As always, wishing you all a happy Monday. Dug out this old nail polish from the bottom of my makeup drawer and I thought I’d share it with you. This is Revlon’s Top Speed nail polish in the color, Cupid.
Color: A very pretty cool-toned Barbie pink. I don’t usually share my opinions on shades here, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but this is just so pretty. Depending on the light, it may look more like a hot pink or more lavender.
Application: It has a fairly typical brush, unlike the Wet N Wild polishes, and applies about average. No complaints.
Drying Speed: Despite its name, I don’t find this dries much faster than ordinary polishes. I’ve certainly scuffed up my nails waiting for this polish to dry before.
Wear: And now we get to the reason that this has been in my drawer untouched for maybe a year. This chips like crazy for me. The first or second day wearing it, it has noticeable chips, and by the third or fourth day wearing it, I’m ready to remove it completely. I will say this though: even though I haven’t touched this in a year the formula hasn’t gotten gunky at all, so at least in the bottle, it ages well.
Price: $5.99
Cruelty-Free: Alas, no.
So what do you think? Have you tried this nail polish before? What are your favorite fast-drying brands? Let me know in the comments below.
Love that ring.
Thank you! I saw something similar on another blogger’s instagram and searched high and low to find it.
Pretty! Pink’s always a classic 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Gorgeous Color! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
I really like the top speed formula … No matter what Revlon is amongst the first brand I used and it will always be special to me.. Great fun color you chose
Thank you. I’m loving this color. It’s girly, but a little bit different from a typical pink
It sure is pretty !
How cute is your ring! 😻
Thank you!! 🙂
I have a yellow one of these, not sure what it’s called and I thought it dried fast, but within a day it was totally chipped. I’d rather wait five minutes longer for my nails to dry instead of having them chip the very next day. The colours are pretty though!
I completely agree. I really only have time and patience to do my nails on the weekend, so if my nails don’t look decent at least for the work week, I’m not likely to use that polish again.
Cute ring.. Where did you find it?..
Thank you. I got it from a store called Madewell about a year ago. I’m not sure if they still stock it, but if you google “cat ring” there are plenty of options.
The colour looks great on you. I have the same problem, nail polishes chip very easily. I find that Essie nail polishes don’t chip as easily and dry super fast!
Thanks for the tip 🙂
Such a pretty colour and I love your ring!
Thank you, thank you 🙂
This looks like a really cute color! I have a white polish from that line and it works fine for me, but I always use top coat/base coat — it probably wouldn’t last very long on its own either 🙂
That probably helps! I’ve also heard that it varies between colors, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Nice review, pretty color!
I have nominated you for Liebster Award! Enjoy 🙂 x

Thanks Kelly. I’ve had cats pretty much my whole life until the present. I think that some of them are more afraid of males. I’m not sure what it is. If you see the cat more often, I think it will probably warm up to you gradually. Cats are skittish
Love the review and the colour! So glad I found your blog!
Thank you!
That colour is so pretty. I haven’t got it yet but if I see it in shop I will defiantly pick it up. Your blog is fantastic!
Thanks so much!
