especially at the price. Would personally compare the quality to maybe fractionally better than Avon nail enamels.

Tips: Dont waste your money, go Orly or Opi unless its a freebee :)

5 hours later!

Am I the only one who doesn't like Revlon nail polishes? I find they take FOREVER to dry, the consistency is very thin (almost watery) & you need several coats to create an opaque coverage.

I've tried many different shades & I've had the same issues every time. It's frustrating because I love the colour selection!

Disappointed :(

Apart from the gorgeous colours that these come in, I have nothing else nice to say about them! They chip within a day of applying them, are so watery and thin that I feel like I need a million coats to make them opaque, and then if I add more coats they chip even worse! No matter how much I'm tempted by the colours and price I'm never happy after buying one :( absolutely no comparison to other brands like OPI, Essie or Sally Hansen unfortunately.

Too runny and never dries.

I have this polish in the shades Lilac Pastelle, Sheer Petal and Hot Cocoa. Both Lilac Pastelle and Sheer Petal are absolutely stunning, which is probably the only pro for me. I was really disappointed when I opened these because the formula is incredibly runny and when applied to the nail, it runs off the nail and drips everywhere. I've also been unable to get this polish to dry at all, even when doing one thin coat, it stays wet and sticky all day. I still have been unable to use Sheer Petal but after about 6 months Lilac Pastelle thickened up and now it is finally usable. I really like Revlon as I brand so I am hoping that my polishes were just duds.The saving grace is the shade Hot Cocoa. It's about 6 or 7 years old, and it's still going strong, also the formula is perfect; it isn't thick and gloopy and it isn't too runny. It dries beautifully and is a gorgeous chocolate shade, which makes me wonder if Revlon have drastically changed their product formula's as my new Revlon polishes are awful.

Tips: Open it up, seal it and leave it for a few months to thicken up, as the formula is quite runny.

Revlon Nail Enamel

I’m always attracted to the variety of colours Revlon has. However, I don’t find them easy to apply and the quality always disappoint.

The brush is too skinny to cover my nails quickly and the colours don’t last long either. I have tried wearing a variety of colours from the range with and without base coat and top coat, to see if I could extend the wear. Mine always chipped within 2-3 days. Other brands last much longer.

The only reason I buy them every few years is because they do have a nice range of trendy colours.

Revlon Nail Enamel

I have had a hard time with this nail polish. i love the different coloures and shades but it never applies well for me. I always get a streaky, uneven finish and have had discolouring of the nail polish too after a few days.

Disappointed

I have a few of these nail polishes in varying shades. While the polish applies really beautifully and there is a wide selection of shades available, this is not one of my favourites. The brush is quite short which once you're used to it, actually works really well. The problem I have is that the polish always ends up streaky. With the darker shades 2 coats usually evens it out, but with the lighter shades I have applied 3 coats and still have streaks.

Even with applying a top coat the polish still ends up chipping, some times as soon as the next day.

Tips: I'll keep my lighter shades for base coats for nail art.

Revlon Nail Enamel

Chip resistant you say?

I say very easily chipped.

I have a few bottles of Revlon Nail Polish.....and they look great for one day..then look awful.

Chips every where :(

I have been reapplying daily, which sucks cause it says this doesn't happen.

But it does!

I love to wear Polish but...don't love the chipping. It makes me NOT want to wear Polish.

However the pigment of colour is great and the ease of application is also great.

The colour range is good, could be a bit better with more sparkles , maybe a matte too...

I am really looking forward to trying their Gel Envy Range :)

Revlon Basic Nail Enamel Not Chip Resistant

I was gifted a light pink color sometime back in a random act of kindness along with some other polishes from so other brands. I did like the color as it wasn't a bright color, which turned out to be a good thing. Despite the claims this polish only lasted about 2 days before the chips start looking obvious. Because of that I didn't bother to buy more colors from this brand and range. Eventually it went bad and I had to toss it. Now I should mention I didn't own a Revlon base and top coat as I don't buy my nail treatments and base coats to match the exact brand of nail polish I use but then I have polishes from multiple brands and I'll use the same base and top coat on them regardless. I do wash dishes, do cooking and cleaning so it's possible that it didn't stay on me for very long because of the housework but then most nail polishes don't stay long on me either.

Nice range of colours but doesn't stay on

I found that this nail polish chipped very quickly. It went on really well and had a nice brush but it did not last 24hours before chipping for me. I used a base coat, but didnt add a top coat.
