Whoop Whoop, Happy Friday!!!
Heads up Thrifty Chicks!: Our local Rite Aid has a crazy amount of beauty products on clearance! I'm talking: foundation, eye shadow, lipsticks, lip gloss, nail polishes, all the good stuff AND from great name brands too(L'oreal, Maybelline, Rimmel,etc.)! My first trip I got $136 worth of makeup for a whopping 4 big ones and some change! What!? Then my second trip I got $90 worth of products for $11! A ton of stuff is under $0.99!
I scored a bunch of new polishes to try; these two included. I tried to wait as long as I could to give a true review of how these nail polishes held up, but the Revlon only lasted 4 days!
I was, however, pleasantly surprised of how great quality the Julie G polish is!
Revlon Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel
in Stiletto
**Quick Decision Facts**
PROS:
- Fully covers the nail with 1 coat (which is rare with black polish)
- Dries a nice glossy finish
- A bit runny on the nail
- Slow drying
- May dry with tiny air bubbles
- After wearing 1 day it shows every little scuff and bump mark
- Lasted 4 days! started chipping in 2
- When it first chips, it then begins to flake off
*Ruling*
Revlon product description claims "Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel instantly wraps nails in a shatter-proof shield of color." "Inspired by salon gel nails that gives 11 days of lasting color."
Real Chick's Ruling: Umm, Seriously, 11 days and a 'salon gel nail'!? Ok, Revlon marketing department, let me just hold up my half covered 4! day old chipped and flaky nails to your face while I laugh in it! This is a big 'ole fail. It would be perfect if you only wanted your nails looking great for the night or maybe a day!
Was too embarrassed to show you what they looked like at 4 days, here's a hint, they were jacked up! But that Julie G is a BEAST! It's still on after 7 days with NO chips!

**Quick Decision Facts**
ALL PROS:
- Great consistency, not too thin nor too thick
- Get a lot of color and coverage with only 1 coat
- Has a shiny smooth finish
- Stays on amazingly! no chips and it's been on 7 days!
I'd say it was $0.50 well-spent! Makes me wanna go get more! =)
