Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy

I recently got sent a bunch of Revlon products to play with, including some of the Colorstar Gel Envy polishes that I've been eyeing off for awhile. So I thought I would give you some swatches of the colours and I did a bit of a road test to see how long they would last compared to gel.  All the swatches are 2 coats and coated with the Gel Envy top coat.

 

Win Big- this is a super shimmery copper polish with pink tones. It's very shiny and pretty.

 

Long Shot- a red creme that leans closer to a burnt orange.

 

High Roller - a very deep purple creme.

 

Dealer's Choice- a pretty green/blue with a small amount of silver shimmer.

 

Vegas, Baby- a pretty pink with a blue shimmer

 

Wild Card - a vivid blue creme

So I painted my first and middle fingers with a gel polish, and the ring and pinkie with Vegas, Baby topped with the Gel Envy top caot. I prepped both the nails in an identical way. Seeing as I normally change my polish every single day, I was purposly hard on my nails to see what would happen. So I washed dishes with no gloves, did some gardening and cleaned the appartment. Normally doing this normal polish would only last a day before I got some kind of chipping so I was actually really impressed with how it held up. If I was a bit more caredul I think I would have easily gotten a week of wear out of it. Even so it held up well until day 4 when  I got one bad chip and I just had to take them off.
