Revlon Colorstay Base and Top Coat Review

Hi everyone!
I am here wide awake at almost 2:30am LA time while it is 5:30pm in Manila.  Kyle just went to bed so I guess I'm left nothing to do but blog.

I have received Revlon's ColorStay base and top coat last year when I was still pregnant so I gave this pair and skipped and waited until I gave birth to try out this combo.  I know I have stopped doing nail art for almost a year (Promise, I'll get back to that) but I did not stop applying nail polish!  With my very busy life as a mom, nail polish chip in less than a week so it was a pleasure for me to try Revlon's newest base and top coat.

Pros

• Great flat brush applicator.
• Formulation is easy to apply.
• The base coat has a gel-like texture making it easy to fill up the surface of the nail and create a smooth canvass.
• Polish stays  more than a week with hardcore washing.
• Polish stays shiny and fresh even after several days.
• Fast drying.

Cons

• Did not state that this product is free from Big 3.
•  

Overall
A nice base and top coat that helps prolong nail polish up to almost 2 weeks and it keeps my polish shiny and fresh-looking for days.

Tips

• Apply a coat of base coat and let dry before you start nail polish application.
• Seal the polish with top coat and don't forget to include the edge of your nails.
• No matter how tempting it is to leave your polish for 2 weeks straight, try to let your nails breathe at least after a week as nail polish tends to stain our nails.

Will I repurchase?
Yes.

To whom do I recommend this to?
Nail polish users.

Where to purchase and how much?
At local Revlon counters for Php325.00 (approx $7.74).

Have you tried any polish from Revlon Colorstay line?
How do you like it and do you prefer the brush or the traditional nail polish brush?

I find Revlon is "upping" their game when it comes to nail polishes!  I have quite a number from the ColorStay line and I love the variety of shades and the lasting color!  I wish they would come up with a really safe one for pregnant and breastfeeding moms like me! :)

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!
