3 days at least

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.

Staying power

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.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish

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

Tips: make sure when you buy the base you buy the top coat as well for a much better and much longer lasting polish

Finally a polish that stays

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!

Perfect at home alternative

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

Tips: Just do as the bottles say - 2 coats of colour, 1 coat of top coat and ta dah!

Good gel polish

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.

Nice!

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.

Super Glossy!

I brought this when I was trying to save some moolah for a trip away and had stopped going to get my gel manicures regularly. I found that the product dried very quickly, was highly pigmented and I loved the fact you didn't have to use a base coat! The colours are vibrant and once the top coat was applied super glossy! They lasted well but not as long as a gel manicure but much longer than my normal nail polishes. I love the product the only downfall is that my top coat when thick very quickly and I had to buy another bottle as it And an added bonus was the actual brush for the polish, it was wider than normal and made applying nail polish quick and easy, providing a streak-free and flawless application!

At home salon manicure!

I have myself quite a collection of Sally Hansen Gel polishes now with the most recent being the ones I got from the vault. Spice Age, Game of Chromes, Hunger Flames and another Gel Top Coat. I am so stoked with them because all of that reviewing paid off because I got myself some gorgeous polishes for nothing but shipping yay!

The colours are simply stunning! They are exactly what you see through the bottle. The shape of the bottle is so new and unlike any polish I know which sets it apart already. The size of it is actually bigger than alot of other polishes that are in the same price range. It's nice to know when you pay top dollar for something you get quality and quantity in one go. I am in love and adoration with the brush it has. It's quite flat but full at the same time. It means that I can get a fingernail done in two swipes! It means my big hands can control it and where I want the polish to go. With this brush it keeps getting polish on my fingers to a very minimum.

It actually annoys me that it takes so long to apply this polish according to the directions though thats the only downfall it has for me. It says to apply two coats of the polish and then a top coat. It takes a good five minutes to even be able to apply a second coat without it distorting. All up it takes me forty five minutes before I can even do anything where it could hurt the quality of the nail polish. Annoying!

After the huge amount of time to paint the stuff on the true test is ahead with the stay power and the promise of longer lasting, no chip wear. Bring it on! Three days in and it's still looking as perfect as the day I applied it, yussss! I am loving this so far. Seven days in I have a mere one chip because my puppy was playing a lil too rough so still good. It took a good two weeks before I even noticed my mani was looking shabby and needed to be done again. I like those odds! They are worth every bit of the $17 per bottle simply because of the stay power, never mind the fact that the colours are gorgeous and it goes on so smoothly. I am officially obsessed with Sally Hansen Gel Polishes and neeeed more colours now!

Tips: Follow the directions precisely to get maximum redults

Crazy in Love with these!

I was super excited to try these! I am new to using gel nail polishes. I have just started growing my nails out for the first time. (totally late of that wagon but yolo!) I decided to show off my grown nails using these miracle gel nail polishes by Sally Hansen. I have the shades Game Of Chromes, Hunger Flames, Crème De La Crème and Spice Age.

So far, so good. Very impressed by these polishes and they have very cute names! I adore the glossy gel finish and the colours are amazing to say the least! Most of the shades I have only need one coat and they look good. The shade Crème De La Crème needs more than 1 layer. For some reason it is funny when I apply it. It looks patchy and off. I have shaken the bottle and it has made no difference. That's the only one I have had an issue with.

The drying time is longer than I expected. Perhaps because it is a gel polish as opposed to your average nail polish. Also they chip easily, probably because I didn't use a top layer though.

Overall I'm very impressed and I would like to add more shades to my collection.

Tips: Use a top coat to prevent chipping.
