Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish Review

I received some of these for xmas this past year and I was really excited to try this polish but it was not as good as I thought it would be,it chips off within two days and never really feels like a gel polish just regular nail polish.plus its expensive.

I purchased this from a bargain bin at an Australian pharmacy whilst on holiday as I thought it would be a good opportunity to test the waters with this particular product.

The shade itself is very shimmery and quite opaque, therefore only requiring a couple of light coats. It's also eyecatching yet subtle which makes it quite a versatile shade.

The brush is very flat and when combined with the thick formula of the polish makes for very easy application. Application is virtually mess free and I didn't find myself getting polish on my skin (a steady hand isn't my strong point!) as I do with other polishes. I wish more nail polishes came with similar brushes as I actually prefer the flatter style compared to the thinner brushes of other brands (e.g. OPI, Revlon). It also dried very quickly, hence it is great if you're in a rush.

My only downside with this polish was the longevity - despite the product being marketed as Sally Hansen's "ultimate chip-resistant nail polish", I encountered chips after 1-2 days. This was actually quite a lot less than other non-gel products I've used e.g. OPI, Revlon and ChiChi. I've also used Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy and had much better experience regarding chipping.

Despite the chips, I will likely try more shades in this range as the application is so simple and great when you're pressed for time.

Great product really but the price is just a bit crazy for a nail polish. The quality is amazing, so i'd recommend if you want to treat yourself - go pick a color that can be your classic nail polish go to. Long lasting nails when applied. Application is smooth but dried out after a few months in the bottle for me.

I gave these products a go as I hadn't tried Sally Hansen products before but I heard good things about these.

The polishes themselves are a good size, bigger than any other ones I have (OPI etc). The packaging is nice and the colours were accurate.

I purchased Pinkie Promise, a lovely baby pink shade and the Gel Top Coat. I found the brush was quite wide so applied very even coats with only 1-2 strokes. The gel itself dried quite quickly and easily lasted a week without chipping. The top coat sealed the nails nicely and helped the drying time.

These nail polishes provided lovely, bright colour that is easy to apply and lasts up to one week.

I have quite a few colours in this range now. The colours they have are all very cool and they are slowly bringing out more although not fast enough for me. For a gel polish this product is super easy to use and does not require uv light which is good. It goes on nice and smooth and the slightly angled brush helps to get to the edges without making a mess. It dries reasonably fast between coats so doesn't take too long for the whole process. My only negatives are that there's no way this lasts 14 days. While it does stay on a bit longer than regular polish I have had it chip the next day once or twice and usually always within a couple of days.

Overall, this nail polish is gorgeous. it is thick, covers well and has a really nice glossy gel look to it. It lasts better than regular nail polish, however for me it only last a week before it chips. I work on a computer, so nothing overly handsy... I would have expected it to last longer like it says!

I first picked this up in the Beauty Vault in the shade Pretty Piggy after hearing great things about the polish. I always find I get a maximum 2 days chip-free of polish, which suits me fine in the weekends but since I was going away on holiday I wanted something a little longer-wearing.

I like the brush of the polish, which is a bit wider than the usual polish brush. I found it applied polish well and pretty evenly. The formula itself is a lot thinner than I expected, so with one application of polish it looked quite streaky, two worked a charm to get a nice coverage.

I left it a while to dry however even when I felt like it was dry and applied the top coat it still picked up a little colour. I've put this on a few times and it happened each time so maybe I just need to wait THAT much longer before popping on a top coat.

I love the colour of 'Pretty Piggy', however it's lastability really didn't live up to it's claims. After 3 days I noticed it had begun receding from the tips of my nails, after 5 I gave up completely as it had continued to chip in places. It did last longer than my usual polish but unfortunately no where near as long as I expected.

I did repurchase this again in the shade 'Red Eye' which is a vibrant, true red, my favourite colour. The polish does give me good-looking colour for the couple of days I normally wear polish which for the time I need it is suitable for me.

I am absolutely terrible when it comes to nails polish. I put it on, wear it for one day, notice chips then start picking at it. This nail polish takes a lot longer to chip so I don't pick at it. I don't think it would last 14 days even for people who are good with nails but it is still worth the $16.99 in my books.

I brought this because I was heading away on holiday and thought it would be a perfect idea not having to worry about chipping nail polish. I got the colour Purplexed and it is such a beautiful colour I love it, but I was quite disappointed when I only got 3 days out of it. I put 2 coats on and one top coat and even swiping an extra bit on the tips and it started to chip on the third day and I am currently studying so wasn’t doing anything strenuous. However, the second go I made it to 5 days so maybe it was all about my technique. I really like the colours they are starting to bring out and will still use because they still last longer than ordinary nail polish. It is also easy to remove with nail polish remover so thats always a bonus.
