I have had far too many shellac manicures--you know, hands in the ultra violet light (to bake and dry the nail paint.) Usually I had done every 2 weeks. BUT ALAS, not any more!
Shellac is terrible for the nails and hands (especially the ultra violet light)....I always try to remember and use sun screen before a shellac manicure, but I usually forget. I finally decided I didn't want to depend anymore on expensive, bad-for-your skin shellac manicures--and then tried Revlon's Gel Envy.
One thing I won't compromise on is having my cuticles done--so off I went to my manicure shop, with my Gel Envy in hand, and told them to do two things---only 2 topcoats of color (no base coat, what I learned from Revlon), and I also bought the accompanying Gel Envy top coat.
That's it--BUT, you need to work quickly with Gel Envy nail polish itself (learned through research)--as I instructed the manicurist to do. That said, wait a minute or two before you apply your second coat of color--and maybe another couple minutes before you apply top coat.
This does NOT dry quickly--it took at least 15 minutes sitting under a heated nail dryer for it to feel dry enough to drive home. If I had more time, I would have kept them under the dryer another 5 or 10 minutes. Keep that in mind, especially if you are coloring your nails yourself (or use a warm blow dryer!)
The color is nice--a little darker than the charcoal gray shellac I was used to, but also not deep black--some where in between.
So far this is the 3rd day and not one chip yet--if this were a typical manicure using OPI polish, for example, it would have chipped already within 24-hours--I am hard on my hands and nails!! I am not a prima Donna--I actually use my hands in everyday tasks!
And I almost forgot--best part I can use normal nail polish remover anytime I wish to take off. No more siting at the nail salon while they wrap your nails in soaked remover and tin foil! I hated depending on the salon to do that--and now I have the longevity of a shellac manicure, but the ease of taking the polish off anytime (or to touch up as I wish.)
And instead of a $25.00 shellac + $6.00 tip---it's now a $10.00 manicure + $5.00 tip :-) And best of all, no more damaging my nail bed or hands with the ultra violet light....WIN, WIN. Thanks, Revlon!
If anything changes, I will update. But for now, I'd say Gel Envy is an excellent product. Just be patient as you apply and dry!

| Pro Tips | Apply to cotton pad and buff away nail color. To remove gel nail polish, soak cotton ball with remover and place on top of nail. Tightly wrap aluminum foil around cotton and nail and wait 10-15 minutes. | Use the nail cutter to clip from each side toward the center. | File in one direction to help prevent splitting. Adjust the length and shape of your nails by filing with the coarse, brown side of the emery board. Then, to make those edges extra smooth, use the beige side of the emery board. | Before pushing back your cuticles, be sure to soften them by soaking in warm, soapy water or by saturating them with Revlon Essential Cuticle Oil. | Brush a thin coat of the polish over each bare nail. Wait at least 2 minutes, then apply a second coat of color. | To finish, swipe one coat of the ColorStay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat over nails to lock in color and maximize shine. |

Finally a regular polish that lasts!!
First off, it's important to know that I have never liked painting my own nails. Mostly because I'm REALLY hard on my hands and nails and I can never find a polish that stays. I am a teacher who plays play acoustic fingerstyle guitar in my free time and due to Covid-19 I wash my hands all the time! So regular polish does not stand a chance on my hands. Next, I'm really not that great at painting them. It takes me a long time, and if I'm going to take that long, I want it to last more than a day or 2 or 3. Due to Covid-19 I will not yet go to a salon for my gel nails. I still dont feel safe doing so. After 4 months I got desperate! Still not wanting to tempt fate at the salon I did some research. After much reading this brand impressed me. Due to the cheap price on this particular color I decided to try it and boy am I glad I did!!!! This picture was taken after 6 days of it being on. Tomorrow will be 1 week on, and still the only issue is minor wear at the tips. No chips or cracks! Now, I have to say 1 more thing, I did use a base even though it says it has it built in, and I painted the edges like my manicurist does. Otherwise I did nothing special to it. In conclusion, buy it and try it!!! Highly recommended!!!!
