Classic Nail Enamel Reviews

Streaky on my nails.

I purchased a couple of light neutral shades on a whim when they were on sale. The shades I chose were Sheer Petal and another neutral grey/cream shade called Elegant. For some reason, these polishes always applied really streaky on my nails, no matter how much I buffed/prepped them and even after applying 3 coats. The formula also appeared a little thin. I’m not sure if that is common with these lighter shades as the pigment is naturally lighter which might affect the consistency but these polishes just didn’t take to my nails! This was a shame as the shades looked nice and I’m a fan of Revlon’s other Gel Envy range of polishes.

The classic range of revlon nail polishes come in large range of beautiful colours to choose from. I have recently been doing my own nails to avoid going out and spending money. I find that I get a decent amount of wear before chipping off if I use a base and top coat.

Only downfall is that I personally think the brushes are too thing and long. They need to be thicker so the polish spreads more easily and even. Other then that its overall a good nail polish.

I am a huge fan of Revlon nail polish. I have been using them for some time now and it never disappoints me. Its easy to apply and great for your nails. I always feel great when i paint my nails with Revlon colours. It is of a high quality. Love this colour its my new favourite.

The revlon nail polish is always a good choice if you want to use the same colour for a long period of time. I bought sheer pink, and I have continuously repurchased the same colour because it is just so beautiful! It makes your nails look very classy and dainty, enhancing femininity. The shine last for about a week but a top coat is good to prolong the effect.

This nail polish is absolutely beautiful. It glides on super smoothly and offers such a flawless finish. The colour looks really pretty on the skin and is not thick or clumpy or hard to work with. It does require some layering as it is quite thin, but I typically like that as it layers nicely and smoothly rather than looking thick and patchy. This nail polish works wonders and I'd definitely recommend it to everyone.

My mum always used only Revlon nail polishes, so I have either stolen hers or bought my own. I love their neutral and red colours. The nail polish is smooth to apply, I never get patchy streaks and it lasts for about 5 days without chipping and that is pretty good I think. They are a classic for nail polish. The nail polishes do smell a bit though in comparison to others.

This has always been one of my favourite nail polishes. It's very affordable, being a drugstore brands and works very well. For drugstore, it is slightly on the higher side, but for the amount of product, it's good value. They always have a huge variety of colours, which is very good, as I find that lots of brands have limited range. I have around 20 of the polishes (which clearly show that I like them), and they are overall very well pigmented, as I find I can get flawless colour in two coats.

This is a gorgeous nail colour, but it's very thin to apply. After three coats, I still don't get full opacity. The base colour is a vivid blue, which reflects violet in the light.

When worn without a top coat (which I do when reviewing a nail colour), the colour starts to wear away from my nail tips after only one day. Colour fades each day of wear & chips after two days, but I'm sure this would be longer with a top coat. I've uploaded a pic onto the beautyheaven forum. At time of writing, it appears on page 442 of the "What Colour are your Nails?" topic.

REPURCHASE? Only on sale. Revlon nail polish is so expensive, but the quality is no better than cheapies like Ulta3 or Sinful Colors.

Thin formula, thus dries relatively quickly. Completely opaque and even in 2 coats. Definitely needs a base coat to prevent staining, and a good top coat to seal in colour. It started to chip on day three.

The brush is too thin and wobbly. Not my favourite brush to quickly cover surface area. The bottle is large and can take up more storage space than other polishes.

There a better polishes for a fraction of the price, but if a shade catches your eye I would purchase it during a half-price sale. Not bad, not great.
