Revel Nail - Swatches and Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Presentation
Revel Nail is an American brand that I have mentioned a lot in the last couple months, both here in the blog and in my Facebook page. When I first heard about it I thought it was just another gel polish brand but it all changed when I made the first contact with their team. First of all the team is super fast at all email responses and they have always been amazing in their costumer care. 


They answered all my questions about the brand and explained me everything about their products.  When we first made contact, the rep told me that they had a new base coat under development and If I would like to try their gel polish they would contact me again as soon as the new base with the new formulation was ready. The contact happened a couple weeks later when they updated me on the news and progresses of their new products. 

Very little time later, I was contacted again with the great news that the new base was ready! A package was sent and I received it quickly, very well packed and all products in perfect condition. 





Packaging
 This bottles are quite singular. Usually, gel polish brands have their gel polishes in black UV blocker bottles that don't allow us to see the real colors. Revel Nail, however, has managed to create a formulation of gel polish that is stable enough to be stocked in see through bottles, witch is amazing! I love that I can see the real colors in real time!



Application
Revel Nail gel polish has a 3 step system with application of base coat, color and top coat. Why I like the 3 way system:
- Gives extra layers of strength to the nail without making them too thick;
- The gel polish lasts longer;
- The top coat gives the nail an extra shine that lasts longer when compared to monophasic gel polishes;
- The base coat really adheres to the nail and does not lift in any place even with 20 days of wear! 
- If you don't like to have to much color, this base and top coat apply nicely on their own. I experimented with base-curing-top-curing and they made the nails look amazing. This can help you with your regular polish too. With this base/top combo you can protect your nails, reinforce them (if they feel weak) and make your regular polish last longer. 

Curing 
I started testing this polishes in UV and they cure in 2 mins per coat (base, color and top).
When I moved to led I tested them in both 1min curing time , 45secs and 30 secs . The base, colors and top all cure in 30 secs per coat. The top coat leaves a tacky layer, so you need to clean that up with cleanser.

 Wear
This polishes wear so well and for such a long time. I received 7 shades and I wore them all for at least 5 days. One of them I wore for 20 days - Carouse - and two others I wore for 10 days - Feisty and Festival. I wore Spree for 7 days and the remaining for 4/5 days. All of them were without a single ship when I removed them. Even Carouse. Carouse had minor wear marks on the tips but no lifting or chips. 5 STARS for Wear.

Removal
As you can see by the picture bellow this text... Removal is perfect. I used the foil method with foil squares, cotton pads cut in 4 pieces (1 piece for nail) and regular acetone. I have not buffed the nails prior to removal and the soak off time was of about 7-10mins. With buffing it takes from 5-7 mins. The polish comes of in pieces and the nail has NO DAMAGE at all! Perfect. I am beyond happy. No shoving or pushing of any kind. 

Carouse
Purple with a hint of blue and grey. My favorite (ok one of...my favorites). 2 coats of color.





Dawn
Medium Pumpkin orange, super bright! 2 coats of color.

Feisty 
My 2nd favorite. Also a purple. This one is the shimmer shade of this set of swatches! Wears beautifully on the nail and the hands look amazing, even with small nails! 



Festival
Premium classic red. A must have in every collection! I am always partial to reds but I need to say that I LOVED this one. 2 coats of color.





Hijinks
I never thought I would like this much a light baby pink. Applies perfectly and looks amazing! Loved it! 2 coats of color.




Spree
This was a super surprise. I always love blues but I am never sure if I am going to like them on my nails! I did! I actually loved this almost petrol blue with this gorgeous shine! I even got a lot of compliments on my blue nails! I really loved wearing it! 2 coats.

Disco
The cream of the crop, the cherry on the top of the cake! This is one of the most gorgeous glitter top coats I have ever used. Revel Nail Disco is a holographic top coat with medium holographic particles, and amazing(outstanding) shine and reflection capacity and a highly pigmented formula. Disco has a scattered holographic finish with medium sized holographic particles suspended on a clear base. 1 to 2 coats depending on the holographic dept and effect you want.




My Final Thoughts
This is a brand I will support and recommend.

I don't have one single bad point to say about it and I will keep using this colors. Disco is a must have and so is Feisty. They have just launched their FALL collection so you should check that out too!

Here they are. My favorites from the new collection are: Incline, Supernova, Queen, Lava, Blarney and Solid.
I am super curious about Flynnstone, Passion, Bonfire and Honeymoon!
