Most nail polishes either chip quickly or feel thick and unforgiving on the nail. Revlon Nail Enamel is formulated to balance shine, durability and ease of application, giving you a polished look that holds up to everyday life without a heavy, rigid feel.

Nitrocellulose forms the core enamel film, gripping the nail to help colour wear longer with fewer chips. A blend of ethyl and butyl acetates, plus propyl acetate, creates a levelling solvent system that smooths out brushstrokes. Plasticisers such as acetyl tributyl citrate and triacetin keep the film flexible, while light-reflective particles, mica and silica contribute to brilliance and dimension.

The formula applies as a fluid, self-levelling lacquer that settles into an even, glossy layer. It feels lightweight on the nail, rather than thick or gummy, and dries to a firm, smooth finish. With careful application and a good base and topcoat, it delivers multi-day wear with reduced chipping and dullness.

For the most even, long-wearing result, prepare nails thoroughly and apply in thin, controlled layers. Allow each coat to dry to the touch before adding the next, and always seal the free edge of the nail to support chip resistance. Finish with a compatible Revlon topcoat to lock in shine.

Optimised solvent and resin balance helps the enamel level out for a smooth, professional-looking finish.Flexible film-formers work with plasticisers to reduce the likelihood of cracking and tip wear.Pearlescent and reflective pigments are finely milled to deliver clarity and high shine without gritty texture.Lightweight suspension technology keeps effects evenly dispersed, reducing settling in the bottle over time.

Pair with a Revlon base coat to help protect the natural nail and improve adhesion, then finish with a Revlon topcoat to boost gloss and extend wear. Nail care treatments in the range can be used between applications to maintain nail strength and smoothness.

Revlon Nail Enamel delivers lasting shine, smoother application and reliable chip resistance in a classic, salon-inspired formula.

• Step 1. Start with clean, dry nails, removing any old polish and oil with a non-greasy remover.
• Step 2. Shape and lightly buff nails, then wipe away dust to create a smooth surface.
• Step 3. Apply a thin layer of base coat and allow it to dry fully.
• Step 4. Apply the first thin coat of Revlon Nail Enamel using three strokes: one down the centre, then one on each side.
• Step 5. Allow it to dry to the touch, then apply a second thin coat, sealing the free edge of each nail.
• Step 6. Finish with a topcoat to lock in shine and help protect against chips, then allow nails to dry completely.

Pro Tips

• Roll the bottle gently between your palms instead of shaking to minimise air bubbles.
• Keep coats thin; multiple light layers wear better and dry more evenly than one thick coat.
• Run the brush lightly along the nail tip to cap the edge and support chip resistance.
• Avoid hot water and heavy hand creams for at least 30 minutes after application to help the enamel set fully.
