Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish Review

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.

I had big expectations with this products I unfortunately felt underwhelmed. The brush on mine where quite uneven so I didn't get straight lines. The colour came out very sheer and very streaky. It took quite a long time to set before I could put a second coat on. Longer then a normal posh. The top coat is the one that hardens faster with natural light, it did what is said it's meant too.

I picked ups duo set at the warehouse it came with clear coat. I was excited to try it because of all the great reviews about it.

I got Birthday suit which is a creamy white colour . Bottle shape is cool . Brush is full with bristles. Easy to read labelling. Consistency of the polish itself is quite thick .

First coat dries opaque. Second coat was still opaque. I put three coats on each nail . Took 25 minutes between the second and third coat.

I noticed it began to crack on the second day . It chipped of easily I couldn’t believe it. I was expecting it to last up to a week . I put the clear coat on top made no difference.

I’m hoping to try other colours for a different result. Hopefully I will have a better result.

Sally Hansen's products are amazing! Love the brush the polish comes on. Love the colours and love how long it lasts. Which for nail polish, it does last a while. I wouldn't say it's "GEL" polish though. As a Flight Attendant, this was the products only down fall for me. For nail polishes always chip off, this product is no different. Wish it was GEL because than I know, it would stay on, especially when I am working in the galleys at work.

I got this as a gift with purchase from our local Farmers store. It came as a two pack of step 1 gel colour and step 2 gel top coat. The colour is Flower Crown, a light pretty pink. I had never used gel nail colour on my nails before so I was interested in how it worked compared to standard nail colours. It was very easy to apply, with a nice long brush, I used two coats and waited for it to fully dry before applying the final top coat, which took a good 30mins to dry. I found it did last longer than normal polish, it started to chip after about a week of wearing so not to bad I guess. The pack I got also came with a remover pottle you just dip your nail in and twist to remove polish which works really well. I still use this polish regularly but prefer to just use nail polish on my toe nails so it's great on them and lasts weeks that way.

Nice easy and convenient polishes to get the gel look without the hassle of curing or a trip to get a manicure (or the cost!). I love Sally Hansen polishes, but find the colour range in the Miracle Gel Polish range pretty boring - nice colours, but nothing special.

Individually priced, they compare to other good quality polishes, but much better value to buy in a kid (colour + top coat). I do use the top coat over regular polishes too.

As with pretty much any polish I use, this starts to wear at the end of my acrylic nails after 4-5 days, but is easily freshened up with another coat of colour and topcoat.

I bought the "Get it Bright" pink shade which is lovely and bright, and opaque after 2 coats. The gel finish means you have to apply it in a reasonably thick coat to avoid streaks. After using the gel top coat it stays on without chipping for at least a week for me - in contrast to regular polish which for me chips after a day or two! I think it's definitely worth it and it retails at a reasonable price. Large selection of colours too

I had a few colours of this product at home and would always do pedicures. Looked amazing and lasted pretty well too!
