Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Polish Review and Swatches

The latest craze to hit Australia for nails is Gel Polish but without the use of a light to set it.

Revlon have had their Colorstay range with a gel like shine for a long time, but 2 or 3 months ago they released a new range to replace this.

Welcome Colorstay Gel Envy Polish

The formula is a two step process a colour with a built in base coat and then a separate top coat which adds a diamond like shine and strength to your nails. The top coat is a must without it the colour doesn't last as long and doesn't have the shine the top coat provides.

I have six shades from the 30 available so far and still deciding if I want more (I have a lot of nail polishes)

I love the brush, it's double barrel so with one application it can cover your whole nail. Colour wise I only needed 2 light coats to get the desired colour that is true on the bottle.

A closer look at the colour:

Wild Card

This is the perfect blue. Cobalt blue. Very popular shade and has sold out a few times in store.

All In

Is a dark blue but has a shimmer to it. In the light you will see purple, deep blue and a black hint through it

Full House

My favourite colour LOVE this shade!!! Perfect shade for Spring and Summer. The only thing is I did find this colour to stain my nails.

Winning Streak

WOW what a pretty lavender/ lilac shade. Only need 2 coats to achieve this shade. I think this is perfect for Spring

Casino Lights

When I first saw this shade I loved it, hadn't seen this shade of yellow, but because I am pale I dont like it as much on against my skin. Maybe if I am tanned it would look OK

Hot Hand

Pretty Pink. I personally don't like pink nail polish. I generally wear deep cooler tones but I loved this shade of pink. I thought of summer and would look pretty on my toes (I wear any shade on my toes) and it has hint of gold shimmer through it

This polish  is so easy to remove. You just need a normal nail polish. One with acetone does work better. 

For someone like me who works  in retail and with stock everyday finding a nail polish that would last a week without chipping and ruining my nails was really hard. Until this range. I can get 2 weeks out of my nails now before they start to look chipped and ugly.

So if you want to save some money from get shellac done atthe salon give Revlon Gel Envy a try.

Until next time xox
