How To Get Salon Quality Nails At Home

I love having pretty and colorful nails.  There’s just something about having a nice, fresh manicure that makes you feel good.  I used to get my nails done at the salon but when I became pregnant last year, I decided to start doing my nails at home for the sake of saving time.  If you’ve ever painted your own nails, you already know that the polish usually doesn’t last very long and before you know it, you have a chip here and a chip there and then chips everywhere.  Okay I sound like a nursery rhyme. Lol
Now that I have my baby Milan, I still choose to continue painting my nails at home.  Spare time is almost non-existent and when I’m not working, I’d rather spend any and all of my free time with her.  A fresh coat of polish on my nails is a now a luxury so I am thrilled to share with you how to get salon quality gel nails right at home in just TWO easy steps!
I’ve been using Revlon nail polish for years and was super excited to try the Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy™ Longwear Nail Enamel along with the new Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat™.  The pioneering nail collection provides a salon quality manicure with life resistant wear in an easy at home, 2 step system to total gel envy.  It’s extremely easy so here are the two steps:

STEP 1: Base + Color in One 
Begin with Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy™ Longwear Nail Enamel.  There is no need to use a base coat underneath because this high performance lacquer already has a base coat and color in one convenient formula for longwearing brilliant color.  This provides time saving applications, which is exactly what I need these days! I love that the color is easily removable with your favorite nail enamel remover.

STEP 2:  NEW Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat™

Give the final touch with Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat™.  This is Revlon’s toughest top coat yet!  Between running my businesses, being a full time Mom, changing diapers, cooking and cleaning – my nails take a beating.  With this top coat, I don’t have to worry because it has a protective coating that allows me to go about my daily activities without stressing about ruining my nails.  Technically speaking, the film smoothing and DiamondFlex Technology™ delivers long lasting chip-resistant wear, strength and leaves my nails with a beautiful multi-faceted diamond like shine.

Application Tip: 

Use two coats when applying the color and allow 5 minutes of dry time before applying the top coat.  I challenge you to try it for yourself and here’s why, Revlon knows these products are amazing and I love that they stand behind them so that you can try them without any worries!  Try these out and if you don’t love them, Revlon will refund you!  How amazing is that?  There’s absolutely no risk so you really don’t have any reason not to buy and try them now and see for yourself! Satisfaction guaranteed. See Revlon.com for details. Limit one per household.
Cooking is a passion of mine.  I love to prepare meals and of course I love to eat!  I’m not the greatest chef but after many years of making family recipes and experimenting, I can definitely hold my own in the kitchen.  One of my biggest pet peeves is when I get done painting my nails with other products and I’m all excited… and then I start cooking, look down and see my nail polish is chipped or dinged.  Worst. Feeling. Ever.
This is another reason why I love the ding resistant wear and shatter proof strength of Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy™ Longwear Nail Enamel.  I can cook a full meal without having to worry about ruining my nails.  Just to show you what I mean, here are my nails before I start cooking:
And this is after meal prep, washing my hands a bunch of times and cooking an entire meal.  Looks and holds up perfectly even after all of the heat, water and items banging into them!  I made homemade organic vegetable pizza (so delicious) and as you can see below I’m putting the final touches with some fresh basil and my nails are still intact.
 
I also spend countless hours on my computer and the constant typing really does a number on my nails. Here’s what my nails look like after several days of cooking, cleaning and working on my laptop:
Another reason why I love this product is that it is made without formaldehyde, DBP, toluene, camphor or formaldehyde resin.  As a Mommy, this makes me extremely happy as it provides me with peace of mind when I’m holding and playing with my daughter.

If you’re looking for a DIY salon quality manicure at home, I would definitely recommend you try this for yourself now to see how amazing it is!

P.S – I’m wearing Royal Flush in these photos and it’s such a gorgeous shade of pink for Summer!

  1. The finish, at least on my computer monitor, looks very similar to the Essie gel couture. Have you tried it? I have been super satisfied with it. The Revlon polish is much more affordable and, if it gives a similar result, it would be an awesome option. I will check it out. 🙂

  2. Love the color you are wearing, and also the orangy one. I usually give myself a manicure once a week, or at least try to. And by manicure I mean filing my nails, soak them in water and apply lots of lotion:D

  3. I love all your posts and I have been looking for a new nail polish to try. I bought these Revlon nail polishes today while I was running errands and I absolutely love them! They aren’t expensive but look as nice as getting my nails done at the salon. Thanks for the great recommendation!! ????

    • Oh good timing then huh? Make sure to try the Cardshark color – it’s the perfect pink!

      Best,

  4. Can you take the polish off with regular nail polish remover?

  5. Genuinely when someone doesn’t understand then its up to other visitors that they will help, so here it takes place.

  6. I got this site from my friend who informed me on the topic of this web page
    and at the moment this time I am visiting this site and reading very informative posts here.

  7. Great blog here! Also your website loads up fast!
    What web host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link
    to your host? I wish my web site loaded up as quickly as yours
    lol

  8. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely should i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail about the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is an element that insufficient persons are speaking intelligently about. I am delighted we came across this during my look for something with this.
