Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish Review

I was so excited to try this nail polish, so I rushed to get it as soon as it came out. I am a huge fan of Sally Hansen nail polishes and this one certainly doesn't disappoint! I've always wanted to try gel polish, but just couldn't justify forking out the dosh to get my nail done because my nails grow fast and I felt it would be a waste. So I was super excited to snatch this duo pack up for $15 at farmers, and at the time it was also 25% off. But I think $20 full price is a good deal.

Firstly, I am totally impressed with this nail polish. It lasted the 14 day test, with minimal chipping and wear. I applied two coats and I only got one small chip on the corner of one of my index fingers and a little bit of tip wear on my other fingers. You could even see my regrowth come through and that was the only reason why I removed the polish after about 18 days. If I didn't have bad regrowth I would have left it on for longer. It lasted a lot longer than normal polish and the colour or shine never faded.

The formula is smooth and easy to apply. It applies with no streaks and no tackiness. The brush is flat, rather than rounded, which also makes it easier to apply as you can coat your nail more evenly in less strokes. The brush is also quite large and flat which I like as it means the polish covers more of your nail. I can easily apply the polish in three strokes on my nail.

I was a little skeptical about trying this because I wasn't convinced that this nail polish would mimic the gel polish look without a UV or LED light. But I was proved wrong. The gloss was fantastic, really shiny and I loved the baby pink colour of pinky rings the colour I got. I didn't use a base coat like I usually do and surprisingly this polish was really easy to remove. The texture of this polish was a bit thicker than normal polish, but that was expected.

Over all I am loving this nail polish and am super impressed with the results. It was easy to use and is an affordable price, I would defiantly recommend buying it.

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!

Fab range of colours at a reasonable cost i usually buy o special. The lighter colours dont apply as well as the darker colours and seem to streak! Best not to apply too much product as it goes on a bit gloopy. I apply 2 coats letting them dry in between using a cheapo nail dryer which is ok but its easy to scag your nails if your too impatient and dont let them dry properly so allow yourself plenty of time. I apply a third clear top coat to finish off. The finish is lovely prefer the gel but takes longer to dry but looks more professional. My nails probably last up to a week before chipping but that all depends on what ive been doing
