The Next Best Manicure

If you have ever painted your nails at home you have probably become frustrated with the fact that nail polish doesn't seem to look good past day 1 and starts to chip by day 2. Even getting a costly professional manicure does not seem to help stop the dreaded polish chipping that plagues us all. If this is true for you, take a deep breath and maybe even have yourself a sigh of relief! Revlon is here to save your manicure. The Revlon ColorStay Nail Polish is a three step process to a perfect 10 day manicure.
This is how it works:
1. Apply 1 coat of the color polish to clean, dry, unpainted nails. Let dry.
2. Apply 2nd coat of color polish and let dry.
3. Apply 1 coat of clean top coat polish and let dry.
The polish says it will last 10 day while keeping a chip free shine. I have tried two of the colors and am about to start in on my third. Both times I have used the polish it has stayed chip free for all 10 days. I am not very rough on my nails, but I do have friends that are and even they got several days of chip free polish when they usually get no more than a few hours. The great thing about this polish is that the shiny top coat stays for over half the time. It started to fade on my nails around day 7 so I applied another top coat to it and fixed the problem. You will also notice that the consistency of the polish is a little thicker, and less runny, than other brands. I thought that it was easier to apply then most polishes. But, be prepared to work to get the polish off. The staying power is great for as long as you want your manicure to last but can be difficult when it comes to removing it. It takes a lot of polish remover and cotton balls. When it comes down to it, who can complain? You just had the world's longest lasting manicure.

My top three color Picks:
1. Always Wild
2. Always Vintage
3. Always Natural
