Blue Jelly - Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Wild Card, Diamond Top Coat

I finally got around to using one of the gifts from Jme for my last birthday!

[Bottle to nail: Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Wild Card (2 coats)]

This was fun to try out! This shade is Wild Card from the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Range.

This particular shade comes in a set along with the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat. In combination, this is supposed to give you a gel-like finish while working like a normal polish (ie. no curing!).

First things first, it's a lovely slightly dusty blue shade. The formula was slightly prone to flooding and was uneven with one coat but evened out nicely with the second coat. However, it tended to bubble, which is not an issue I have encountered for quite a while!

It's a bit of a combination between a jelly polish consistency and a creme, which gives a nice squishy finish which I assume if where the "gel finish" comes in. Dry time was better than I expected from the formula so that was a nice surprise.

Overall, I don't think it's all that gel-like - you could get the same finish from any creme polish and a good topcoat, but maybe you'd have to wait a bit longer between coats. As a regular polish, it's a nice staple shade, and a good thin topcoat for cremes.
