Revlon may not be well-knowned for their polishes but I have always loved them! I purchased and repurchased the Revlon Clear Polish each time I visited Hong Kong when I was still living and working in Shenzhen, China. Ahh, those where the days I hop on the ferry and sit for 30minutes and voila! I'm in Shopping City! :)
When Nail Art Designs turned out to be a huge part of my life, one of the many polish brands that I have enjoyed using as a base or even used as a polish for designs, they always deliver! I cannot count the times I have used the Revlon Fire and Ice Nail Polish Collection.
Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Nail Enamel says ---
Revlon Top Speed™ ‘s patented formula
delivers amazingly quick color, with a built-in topcoat that rises to
the surface for a glossy, ultra smooth manicure- that sets in 60
seconds. The ColorPrecise™ brush ensures even, smooth, salon quality
application every time.
AMW says ---
Pros- Brush is nice and easy to use.
- All 5 shades I got are very pigmented.
- Does dry faster than regular polishes even as compared to Revlon's Nail Lacquer.
- Pigmented. 1 coat gives a nice sheer shade and 2 coats give a very nice, true-to-the-bottle shade.
- Formaldehyde and toluene free.
- Has a nice shiny finish even before top coat application.
- Not all shades have the same consistency, but we can't expect that even on other brands.
- Without top coat, this may chip faster than the regular Revlon Nail Lacquer.
Is indeed a top speed fast dry nail enamel! Colors are amazing!
Tips
- Using a base coat is still recommended to protect your nails from further yellowing.
- To make the polish stay longer, an extra layer of top coat is still recommended applied with a "wrapping" method.
- Never shake the bottle of your nail polish, instead, roll them between your hands.
- Never apply your nail polish in front of a fan.
- Always close the polish tight after EVERY use. I've had 3 new polishes dried out with my carelessness :(
Yes!
To whom do I recommend this to?
Anyone who can't sit long waiting for nail polish to dry.
Where to purchase and how much?
At local Revlon counters for Php325.00 (approx $7.55).
Swatches
660 Grape
110 Pink Lingerie
305 Electric
730 Royal on my toe nails
Using 860 Metallic as French Tip

DeleteLove those toes!
ReplyDeleteah thanks! :) I thought you'll be turned off by it :P
DeleteI love the yellow! I'm curious about the grey shade though :)
ReplyDeleteSige, I'll show the gray shade once I do a nail art tutorial, sorry I TOTALLY forgot to swatch it! hehehe
DeleteI am quite a fan of Revlon polishes! In fact, that's the only thing I buy from them because I don't really like their makeup.
ReplyDeleteEven the normal range is thin and quick dry, yet gives true colour. Only con is that they chip more quickly than OPIs.
Anyhow, I've got Revlon is a nice berry red for when I want standard red nails. =)
I like the pink here. So sweet.
I'm glad you liked something from the brand! I agree with you, they've been forever in the market but their polishes are a bit on the "unsung hero" side as they make great polishes but no one really noticed!
DeleteHi Nikki
ReplyDeleteI love Revlon polish too! Just hauled 10 bottles from US (from a friend). I noticed that recent batches in Malaysia are very watery and after 2 coats still not enough coverage. The ones I bought in 2010 are good. The red ones are good.Do u have the same problem?
So far, all these that I got aren't that watery!!! Maybe, when they get to be the "old batch" they get watery! Or probably depending on shades?
