First impressions:The bottle is sleek and nicely designed. Looks like an upmarket polish. However, no box? The blurb on the back is in gold writing which is scrunched together and not as chip-proof as the polish itself claims to be, so upon delivery much of it was worn away and the rest was illegible. (I sincerely hope there wasn't a safety warning on there akin to 'do not expose to bright lights', 'do not get wet' or 'do not eat food after midnight whilst wearing'. I wonder if I'll end up with lots of little multiplying evil nail polishes.)The colour surprised me. It looks a little dull and matte in the bottle, not as rosy as the online picture.First use:Unfortunately the gimmick with this polish that I was looking forward to most,

I’ve been looking for a true red nail varnish ever since the brush detached itself from the lid of my last bottle, making it almost impossible to use. I’d not used a Revlon varnish before and the colour seemed to be about what I wanted, so I thought I’d give it a go.To give it a proper test, I applied the two recommended coats over a base coat (to prevent staining), but omitted my usual top coat – after all, I’m testing the varnish not someone else’s product.As several other reviewers have already mentioned, the colour does seem paler than expected and rather matte in the bottle. However, once it’s on, the colour seems deeper and the shine is lovely. You also get a very smooth finish which looks very smart.But what about durability?

I have to say I’m quite impressed with the Revlon Nail Enamel in Red. Not only does it dry quite quickly (as long as a thinner coat is applied), the colour holds its vibrancy. I have found that unless applying a top coat then it can chip around the tips of my nails but only slightly rather than huge noticeable flakes. While waiting for it to dry, if you do apply too thick a coat I have found it scratches quite easily as its drying (definitely longer than 30 seconds) so just avoid doing anything for at least a few minutes really helps the overall performance. I also have some quite ridgey nails but after a quick polish before applying the nail enamel, it doesn’t show the ridges up much at all.

I am so impressed by this very 1980s hued polish (think Magnum's Lamborghini or power dressing red stilettos.) Please let me begin: I love nail polish and have a fridge full of the stuff. Every week I apply a different colour and it cheers me up no end. I usually use Boots Number 7 or the Nails Inc polishes either my friend gives me or I get free with magazines such as Glamour, but this surpasses it all. I am typing this review whilst still wearing the polish I applied on last Sunday, so it's nearly a week ago and apart from a few chips, it's lasted really well - in fact, almost two days longer than my regular brand.To give some background to the application process - I filed, pushed back my cuticles,

I love wearing nail varnish, but, admittedly, I don't exactly lead the kind of lifestyle that lends itself to nail varnish. I don't possess a dishwasher - so my hands are in a soapy kitchen sink three times a day. I type (which knocks the top of the nail), I cook, I peel vegetables, and yesterday I was hiking across moors, having to grab rocks and heather to steady myself. So how does this nail varnish perform?One coat is sufficient for a good colour, but if you want a "shellac" effect then you really need two coats. It is chip resistant after 30 seconds when applying, but is still soft - so putting on a pair of jeans will still wreck at least one nail at this point. But unlike some other varnishes,

First, the colour; it's a good pink toned red with good coverage. I could wear this every day. As I usually do I basecoated to avoid staining then two coats of colour and a topcoat. It's a great texture, not too runny but not gelly IYSWIM; I hate polishes that do that. The brush is nicely designed, if you have narrow nails you could probably with practice use one stroke per nail, which IMO makes for a neater coat with less streaking. I did touch test after 30 secs but nowhere near dry so I used a Sally Hansen Insta Dri topcoat and that hardedned it off nicely. I love Revlon NP bottles, they look good and stand steady while I'm applying so that's a plus. Durability wise, my first go didnt chip for 3 days.

Nail varnish colour, like so much other makeup, is all about personal choice and what shade best suits you, but one colour that is pretty universal - red. ‘Revlon Red’ is pretty much a classic shade, slightly darker than some, but not too tomatoey. It applies very well and is thick enough to cover the nail in only a few swipes. Another good feature is that it dried very quickly, so there was far less chance to end up getting red everywhere. It takes longer than thirty seconds to dry, but you can walk around soon after this with little worry about transfer.Once dry the varnish covers well and stays on for a decent length of time. If you apply a clear varnish on top it becomes very chip resistant and should last a few days with only minor top ups needed.

