Arrow Nail polish to try

I have to let you know about this great new nail polish from Revlon. I wouldn't do this unless it was super good -- and it IS!

They claim:

No more ugly peeling. No more messy chips. New ColorStay Always On Nail Enamel gives you gorgeously manicured-looking nails that resist chipping, cracking and fading for up to 10 days.

Unbelievably, this actually is true! I thought I'd try it, not expecting a miracle, but it actually dries really fast and lasts far longer than any other nail polish I've ever used.

One of the hardest colors to get looking great in a manicure is RED. It always seems to bubble up or chip immediately. I used the color Ultimate Wine and four days later it still looks just-polished.

FINALLY, I've been using it for a month and it's helped my nails grow longer because it doesn't chip (which always seems to lead to nail breaks).

Nope, I don't work for Revlon, I just think everyone should know.

ok, sorry to crash your forum, but hey, it is a cosmetics question! I have to second the positive review on this. My little - who never wears nail polish because it pretty much falls right off her nails - got this and she loves it.

i have to try

I have been such a creature of habit with OPI that i need to try another brand that doesn't look that bad say after a week of wear as OPI does. I swear it fades in such un flattering way.


Laura

PS... Also i have a cosmetic question. After yrs and yrs of using Clinique what brand is better to switch too... revlon or Lorele`(spl)?????

I like Clinique, but the counters here don't carry shades dark enough for me, so I'm pretty exclusively a MAC girl for makeup.

I'm a Lancôme girl. Have been for six or seven years now. I love their products! I have tried Clinique on a few occassions, but it just doesn't compare.

After the glowing reviews here, I bought the Colorstay Always-On Nail Enamel in "Invincible Bronze". My nails peel and chip at the tips, so any polish usually starts to peel off within a day or so. I'm on day three, and my nails look as nice as the first day I did them! Thanks for telling us about this!

It's truly good stuff! I am glad it worked as well for you as it has for me. I went for 8 days with the red before it chipped a bit at the tips. Now I am back with the Camisole Pink.

The interesting thing about the product is that it is tough and nails! I banged my finger against the desk the other day and the nail polish chipped off -- didn't peel -- but my nail was unbroken!

It's a great product!

I just wish there were a wider range of colors. It seems that there's lot in the 'pink' family, but not too many neutrals.. or at least that's how it looks at the drug stores near me.

End of day three, and they still look great!

RE: colors. I totally agree. I have gotten four of them, but most are not in my usual color range. I am hoping they'll expand the color selection sometime soon.

Wanna Trade?

Okay, I'm totally addicted to this stuff! I bought a color that just doesn't suit my skin tone, and am looking to trade with anyone who's willing to help a Canadian sister out!

The colour I have is Stay-Natural Sheer, which has a pinkish cast to it. I'd love to trade it for Timeless Nude.

PM me if you're interested!

I cannot believe how well this polish works!I wore it all last week and by the 8th day it still hadn't chipped.It even stayed completely on while I moved.That amazed me.It took the heavy duty cleaning solutions that I used to clean my old apartment to start taking this polish off.What a fabulous product.I too was so impressed I went out and got it in 3 more colors.
