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

Revel Nail Sensitive Dip Powder Liquid Set does the great jog. Yes, you do have to use a lamp for the gel top coat, but because it is Hema free, I do not have a reaction to the gel or do I get "dip flu" anymore when powder dipping the nails. I quit using the powder dip years ago because of the allergy and could not do gel either, but now I can have my nails back. They are last 3 - 4 weeks too, so I don't have to constantly be doing my nails unless I want to. I don't miss the the "dip flu" or the burning and itching of gel.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This set of liquids does have low to no odor and that is exactly why I purchased these. I have used Revel liquids as well as other brands in the past and the dip flu really gets to me. I get swollen eyes, they water so bad, it looks like I'm crying, not to mention my nose runs like a faucet. So in that respect, these liquids really solved that issue. Now for the cons. I have been dipping my nails for 4-5 years now. I have NEVER had an issue with the staying power of base liquids before. I can usually go at least 3 weeks in between sets and I did not even make it one week before I had to re-do 2 nails. They are half hanging off so fortunately, I only had to pry the whole dip nail off and re-apply like a press on using a different base liquid which really fixes the issue. It has only been 2 weeks and I have had to do this to 5 nails now. I think what I will do for the next set is use the other base liquid I have and do a clear layer for staying power and then the rest of the layers with this dip liquid and hope for the best. The ONLY reason it got 3 stars is because of the fact that it really is low to no odor and I had no dip flu problems while using this set. EDIT: I had done a new set on December 8th. I used the base liquid by Azure Beauty that has a very high odor to do 1 complete layer of clear as a base. Once that dried, I used the Sensitive liquids to complete my new dip mani. It is now December 23rd and I have not had to replace one nail. They have stayed strong and have not crumbled, broken, or come off. This will be the process I do from now on as one layer of a high odor base liquid does not affect me too much. I will continue to purchase this.

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 originally ordered because I developed an allergy to certain nail products. It worked like the regular line of these polishes, which I had been using prior to my allergy starting. My issue with this product is that no where on the box did it specify that the top coat had to be cured using an LED lamp for gel polish. I had to google this. Instructions should be clearly laid out, especially since it is a sensitive line and sooooo many allergies develop from uncured gel polish touching the skin.
