I got these gel polishes in late 2014 but I am so very late in sharing the swatches here because I did not have a working UV nail lamp at the time. This post is hence super delayed!

| Revel Nail - Soak Off Gel Polish Review & Swatches |
Anyhow, as they say better late than never. Revel Nail Soak Off Gel polishes that I am sharing were launched last year as part of the winter collection of 2014. The shades are all awesome fall shades but can actually be worn year around.
I got 8 polishes, a base coat and a top coat. As per the instructions that came with these polishes they are to be cured under a 36 W UV nail lamp for about 2 minutes per coat. But I found these take longer to cure. The base coat itself took around 4 minutes to dry completely followed by approximately the same time for each individual coat.

Now lets get right down to the shades I got.
First up are Bonfire and Kodie. Bonfire is a gorgeous coral brick color. It is creamy in texture and a great color to wear year around. Kodie is a bright frosty blue (I just realized the pic cropping cut off most of my thumb swatch!)

Next up are two shimmer polishes. Please note all my swatches are after a single coat of the gel polish. This is to give you an idea of the opacity. The shimmer polishes are the least opaque of the lot as expected. Disco is a silver holo glitter topper polish with a clear base. To show you the effect I have used it on top of a plain silver polish. This polish can be used to top off any plain polish to add just some holographic shimmer to it.
Incline is a olive black based shimmer polish with golden shimmer in it. This one looks very pretty in person and is a gorgeous party shade.
