Color me impressed!
Revlon’s ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel line has quickly become my favorite drugstore brand polish line. I’ve had nothing but good luck with all the polishes I have tried from the line but since Revlon claims this line is a longwear line I wanted to do a wear test.
On their website Revlon claims this polish wears up to 11 days and is “shatter proof”. I didn’t make it 11 days, but I did make it 6.
I applied Revlon ColorStay Provence on a Wednesday and wore it until the following Tuesday. For a base coat I used Julep, and for a top coat I used Revlon ColorStay.
Overall, I am exceedingly impressed with how well this polish wore. I had no major chips or cracks, just tip wear. The biggest difference between my day 1 manicure and my day 6 manicure was the amount of shine. The manicure did dull quite a bit over the 6 days.
Below the jump there is a picture of my nails on day 6 along with a macro shot. The tip wear really is quite minimal for the amount of time I wore this manicure.
One thing is for sure….this turned out a heck of alot better than my last wear test!

I have had good luck with most shades in this collection with stay power – but like you, I don’t get 11 days! And their topper and base don’t help IMO. I get much better wear time when I use my go to base (Orly Nail Armor) and SV for a topper. I went nuts for this when it first came out and got almost all the shades the collection came in – a definite over-kill in my collection now! There are maybe 5 shades in it that I go back to wear more than 1 time and there are some in my never been tried category still. This is one I do like it’s not too milky/chalky white for me like many pastels can be.
I haven’t used the top coat enough to have a definite opinion on it but so far I think it’s just mediocre. SV, on the other hand, I hate! Top Coats are so personal!
Amazing shade 🙂
I agree! It’s lovely 🙂
pretty! maybe i will get this until I can find OPI Done Out in Deco. Nice choice
It’s just a few shades lighter than DOiD. A good substitute for sure!
Wow, that still looks so great! I only have one from the line but it didn’t last six days on me…but then again I tend to pick at my nails when I’m bored!
I was really surprised how well this wore. I usually get bored of any given color so most polishes don’t last long on me either!
I’ve been pleased with this line so far. I don’t have this shade though…now it’s on my list!
It’s a lovely color! I highly recommend it 🙂
I have the Provence – in spite of a good base coat and top coat, it chips on my nails after barely 24 hours. I even tried using it over a coat or two of some China Glaze that stays on a week (unaided), it didn’t work much better. I’m gutted, I love this colour…
Oh no! I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve had great luck with the ColorStay line. 😦
