Revlon Ultra HD Snap Nail Polish, Long Lasting Vegan Formula, Quick Drying & One-Coat Full Coverage Colour (8ml) Get Real (016) Unisex

‘Commander in Chief ’ is a dark army green creme from Revlons new ‘Ultra HD Snap’ collection which it says is "…a 1 coat full coverage nail polish…made from more than 78% natural ingredients…is ‘20 free’…vegan and it dries in a snap!"First off, I love the design of the bottle, the shape is very eye catching and the colour coordinating lid makes it easy to find the colour at a glance. The chunky rounded lid was not only easier to hold but it also gave more control over the brush when painting, and I loved that when closing, the lid gave a satisfying ‘click’ so you know there is less chance of spills and/or dried up polish. The brush wand was slightly shorter than I’m used to but what a joy it is to use! It is slightly wider than most so it covered more nail surface meaning less strokes were needed and it’s rounded edge followed the curve of the nail perfectly giving a precise and fast application and even with my unsteady hands I was able to achieve a neat result.The formula was richly pigmented and gave good coverage on the first coat but a second coat was needed for full opacity. My nails have quite prominent ridges and are uneven and while the second coat did give better coverage I did still apply my usual topcoat to give a smooth ridge free finish and to add shine.Drying time was fast, and even though adding a second coat meant that it was no longer ‘dry in a snap’ I felt that the 3/4 mins it did take was still an impressive dry time and I could go about my day without the worry of smudging or denting my nails.As I was intrigued as to how this polish would perform, I ended up painting my nails with 1, 2 & 3 coats of polish, both with and without topcoat, and my personal preference was the result that 3 coats gave because the colour was richer as was the finish which was smooth, shiny and with no visible ridges. This may be an excellent 1 coat polish if applied slightly thicker onto smooth healthy nail beds as the formula is definitely pigmented enough, but the ridges in my nails are like valleys and as good as this polish may be, it is not a miracle worker lol :)This may not have been a one coat wonder polish for me but it wouldn’t put me off trying other colours in this range as the benefits of this being a ‘20 free’ cleaner polish far outweigh this tiny negative. The green shade is not a colour I’d usually buy, but i ended up loving it so I’m happy to have had the chance to try it.It was darker on the nail than in the bottle and slightly changed shades according to the lighting, it mostly looked rich and dark and made a nice change from dark purples and black polishes that can look too harsh. It is perfect for autumn/winter but I would wear this colour anytime as it looks so sleek. I can’t comment on wear time as I’ve only applied it today, but my hands have been in and out of water and it still looks good and there’s no signs of chipping, which is promising :)Overall I think this would be an excellent polish if you love dark nails, have smooth nails and dislike sitting around waiting for your nails to dry because it really does live up-to it’s claim that it’s ‘dry in a snap’. The benefits of it being a cleaner polish are a huge plus and definitely the way forward and priced at only £6.99 it goes to show that environmentally conscious beauty products can be produced without compromising on quality or costing the earth (literally:)Best of all, this polish is 100% cruelty free 🐇💕Happy to recommend.

‘Damsel in a Dress’ is a bright medium pink creme from Revlons new ‘Ultra HD Snap’ collection which it says is "…a 1 coat full coverage nail polish…made from more than 78% natural ingredients…is ‘20 free’…vegan and it’s dry in a snap!"First off, I love the design of this bottle, the shape is very eye catching and the colour coordinating lid makes it easy to find at a glance. The chunky rounded lid made it easier to hold and also gave more control over the brush when painting and I loved that the lid closed with a satisfying ‘click’ and reduces the chance of spills and dried up polish. The brush was a joy to use! It is slightly wider than most so it covered more nail surface meaning less strokes were needed and its rounded edge followed the curve of the nail perfectly giving a precise and fast application and even with my unsteady hands I was able to achieve a neat result.The formula was richly pigmented but it did apply a little streaky on the first coat. Due to this and also my nails being very ridged and uneven I applied a second coat, this gave better coverage and also made the colour more vibrant too. As it dried the polish lost some of its original shine and again my ridges became slightly visible. This was easily remedied with a quick drying top coat which added much needed shine and gave my nails a smoother looking finish. Drying time was exceptionally fast, even with 2/3 coats (& topcoat) so you really can paint your nails and go about your day in a snap! ;)As I was intrigued as to how this polish would perform, I ended up painting my nails with 1, 2 & 3 coats of this polish, both with and without topcoat, and my personal preference was the result 3 coats gave as this provided a richer colour and a smooth and shiny finish with no visible ridges.

The pink shade, while nice, did seem to change according to the lighting, going from soft pink in low light to an almost neon pink in daylight to a rather garish looking tippex/bubblegum pink in fluorescent lighting (not very flattering) and I swayed between loving it and wanting to immediately remove it accordingly - the photos, I hope, also reflect this. I think this shade will best suit summer months when my skin has a had a little sun but for now it is still on my nails and doing remarkably well on day 2 - no chips or even any tip wear - but then that is usually the way when you’re not all that into a polish :/Overall I think this would be an excellent polish if you love bright pinks, have smooth nails and dislike sitting around waiting for your nails to dry because it really does live up-to it’s claim that it’s ‘dry in a snap’. The benifits of it being a cleaner polish are a huge plus and definitely the way forward and priced at only £6.99 it goes to show that environmentally conscious beauty products can be produced without compromising on quality or costing the earth (literally:) Happy to recommend.
