I can still remember my first Revlon product. It was a clear Nail Polish which I bought a couple of years ago when I was in Hong Kong! I think it was those rare moments I had to bring myself to Hong Kong to purchase a good "clear polish" used as a top coat because my nail polish just won't last for more than 3 days!
Revlon, is known as a pioneer in the beauty industry with its matching lip and nail shade statements. I can still remember those US magazines I've bought as I stare at the gorgeous print ad from the said brand! This month, they are re-introducing its famous "lips and tips" pairings with the Fire & Ice Collection. This collection includes 3 new shades in the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick with matching Revlon Nail Enamels. These shades pay homage to the classic colors of what started Revlon as....Revlon!
(Note from AMW: The red lipstick equivalent is not on photo as it's packaged differently, will share the details soon)
I will do a separate post on the lipsticks, for today, I will be showing you the Nail Polish Collection newly launched for the love month called February!
Revlon Nail Enamel says ---
Shades that pay homage to the classic colors that put Revlon at the forefront within the cosmetics realm.
3 New Revlon Nail Enamel Shades: Siren, Temptress, Demure and All Fired Up (Existing shade ina new bottle with Vintage Revlon logo)
AMW says ---
Pros- Very rich, pigmented shade.
- Shade name and number seen on top of the nail brush handle which makes it easy to identify.
- Shades are very pretty and unique!
- If you are into matte, yet not so boring shade of matte, these are the ones!
- Dries up a bit fast. 1 coat can dry up around 5 minutes, 2 coats get to be completely dry in 10 minutes. Not bad!
- The polish can last for a week if you applied a good base and top coat!
- Nice classic Revlon logo.
- Brush is a bit too slim, I like the wide flat brush (personal choice).
- Limited edition, so I'm not sure until when will these gorgeous shades be available.
- Others may find this a bit pricey.
Revlon polishes has been around but haven't been given much time of the day because of the limited shades available as compared to other brands! I am glad they are playing up with their game and are now coming up with shades that calls for classic with a modern twist! Fashion is obviously recyclable and nail polish shades aren't exceptions to the rules!
Tips
- Always apply your preferred base or anti-yellowing polish prior to polish application for protection.
- If possible, give your nails a week of rest prior to changing nail polish shades (I should listen to my own tip...lol!)
- Always start application in the middle of your fingernail then gently apply both sides. Never re-apply polish on the same area.
- Do not apply polish in front of a fan! This may cause polish to bubble up!
- Never shake your polish, roll them gently between your palms instead.
- Do not put acetone if your polish is drying up, it may work for the first few tries but it will make your polish dry out even more.
- Do not put polish inside the fridge or directly under the sun.
- Always follow with your preferred top coat to make the polish last longer.
- If applying nail polish is your weakness, you can have your nails done outside then bring the shade you want!
Yes!

It's actually a shocker, but it's a first for me to try Revlon Nail Polish with colors! I've always been purchasing their colorless polish which works out really well. I guess I wasn't thinking much about Revlon when it comes to nail polish! With this new collection, it's starting to change my mind! I am impressed with the 4 shades offered in this collection. I can't even find a favorite of mine because each gives out a very unique character!
What's your favorite shade in this collection?
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
I like the demure
ReplyDeleteDemure is such a gorgeous color! :) Revlon actually has relatively good quality nail polishes. They're the best drugstore brand, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteim wearing DEMURE now pero sa toenails lang... di ako sanay maglagay sa hands =P
ReplyDeleteAny tips on how to store them para di sila madaling magdry up? =)
Demure looks awesome for the spring months!
