Revlon Nail Enamel Review

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 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.

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.

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 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.

I own quite a lot of different colours of Revlon nail enamel, and am very pleased with how my nails have turned out. I have noticed it is quite thin after applying the first coat, so for the best results I apply another once the first has dried. I love the shade of red I own, I think its 'Revlon Red'. I'm a sucker for a lovely shade of red. I have found they are also well priced, and can usually be found on sale. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

My biggest issue with a lot of polishes is that they take too long to dry and have this goopy,gluey consistency. I'm a busy person who hasn't got all day to be watching polish dry- so I was pleasently suprised when I first tried this polish. It glided on with a smooth,liquid consistency and dried within about 20-30 seconds. I can't say much for the staying power as I tend to use my hands a lot so polish always chips like mad for me, but touch-ups were quick and easy to do so really I have no complaints. Great value and a quality product for a non bank-breaking price.

I have quite a few shades of Revlon nail enamel, and the colours are all gorgeous. Theres no streaking when you apply them. The slim line brush and bristles allow a good application, and drying time is fairly quick. Im always quite tough on my hands, so most of my polishes chip quite easily, but this brand seems to stay on just a little longer. The bottles are pretty and the wider bottom is good for ensuring it wont tip over if you bump them.

I can't for the life of me remember how I obtained this color, but I'm glad it's in my arsenal now. I have the color 'Plum Seduction' 917. It is a gorgeous hot pink, only slightly darker. I also don't remember seeing any plums this color.

The brush is one of the old school ones, a triangle shape but a circle. I prefer the flat brushes, but this one does the job well enough. For an opaque color you need more than two coats, and thankfully, the shade you see in the bottle is the shade that gets painted onto your nail! The formula is slightly runnier than your average nail polish, but that's probably a good thing in the long run as it won't get clumpy and dry out as quick.

I applied it last Tuesday afternoon, so it has been a week on my nail (I only painted one. In hindsight I should've done a hand). The chipping was minimal and by Friday or Saturday it chipped down the edge of my nails and it has only faded at the top. This was without a base and top coat. I like this polish. Depending on the price, if I found it again, I might just be tempted to buy more shades!

I've used more of these over the years, but reviewing based on the ones currently in my possession.

185 Sweet Tart - this is a cheerful candy pink.

370 Not So Blueberry - this is one of their scented polishes, and an amazing cornflower blue/purple with a bit of subtle silver sparkle - probably my current fave polish in my collection.

940 Facets of Fuschia - Metallic fuschia glitter flakes in an opaque black base

Brilliant Bordeaux - small purple glitter strands and larger holographic glitter strands in an opaque black base.

Night Spell - fine silver glitter in a thicker black base

Revlon polishes come in a range of shades and styles, which they are constantly adding to. Price ranges vary wildly depending on where you buy them from, and whether what you're buying is a classic, a seasonal trend or a discontinued colour.

Application varies slightly - I find the brushes for these polishes (which come in circular glass bottles that are wider at the base, and feature a black cap with a gold band) are on the thinner side, and that can make it a little harder to get a good stroke happening. With the block colours, two coats are necessary but with the glitters it's more like 3 (apart from Night Spell, because the base colour is thicker) - you do have to experiment to get the look you're after.

I find that Revlon polishes do smell intensely of the sharp nail polish scent - apart from the scented version, which is a curiously pleasant berry fragance.

Longevity is decent, especially with a good quality top coat on top. Interestingly I've never used a Revlon Top Coat - would be interested to see how it compares.

These polishes often get noticed when I wear them - but I do choose more out there shades than some!

The block colours come off easily, but the glitter is hard work, and I tend not to wear it often because of that - though I adore it when I do wear it.

Definitely will buy again (I never buy them full price though) and have definitely recommended them to others before.

Good, reliable, consistently high quality polishes from a trustworthy brand
