So everyone is releasing their version of gel manicures-inspired formulas and Colorstay Gel Envy are Revlon's answer to the trend. I am really enjoying these new formulas and I feel like finally after years there is progress in the nail polish market, especially when it comes to pastels. But I have to say I have never tried such a perfect one coater as this one.
Royal Flush is a hot pink/ magenta / fuchsia shade that is more on the cool side and it also has small duo chrome pink-purple frost in it, which only gives the shade that cool tone, but it isn't obvious shimmer. The formula is very thick, but smooth and it's super pigmented. All these factors make it the most perfect one coater I've tried to date. Due to the thickness it already feels like you applied two coats, so applying another one before the nails are dry, makes it way too much. However, no matter what kind of nail polish I use, I always apply two coats purely because like that, the nail polish lasts way longer (but this is one coat on the pictures with no base or top coat). With this one I just wait until it's completely dry, it doesn't even have to be on the same day to apply another coat. One thing that isn't its best feature is the lack of strong shine, which gel formulas tend to have. The brush is a classic one, so medium width and it takes three strokes to paint the nail. Don't ask me about staying power because every nail polish lasts super long on my nails.

Laki, ki obljubljajo videz gel manikure so se razpasli praktično povsod med cenejšimi znamkami in so prinesli očitni napredek kar se tiče formul, sploh pri raznih pastelnih odtenkih. Ampak čeprav sem preizkusila že nekaj takih formul, takega kot je ta, ki je popolnoma prekriven in izgleda tako popolno z enim slojem, pa še nisem imela.
Royal Rush je odtenek fuksije s hladnim podtonom in ima dodane še zelo majhne "duochrome" bleščice, ki se prelivajo od roza do vijole, ampak niso očitne na nohtih. Na slikah je en sloj laka brez podlaka in nadlaka.
Ima zelo gosto, ampak gladko formulo, ki je zelo pigmentirana. En sloj je popolnoma dovolj za polno prekrivnost, pravzaprav je težko nanesti še eno plast laka preden se popolnoma posuši, ker je že prvi sloj tako debel, kot dva pri običajnih lakih. Vseeno pa ko se prva plast popolnoma posuši, raje nanesem še eno plast, ker sta kot pri vseh lakih, dve plasti veliko bolj obstojni. Ne vem zakaj, ampak ta lak v živo nima tako svetlečega finiša, kot ostali gel laki, sem ga pa nosila brez nadlaka in podlaka. Čopič je povprečne debeline in potrebni so 3 potegi da se nanese po celem nohtu.
Laki Colorstay Gel Envy so na voljo na Clic2Chic for 8,49 €.
I'm also wearing Born Pretty falsies #HS-43 and new Revlon's Ultra HD lipstick in Rose. Both things will be reviewed in the future.
Have a great day!
