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 a few of these after reading online reviews (I had high expectations) I purchased: Top Coat, Get Mod (450), Birthday Suit (110), Pinky Promise (160) and Malibu Peach (380). My favourite is probably Pinky promise its similar to OPI Mod about you. The Good: These are amazingly easy to apply and remove (regular nail polish remover works like a dream), the look lovely and shiny when applied (not as glossy as gel from the salon though. They are a decent price for the quality and the colour range is very good - it's even better if you buy from the US.

The Bad: That being said, the polish did not perform as well as I expected it to! I followed the instructions religiously and had corners peeling after day two on my thumbs and index fingers :( I have kept trying to make these work because I bought so many. It definitely helps if you cap the edges of your nails and wait for each layer to dry. I have got them to last 5 days at most and thats witth reapplying to my index and thumb (the other nails seem to last fine!).

Overall: They last better than regular nail polish just not AS well as I'd hoped!

I own the colour Malibu Peach and the only reason I bought this nail polish was because of this colour. I didnt care about the long lasting power and magic gel polish, I just wanted Malibu Peach because I'd never seen such a beautiful peach in my life... Oh and I mention it long lasting as well as beautiful? :)

This nail polish colour applies smooth and sleek as you would typically expect from a Sally Hansen nail polish and the colour is quite opaque and pigmented. Its a burst a peach heaven with just one coat. I typically love 2 coats of any nail polish because I love an intense colour. The colour is not hard to apply, its not streaky and most of all its quick drying. By the time I've completed both hands the first hand is dry! A+ in my books.

The addition of the gel polish to this line is just amazing! Not only are getting intense colour from the nail polish but the gel is giving you a diamond shine and seals the nail polish to be long wearing. I'm quite harsh on my nail day to day and when I use this nail polish combination I get at least 10 days with chip free nails and the colour is as intense as when I first applied it. It doesnt quite last me 14 days but on day 14 my nails are looking much better with only minor chips then it wouldve with a regular nail polish. The only slight negative is that I find the gel take long to dry but thats just because I'm impatient and have the attention span of a flea :)

I also love that this nail polish and gel are easy to remove with a regular nail polish remover. You would think you need a tank of remover to remove all the layers of nail polish you applied but just a few swipes and the nail polish is completely gone.

Do I love it? YES! Will I keep buying this? You bet I will! And do I recommend each and every human own this nail polish? Heck yes! Go out and buy this!

I purchased these 2 colours as i already have all of the other shades from the original releases from last year. I will start with the different colours and application of each, then will get on to the polishes as a hole. "Game of Chromes" - one word LOVE! its the perfect glittery, without been glittery, sparkly gold. It applied like a dream, with only needing 1 coat instead of the 2-3 i would usually need with other colours. The glitter, which isnt a glitter, is more like sparkles, its so hard for me to find the words for what it looks like. This one is my FAVOURITE! "hunger Flames" - Purpley Pink and stunning! I had high hopes for this as i love Purple and it didnt disappoint. Application i used 2 coats to get that perfect base, it took about 15 minutes to dry, and the colour is nearly an exact match to what you see in the bottle. Now for the overall stuff. SH polishes have the best brushes, they are large enough that you really only need to swipe 3 times on each nail, for each coat, excluding pinky, which i used one swipe per coat. Drying time of both of these was 15 minutes max. Once the top coat is applied, my nails were shiny just like a decent Gel mani from a salon. The formula on these 2 in particular, are very different to the other ones i have. The polish itself is thin kind of like Orly and OPI, whereas the other more subtle shades (creme de la creme, Malibu peach etc) are in my opinion are more thick in texture. On my nails, these 2 colour lasted 9 days before fading at the tips, but please bear in mind that i use ISO and use my hands ALOT due to work. I think with all polishes, if you look after your hands and dont use ISO continuosly throughout the day, the colour would last MUCH longer. Removal, EASY! even GOC, its not chunky glitter, so is so simple to get off. do i reccommed? yes! I cant wait to get MORE of the new range, so these are a WIN!

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.

I bought 2 colours Street flair-a pretty lilac Tan-acious- a nude I followed the instructions and applied 2 coats of colour and then the top coat. The polish dried quite quickley and looked awesome with the top coat. Quite glossy. The test came when I went to work and did my usual stuff. I am happy to say it lasted 8 days. Wow! I was so pleased with this result. It comes off with your usual nail polish remover,so easy. I will be buying more amazing colours.

so i brought two colours and a top coat and iv got to say over any other gel polishes i have tried this one has got to be the best...they do come in some pretty cool colour i have got one called game of chromes...shimmering gold colour...this stuff stands up to the test and some pretty hard wear and tear...it dries quickly and with a top coat on it can last me up to 2 weeks with minimal chipping...comes off really easily with any normal nail polish remover and not any special gel polish remover. i would recommend this to anyone looking for a long lasting gel polish

This is a fantastic product! Using the polish and the gel top coat, I got over 10 days worth of perfect nail polish - a record for me. I have also used the gel top coat over non-gel polishes as I have so many, and even just using the top coat has made normal polishes last much longer than usual (around 7 days with minimal chipping). I'm so happy with this product and have been recommending it to all my friends. It also comes off really easily with any normal nail polish remover. There's lots of great colours and they just released some new winter ones - my favourite being Game of Chromes!

I love having my nails done nicely. BUT that usually means just having my nails filed and buffed neatly because I cannot be bothered having to touch up my nail polish every day or two. Thankfully I don't have that problem anymore. This polish comes in a great range of colours. Plus the fact you only need the colour and then the top coat is awesome - no base needed! I love the brush, instead of being rounded it is in a line which makes the polish so much easier and tidier to apply. It is also around the same price as normal nail polish - I don't know why anyone would use regular polish anymore :) xx

I have heard so many people talk about how great Sally Hansen nail polishes are and our nearest town doesn't stock Sally Hansen so I had to buy it online I brought the colour 'birthday suit' which true to its name is a nude colour. It's such a nice peachy pink colour a real nude colour.

The bottle is a big round bottle and the top is big and chunky making it easy to grip to apply. The brush is flat with the corners rounded off. I LOVE this, it makes applying it so easy it gets around the whole nail easily without painting half your finger (or am I just very clumsy?)

I applied 3 coats to get the shade I wanted, the first cost dried very fast the second coat took 30 mins and the third coat was 20 minutes and it still wasn't properly dried but I put a top coat on anyway and it seemed to dry it pretty quickly.

It lasted 4 days before it started to peel off which is ok but not the best I have experienced but I normally only ever put 2 coats on then a top coat so maybe that was why it didn't last as long. I am looking forward to buying more nail polishes in this range especially the brighter ones which might not need as many coats.
