Revel Nail Sensitive Dip Powder Liquid Set - Base Coat, Activator, Gel Top Coat, Hema Free, Suitable for Sensitive Nails

I became allergic to gel nail polish due to the chemicals. I was at a loss as to what I was going to do. Then, I found this! I switched to dip nails and this has been my saving grace. No allergic reaction at ALL! The finishing gel does require an LED lamp and you have to wipe each nail once fully cured with alcohol. My dip lasts a SOLID 2 weeks plus, after 2 weeks I’m ready to change the color. No lifting, chipping, or peeling. My nails are rock hard. Removal is a bit much, I soak in 100% acetone remover after I rough them up with a course nail file, 30-45mins per hand. You do need to give the base coat about 45 seconds to 1 minute to settle before dipping or you’ll get ripples and unevenness. I’ll never use another gel set!

I was told to use this product because I was experiencing dip flu. The low odor it the only good thing about this product. First problem is the top coat NEVER dried! I googled what the problem is because there was no nice little instructions or scan me anywhere just to find out you have to wipe with alcohol after using a UV light. Second I had nails popping off after 2 days so I started gluing them back on until I could sit down and redo them fully. Joke was on me because they even popped off on my sister who is bed ridden so it’s not like she’s hard on her nails. Lastly the base coat turned to a thick gel and can’t be used at all. I’d rather wear a mask with the high odor liquids than waste my money on these again.

So far so good. No dip flu after doing my nails this time. There was a slight odor but nothing too bad.

This does help with dip flu however I still have to use a nail dust filter and wear a mask. The drying time is pretty slow for the base which gets frustrating. UPDATE: I am giving this an extra star because I tried another brand of a low odor and got a severe breathing reaction. I have come to the conclusion that the chemical that causes my dip flu is what makes for a faster drying time for the base and also helps the nails stay on longer. But I dont want to stop doing my nails and I dont want to be sick for a week everytime so I'll stick with Revel. I love the look of the gel top coat too! Very clean any shiny.

After years of getting gel polish, i developed a terrible allergy to seemingly all things related to soft gel. Even nail glue! I was devastated. My mother was a manicurist for decades, nails are very important in our family. Trying desperately to find an alternative, I found a thread on Reddit of people facing the same allergy, and at the very bottom of it was someone mentioning their success with Revel Sensitive Dip powders. I immediately bought and decided to at least try. It worked! No allergy! I have gone a little crazy now with powders and glitter. If I could I ask that they make the sensitive base on Amazon that would be awesome!

I purchased this product because I have allergies to many of the chemicals in other nail dip products. My skin flakes, peels and gets very itchy. I had high hopes for this product. I did a full set the very day it came on October 16th. While I was doing my nails powder was not sticking to the base as other products have worked for me in the past. When I would dip my wet nail the powder would barely stick to the base and be blotchy and uneven. I dipped three times to get a solid coverage of powder knowing I was going to have to file and buff a lot to achieve a smooth solid finish. Eventually I got a smooth enough finish to put on the top coat. The nails were thicker than I would prefer but a fair exchange I was willing to make if the product did not cause me allergies. Within two days the nails were popping off as if I were wearing press on nails from 1982. Here I am walking around with glue gluing nails back on each day. By the 19th I started repairing nails with my old product without any issues. One nail at a time. By last night on the 20th I had prepared eight out of 10 of my finger nails with my previous product that I'm allergic to. This morning both of the two remaining nails popped off. Not one of the repaired nails with my former product have had any cracks or popped off. By the end of the day I will have a full set of nails with a product I'm allergic to. If I have time during the week I will try to put on a full set once again with the Revel dip system. I have a busy life and the last thing I want to think about are my nails. I do my own nails to make sure they come out right and to save a tremendous amount of money and time. Having my nails pop off as an extreme waste of my time. I hate walking around with a bag of nail supplies to fix my nails on a whim. I hate wasting my precious lunch break fixing a fingernail to make sure I look professional at work. So far this product is a waste of my time and money. I desperately hope the second set works out better. I will post an update.
