Birthday Suit

I picked up this product up in the duo pack from Farmers for $20. I love that you can pick them up in the set and then buy individual colours as well. I picked up the colour Birthday Suit as it is a very neutral creamy nude which I love to wear for long wearing nail polish as it goes with any outfit I might wear for work during the week.

I love the brush that these have. It is a bit flatter and wider than the usual nail polish brushes that I am used to. But I found that it made it a lot quicker to apply due to the brush being able to get the colour across the nail quicker. I didn't have any problems with the drying time of this nail polish. I made sure to do nice thin coats. My main problem with this nail polish is that it is incredibly streaky. It takes a good 3 to 4 coats of this to get an even opaque application of colour. Then apply the top coat. I didn't notice anything special about the top coat.

The lasting power of this nail polish is great! BUT it isn't 2 weeks. I find that I can get to around 6-7 days with this before it starts chipping around the edges.

So overall I would still recommend this product as it has a much better lasting power than any I have tried before.

My All time FAV

I have so much fantastic things to say about this polish I don't know where to begin. Firstly It is affordable, expecially for the quality of the product. It comes in many beautiful shades AND no lamp is required to set it just the top coat and natural light voila...

So the drill with this is you apply two coats of colour and one of top coat.. (dry between layers) Don't be too concerned about lines in the colour because once you put the top coat on BOOM, it looks as smoooooth as a babys bottom. So flawless looking...

The bottles are of great size and as i have one particular favorite colour that my mother likes too, it's lasting well considering.

Also the brush inside is not like a normal polish brush the brush is wider and I find i can paint the whole nail in two strokes! One if i am super lucky and careful about it. I find this so easy to use and gives such wonderful results...

The polish lasts well also, apart from the usual wear and tear as expected from scrubbing dishes etc (housewife here) The colour lasts longer than that of a regular polish, expecially on toes.

Ultimately I am super super pleased with this product and I can't wait to buy more with a farmers voucher i am anticipating for christmas :P

Finally a nail polish that sticks to my nails

I have a few of these sets now and love them!

The bottles are cute. I like the shape. They are easy to hold. The lid has a kind of rubber texture which is fantastic. Means you can easily hold and twist the lids. The brushes are amazing! I love the flat shape of them! Makes it so much faster to apply the colour. The texture of the polish is smooth. It's not thick and gluggy. I really love the texture. Easy to apply. To drys really really quick as well.

I always apply two coats of the colour. Waiting until each layer is dry and finish with the top coat. I absolutely love how shiny my nails look at the end. Now the colour sticks to my nails and doesn't chip. Normal polish will come off the same day or definitely the next for me. It annoys the heck out of me seeing beautiful polishes and going to the effort of buying, and applying them for them to come right off! Not any more though. Thanks Sally Hanson!!

I was even given these wee shapes that are a thin card. I stick them onto the nail when the polish is still wet, then apply the top coat. These things won't come off!!! Now that's definitely a first for me.

Tough as nails!

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!

Tips: Own every colour! This is amazing

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!

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.

Yes Sally! We have a winner!!

There is very little I don't love about these polishes. They come in a large range of colors, which is ever expanding. I have Street Flair, Hunger Flames, Game of Chromes, Pink Tank, and Mad Women, plus two top coats. I am also looking to get a black and white, as they are the best lasting polishes I own.

The brush is my favorite thing, and it seems everyone is jumping on the same sort of brush as well. They are flat and wide, rather than thin and skinny like they used to be. They are AMAZING. I can cover a nail in two strokes if I wished, but I always do three, one down the middle and one on either side. I find it provides the best coverage with little to no stuff ups on my part.

The formula is a thick kind of runny. It doesn't dry out as you paint, like some formulas which is awesome. The next best thing about this polish? The staying power. I've managed to get 2 weeks wear out of one polish without topping up with a top coat. 2 WEEKS! For a polish that you can buy at Farmers or wherever, I'm blown away. I love this stuff. I also found that the drying time was cut in half - which is another bonus. A super quick drying polish that lasts for 2 weeks? You must be cray.

The only thing I don't like is the fact it makes my nails peel - I have weak nails anyway but this makes them go super peely. If they didn't peel, I'm almost positive I could get an extra 2 weeks wear out of it. I would definitely buy these again, and I am open for donations of them ;-)

Tidal Wave

I picked up the colour tidal wave online after not seeing it in stores anywhere. This blue is AH MAZE ING! It is a brilliant, cobalt blue and after two coats, the colour is perfect. I've bought other nail polishes this shade and they've taken upto four coats to get even coverage, but not with this one. Two coats, and its perfect.

I'm now on day seven of wearing this colour and the only chip is from when I dropped a dumbell on my nail at the gym yesterday. I kid you not. Aside from the pain, my perfect nail is now chipped. But that was an accident. The rest of the wear is just the tips are starting to get a little worn from typing all the time.

I've had salon gel polishes in this shade before but they've never looked this good or lasted this well.

As for the brush, the packaging etc, its quality. The wide brush means application is flawless and I hardly get any product on the skin around my nails.

Tips: Pair it with the Sally Hansen Gel Polish top coat for the best results
