Revlon Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel Review Part 2!

Hiya!

I know it’s been a long while – I’m sorry! My life has been pretty hectic recently, in a good way though, but it has meant I haven’t really had much time to blog unfortunately.

I have now finished my exams (thank god!), been on holiday (to Sorrento in Italy which was just AMAZING!), and started my summer work experience so I should now hopefully have a bit more time to blog… hopefully!

Anyways, here is the second part of my review of the Revlon Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel Review, and unfortunately it’s not going to be a positive review!

As I said in part 1 I wasn’t overly impressed with how long it took to apply, especially seeing as I’m not the most patient of people, however I was very impressed with the finish. It gives a really nice clean, shiny finish; however, as I soon found out, this doesn’t last too long.

I wore this nail varnish for just over a week and took pictures every morning to see how it lasted through the duration of the week. Day 1 is just the same as the pictures from the first part because that was obviously the first day of wearing it.



Here are the rest:

So, as you can hopefully see from those photos, up to day 3 the polish lasted okay with only a couple of very minor chips; although seeing as it was meant to be able to last up to 11 days, chipping on the third day of wear is not good!

Then from day 4 onwards, they were just chipping and flaking everywhere constantly - it was absolutely rubbish! I was really, really disappointed, especially seeing as it meant I had to write a bad review which I really dislike doing, but you guys need to know - do not buy this nail varnish and expect it to last, because it doesn't!

By day 8 it was just chipped so badly that I couldn't stand leaving it on my nails and had to take it off because it looked a mess. Needless to say I didn't use it on my holiday and instead opted to just go with clean nails with a clear top coat (pretty boring but I preferred that to chipped nail polish).

To be honest, I am just extremely disappointed in this nail varnish from Revlon. I have tried it again since we came back, as has my mum and it just hasn't lasted so I know it wasn't just a one time thing. After hearing such good things about Revlon I was expecting a really good quality nail varnish, and although it wasn't majorly expensive, it wasn't exactly a cheap nail polish either at £7.99 for which I could have bought 2-4 other nail polishes from other brands which would probably have lasted 3 to 4 days with minor chips, which is the same as the Revlon managed.

I do love the colour of the polish and it gives the best finish of any nail polishes I have ever used, it's just a shame that it lasts for such a little length of time! Then of course there's the application of it which I just find takes way too long. I'll still probably use it, but for when I go out and so only need it to last for like one day as it is such a pretty colour with such a good finish and now that I've bought it, even though it's not lived up to expectations at all, it would be a shame to waste it.

So, in conclusion, I am not impressed I'm afraid! Love the colour, love the finish, don't like how long it takes to apply and really don't like how much it chips, especially when it's meant to last up to 11 days! Also, not too fond of the price tag, as although it's no major pull on the purse-strings, it's just not worth it.

So, after that rather negative review (sorry!), as always, thank you for reading, please subscribe if you like my blog, and I really do promise to get back on the ball and get some more posts up for you very soon!
