Tested For You: Avon Gel Shine Nail Polish

Avon recently launched in Italy its new Gel Shine nail polish line: 20 colours plus one clear Top Coat. Some colours remained from the previous Gel Finish line but the formula has been improved and many new colours have been added.

The whole range of colours of the new Gel Shine line by Avon

Let’s make this clear: these are NOT gels for nails, these are GEL EFFECT POLISHES, this means nail polishes that are very shiny, much more than the normal polishes, but still common nail polishes. These DO NOT dry in the Uv Lamp and you take them off with your polish remover. Many people think “gel effect” means that these are gels for nails but they are not. All polishes you find in a glass bottle with the brush are nail polishes, not gels!

The colours range goes from a very light pink to a very dark grey. Personally I would have added a black (even if Charcoal Smoke is such a dark grey that can be mistaken for black), some more blue and violet shades, taking our maybe one of the beige shades, but of course this is my personal taste.
I personally love strong colours and my favourites in this line are definitely Fabolous (a shade between fuchsia and red), Mint To Be (not a strong colour but I love aqua colour) and most of all the most beautiful colour in this line for me is the Red Velvet, a dark metallic red, really fantastic! There are classic colours for the ladies like the classic red Roses Are Red, light colours for young girls or even little girls like all the pastel colours, and stronger colours like the Purplicious violet or the Sapphired Up blue. I think this line can satisfy all kind of clients!

The colour is strong already after the first coat but a second coat is always recommended to obtain exactly the shade of colour you see in the bottle and to improve lasting. On my hands I have gel reconstruction and almost every nail polish lasts long on gel nails but on feet it really lasts for a long time, even 2 weeks without croppings and without the Top Coat! Using the Top Coat it should last even longer. The colour is super shiny just like gel, so I’d say this nail polish passes every test!! With a price in Italy at the moment of 3.95 Euro it's a real deal I would highly recommend!