This product is not really my thing, so my wife happily reviewed it for me. She really likes it. The shade is vivid and even, and the enamel dries (give it a minute) to a smooth, high-gloss finish that is not prone to chipping. One coat provides good solid coverage, but it seems to work better when applied in a couple of thin coats, which produces a slightly more even finish, and dries quicker too. A quick nail-buff will help produce the smoothest finish though, as the enamel goes on top of whatever unevenness is there on the nail, and can only even it out so much.In everyday use, it doesn’t tend to chip, but then it depends what you are doing with your hands. Certainly when touch-typing,

This nail polish is very easy to apply with a good shaped brush that is easy to hold ( even in your “wrong” hand) and the bristles that make up the actual brush part are a great shape for nails, they splay out nicely and give a good coverage with each stroke.The colour takes a little building up ( between 2-3 coats depending how thick you like it) and despite the claim that it dries in 30 seconds I found it still a little sticky so waited a little longer between coats to get the best smooth finish. Once all the coats have been applied the colour is strong and vibrant and looks great.The formula is “chip resistant” and , to be honest, has fared pretty well with the normal rough and tumble of my day (typing,

I'm reviewing the Red shade which is a really nice vivid and bright red once on. I would say you would need to do 2-3 coats to get the desired shade as on just one coat alone the red looked to me too light but on the second coat looked a nice vivid red. The varnish doesn't dry in 30 seconds and I would say to ignore that claim as I haven't found a nail varnish yet that actually does fully dry in that short a time frame. I can say that it was fully dry and not touch tacky within 5 minutes.The brush is very small with nice thin bristles and this made the application very smooth and easy to control although I do like the angled thick brushes with my normal nail varnish but this brush was more than sufficient for application.

I have had a few Revlon make up items of late and they are on the whole very good, but the imagery on Amazon can be a touch misleading with the shades of colour. Admittedly, the pictures are for guidance only, but this one did live up to the colour of the image. A vibrant and lively red that can really show off your nails.Easy to apply though you have to get the right layer depth. Too shallow and it is a touch washed out, too heavy and you have a longer drying time than the 30 seconds advertised. I over applied the first time whereupon a hard shell formed, but left a softer underside that was prone to marking. The second time I under applied, but that was easier to remedy.Quick drying and a good hard wearing finish.

A lovely rich red, love it. I do like Revlon nail varnish just wish their brush was better. I find them rather thin and too long.The coverage with this kind of brush is minimal needing to go back to the pot to charge up the brush about 3 times before my nail was covered but do confess I use an old Rimmel brush and clean it with polish remover each time. 2 coats were needed to get the rich colour.As for drying time, well no different from most other nail varnish drying took about 2 minutes to get touch dry but needed at least 30 mins if not more before I could use my hands properly with out the usual 'fingers up and spayed apart opening doors with your palms' type of thing going on.I do like it,

Revlon red nail enamel is a lovely bright colour. It is easy to apply, and the quality of the brush seems good. To get the full benefit of the colour, you need to apply two coats. The colour lasts well, and is chip resistant. I wouldn't say that it is impossible to chip it, but it stands up well in comparison to many other types.Revlon claim that it takes only thirty seconds for a coat of enamel to dry. I haven't found this to be the case. In reality it took several minutes for it to dry, and I still felt that I should be careful with it for ten minutes after that, until it was 'rock hard' at last. This is not as long as some nail varnishes take, so it was an improvement over some,

This product arrived yesterday afternoon and my wife applied it to her fingernails after tea. The initial impressions were very favourable, the applicator brush was just the right size and the enamel dried in about 30 seconds. However, by the end of the evening, around 5 hours later, the enamel had started to flake off leaving her nails looking, quite frankly, a mess. She says she will clean the remnants off and try applying the enamel again and if the results are any better I will report back. Until then I'm afraid I can't endorse this product.*** UPDATE ***After my quite scathing comments earlier my wife did retry this nail enamel and after using a magnifying glass to read the miniscule typeface on the side of the bottle we discovered that 2 coats should be applied.

I received the Revlon Nail Enamel in red for review and was really impressed with both the beautiful, vibrant colour and the consistency and ease of application. I was sceptical about it drying within 30 seconds & I'm not 100% sure that that is the case but if you apply a thin coat it is definitely dry within a minute. I usually find that only using one thin coat ends up leaving a streaky look to my polish but in this case I think I could have got away with just the one coat because it had applied so well. I ended up using 2 thin coats anyway, probably more from habit than need, and was left with a beautiful manicure that lasted 6 days without a single chip!
