Review: Revlon Gel Envy Nail Enamel

Hey loves! I have been trying out Revlon's new Gel Envy Nail Enamel for almost 2 weeks now. I love getting gel or shellac done at the nail salon because the color last at least 3 weeks without chipping and leaves your nails feeling so strong. Not to mention the shine is incredible but who wants to pay upwards of $25 dollars to get your nails done every month. I also don't like how awful getting the shellac off is. Your nails may be strong when you are wearing the gel but after my nails always feel weak.
I purchased the polish from Target for $5.99 and the color I chose was an orchid shade called Winning Streak. I recently picked up a dark red called Queen of Hearts that I will be wearing to an upcoming wedding. The one thing that I did not do was pick up the top coat that goes along with this collection. I wanted to see how the polish stood up with just my regular top coat Seche Vite which I purchase from Sally's Beauty Supply.



Here is the nail polish applied with 2 coats of the color Winning Streak and one layer of the Seche Vite fast Dry top coat. I did find that you could get away with just one layer of the color because the opacity was very good. I did two because I normally apply more than one coat. 
I only noticed the tip of my nails chipping over time. I also noted that the polish did grow out at the bottom which is very similar to shellac or gel nails. When you first apply the color I think the polish comes off very matte but I do not know if the top coat that comes along with this collection is shiny or not. I used my regular top coat and thing the shine was average. 
I am excited to try out the red color so look for an update on that on my Instagram page. What are your favorite brands of polish?
Enjoy
