I wore acrylic nails for over 30 years until I developed the allergy of all allergies. I didn't want to give up my beautiful nails but after trying gel nail products (applied like acrylics), gel polishes and other things I wasn't getting what I wanted. My nails were in such horrible shape then I found another powder system at a local salon and fell in love! After paying $40 and $50 a crack for someone else to do my nails I thought, "I can do this, it doesn't look that hard." But I didn't want to pay for the pricey other systems out there. Then I saw an ad for Revel on Facebook and while there IS a bit of a learning curve to this product, my nails looked great the first try.
Some hints:
Powder colors aren't quite the same in the jar as on the nails. Colors also look a bit different on a computer screen as opposed to real life.
Before beginning read the directions thoroughly more than once. Be sure you fully understand what you need to do because once you get started you need to keep going to get the best results from the product.
Don't get too close to your cuticles. It does make a difference.
Have several good files of different grits and a good buffing block
Now I can't wait to try more colors!

Love this!!
Ok. Just did my first mani so I don't know how long it will last but I did ok with it. I forgot to send my color and they sent me a random color. The funny thing is that it is the color that I really wanted but I was going to get something else to be a little more practical. So it was a nice surprise that I got my "want" instead or my practical "should". It's a bit lumpy but smooth. I'm sure I'll get better.So my first application lasted 2 weeks. I'm getting better at it. For those who say it's impossible to do yourself...that's just not true. I have no special skills and I am working it out!After reading the comments about bottles being stuck shut...I made sure that once I was done with them, I put acetone on a cotton pad or paper towel and wipe the bottle neck clean. I hold the cotton ball between 2 fingers at the base of the fingers where they meet my hand so it does not mess my nails up.

I had a really bad reaction to this product. I had to use my rescue inhaler (which I haven't used in years) to be able to breathe, my eyes turned red and swelled up, and I got super congested.
The first few times using this product, I didn't put it together that this kit was making me react. I thought I caught a cold. I actually missed 3 days of work because I was so congested and had a splitting headache. My eyes were also incredibly itchy and I went to the doctor. She prescribed an antibiotic and I felt better after a few days. Part of me suspected this product, but part of me thought that was silly. Who is allergic to nail polish???
This last time I did my nails, I actually wore a bandana over my nose & mouth and safety glasses. Sure enough, after a few minutes, I started wheezing, my eyes got bloodshot, and my sinuses got congested. I'm super bummed because I finally got the hang of doing this well. I have to throw the kit out. My reactions are getting worse each time I do my nails.
On a side note, I do have minor allergies to some laundry soap, costume jewelry, and mild hay fever. I have NEVER had a reaction like this before.
