Revlon colorstay gel envy longwear nail enamel, beginner s luck

I don't get my nails done at a salon but do like them to look nice, so I try to keep them looked after (when time permits!) I like to file my nails so they are one length and I like to apply a nice colour. I usually opt for lighter colours for during the week and darker colours in the weekends. So, having said all that, I also like varnishes that last long on the nail. My hands are often in water due to housework and cooking, so I prefer a varnish that has a long lasting finish. The Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy in 530, Double Down is a nice shimmery golden hue, which goes on well. The consistency of the nail polish is smooth and has a lovely shimmery sparkle, like a nice bronzer. As my skin colour is olive brown, it matches well with my skin tone. That's not to say it won't compliment lighter skin tones, I am just saying how it looks when paired against my colouring. It gives off a nice summery vibe. The polish is solid and vibrant enough that you can get away with applying one coat only, as I have done before. Whilst not sure if it is marketed as quick dry, the nail polish does dry quite quickly, which is ideal for those like myself that want their hands to look nice but don't have much time to muck about with top coats, etc. I simply apply a coat or two of Double Down, wait a couple of minutes and then I'm good to go! I'd also like to mention that the polish doesn't streak, which is a big plus, as I don't like the look that some nail polishes give when they are too thick and streak. This polish looks smooth, even, and shimmery. Big ticks from me!

Been buying this particular color for awhile now. I use more than one coat to achieve the shade that's right for me. The great thing about this is you can use as much or as little as you want...it always looks great. Revlon is a long standing brand you can depend on to get a great product at an equally great price. Buy this...give yourself a happy day.
