DISAPPOINTING PRODUCTS #8- REVLON COLORSTAY GEL ENVY NAIL POLISH



Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Polish - I really wanted to like you so I have kept trying you for numerous times.  I was drawn to the fact that you said on the bottle 'Gel Envy'. Being a busy full time mom, going to the nail bar for a treatment is a luxury so most of the times I do my nails myself at home.  If a nail polish can give a gel-nail effect then that's even better.

The consistency of the nail polish is rather thin, and together with the brush it just makes building up that gel-like effect rather difficult.  Often I needed at least 3 coats on each nail to have that effect, and on top I always put on a coat of Seche Vite top coat to make it all properly 'gel like' and dry faster.  But even so it's not very impressive, plus it chips so easily after a day or so....

I'm going to give these two bottles to some friends who might prefer them over me.

Have you tried this before?  What's your favourite gel-like finish nail polish?
