Probably more than any other beauty routine, I have a love/hate relationship with painting my nails. I go through phases of only getting professional gel manicures, not painting my nails at all, and everything in between. Typically, my nail maintenance routine looks like painting them every 2-3 days because that’s how quickly they always seem to chip, no matter how diligently I apply a base coat and top coat.
I’m also that person who likes to change my nail color often, whether it’s based on my mood, the season, or what I’m wearing. I love experimenting with fun and unique shades, especially considering how lately there always seems to be a new trend when it comes to nail color!
Needless to say, I was excited when Revlon sent me some of their new Brilliant Strength™ Nail Enamel to try out. If there’s a nail polish that can look great AND keep me from having to reapply more than once a week, well that’s definitely a product I would be interested in.
I received three shades-Entice, Hypnotize, and Intrigue.
I decided to try Intrigue first, and I loved not only how easily it applied, but how quickly it dried and made my nails look. Good to know it also comes in 24 other fun shades!

What makes Brilliant Strength™ Nail Enamel different is that it has a strengthening formula that combats breaking and brittleness. I think that’s really important because I always want to make sure the beauty products I’m using are not actually harmful, which isn’t something often considered when it comes to nail care. And then – get this – unlike most nail polishes, Brilliant Strength™ Nail Enamel already contains a built-in base and top coat for stronger and harder nails. How cool is that? It’s also a lot less work involved than my previous nail routine!
I’ve had this coat of Brilliant Strength™ Nail Enamel on for five days now, including over the weekend when I was away at the beach, and there is still not a single chip. I won’t know for sure until I remove this coat, but it really does feel like my nails are getting stronger and less likely to chip as they grow. I think I may have found a new favorite nail polish…and can’t wait to try the other shades!

secret is stay protected from the sun
My best kept beauty secret is use mascara in place of liquid eyeliner- it goes on easier because its not as thin as liquid eyeliner and stays on better.
DECREASE STRESS!!! Stress leads to wrinkles, bad sleep, acne flareups, and a myriad of other unhealthy things that all lead to you not looking or feeling your best. Meditate, watch a standup comedy show, snuggle with your significant other or a pet. Just do something to get the negative energy out and the positive in!

For extra coverage instead of caking on the foundation, I first do a layer of tinted moisturizer and then do a layer of foundation.

Use a foundation that has a combination of sunscreen in it. This helps to prevent your face from getting burnt.
