Most nail polishes give you shine but chip within days; this ColorStay Gel Envy formula pairs gel-like gloss with impressive staying power. It is designed to deliver the look of a salon manicure in fewer steps, without a UV lamp. You get long-wear colour and a smoother finish, even on busy, hands-on days.

Fast-evaporating solvents like butyl and ethyl acetate help the formula level quickly for an even surface. Nitrocellulose and acrylates copolymer form a flexible yet durable film that resists chipping and tip wear. Light-reflecting particles, including synthetic fluorphlogopite and borosilicate glass, enhance depth and shine for a plump, gel-effect appearance.

The texture applies as a fluid cream that self-levels to minimise ridges and streaks. Once dry, it sets to a glossy, cushioned finish that feels smooth rather than thick or plasticky. The ColorStay technology is designed to provide chip-resistant wear for up to a week when paired with a compatible top coat.

The built-in base coat is designed to grip the nail, so you can move from prep to colour more quickly. The brush fans out to cover the nail surface with fewer strokes, helping reduce bubbling and uneven patches. For longest wear, seal the free edge and combine with a ColorStay Gel Envy top coat.

Film-forming nitrocellulose and acrylates copolymer create a flexible, chip-resistant layer over the nail.Light-diffusing glass and mica-based particles add depth and high reflection for a gel-like shine.Self-levelling solvent balance helps reduce visible ridges and brush strokes as the polish dries.Built-in base coat technology promotes adhesion to the nail plate, supporting smoother application and extended wear.

For best results, pair this polish with Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy top coat to lock in shine and maximise wear time. Use alongside your preferred nail strengthener or cuticle care between manicures to keep nails in good condition.

This is a long-wear, gel-effect nail colour that streamlines your manicure while delivering salon-level shine and durability.

• Step 1. Start with clean, dry nails, removing any old polish and oil with a gentle remover.
• Step 2. Shape and lightly buff nails, then push back cuticles to create a smooth surface.
• Step 3. Apply a thin first coat of polish, starting at the centre of the nail and gliding towards the tip.
• Step 4. Add a second thin coat for full, even coverage, carefully sealing the free edge of each nail.
• Step 5. Allow polish to dry fully, then finish with a compatible top coat to boost shine and longevity.
• Step 6. Reapply top coat every few days to refresh gloss and help defend against chips.

Pro Tips

• Roll the bottle between your palms instead of shaking to reduce bubbles in the formula.
• Keep coats thin; two fine layers last longer and dry more evenly than one thick layer.
• Run the brush lightly along the nail tip to seal the edge and help prevent early chipping.
• Avoid hot water and heavy tasks for at least an hour after application to allow the film to cure properly.
