A few weeks ago the Hubs and I went to CVS to pick up a tube of Neosporin and a few other items. While we were there I noticed that several of the makeup brands were having ExtraBucks Rewards sales. Thinking that I could stock up on some products to review AND get some ExtraBucks to spend on future products as well I decided to take advantage of some of them. Revlon was one of the companies having a reward so I decided to pickup a few products. As soon as I looked at the nail polish the Revlon Showtime polish caught my eye and I knew I would be buying that one.
Revlon Showtime is part of Revlon’s Colorstay Gel Envy polish line. The Gel Envy polish line is a two-part system that uses a Gel Envy polish and then you top it with the Diamond Top Coat. However, you don’t have to use the Diamond Top Coat with the polish if you don’t want to. You are free to use whatever top coat if you like, the Diamond Top Coat is to guarantee the durability and longevity of the Gel Envy polish.
Since you can use whatever top coat you want I decided to partner the Revlon Showtime polish with the Sally Hansen Ultimate Shield Top Coat. I had purchased this around the same time as the Revlon Showtime polish and wanted to test it out for the blog so I decided to try it instead of purchasing the Diamond Top Coat. I’m not going to go into details now about my feelings on this product right now, that will come in a future post so stay tuned for that.
As you can see Revlon Showtime is a gorgeous deep purple shade. When I look at this polish I think of those images that you see of the galaxy. It just absolutely amazes me. The polish also really stood up well on it’s own without the Diamond Top Coat so I can only imagine how it would hold up with the top coat. This polish lasted for over a week with just the Sally Hansen Top Coat and the color didn’t dull at all. I will be buying more from this line and I’m probably going to pick up the Diamond Top Coat as well.

Thanks for giving your input on this nail polish. I might have to give it a try as the color looks great.
