Revitanail is a local brand best known for their nail treatments - Revitanail's Nail Strengthener is their version of OPI's Nail Envy - but they also have a small range of Triple Strength nail colours in classic everyday shades. I received one of them, Pomegranate, in a gift box last year and finally got around to trying it out a few weeks ago when I was digging around for a bright spring red.
I was in the mood to do a bit of research on the Triple Strength line and true to Revitanail's emphasis on nailcare their colour polishes contain ingredients such as bamboo "to improve flexibility and strength", and calcium "for protection and growth". Sounds good so far and then they say the polish "features a quick-dry gloss finish and streak–free smooth application...".
I obviously had high hopes for this polish but ended up a little underwhelmed by all but the colour. Pomegranate was exactly the colour I was looking for and I loved the vibrant pink/red but the application was average because of the thick formula and unfortunately the wear time was less than average, as despite wearing base and topcoat I experienced chipping after a few days. Oh well, let's just admire the colour shall we?
Shade
Have you tried this line of polish?
Oooh, such a perky shade! I have something very close to it and basically wear it all summer long. :)
ReplyDeleteI love pinky/watermelon reds for spring summer. I think if I wasn't expecting such greatness from the formula I wouldn't have been disappointed because on colour alone it's perfect :p
DeleteThat color is glorious! It's too bad about the formula. That always sucks, because even if something is the most wonderful color, if the formula is not reliable, I never wear it again, lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing ya Larie! I'm pretty torn on this one because the colour is lovely but if it can't last the week on my nails then I'm not going to seriously consider wearing it again.
DeleteToo bad it wasn't everything you hoped for! The colour is still amazing though! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Jasmine - I think this is all about the colour really and would be the main reason to buy it.
