Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish Review

My work mate knew I was looking for a nail polish that would last for more then 2 days before chipping. That's when she said to try the sally Hansen miracle gel range. When she said gel I straight away thought I would have to get the heat lamp to which my surprise it's a two step application and it dried on its own. The polish is quite thick but I think that's because it needs to be so it stays on for longer. I am very impressed as it lasted for about 5 days without chipping. I would definitely buy again

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 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 have this product in a few different colours. They all wear similarly. I always get at least a few days of wear before chipping starts. I think it has better stay power than other regular nail polish, even other Sally Hansen products, OPI, Essie etc. This is the only gel polish I've tried, so I can't compare that. For the price it's not bad. The formula can be quite thick, so you have to be careful not to apply thick coats or it takes too long to dry. It always looks very smooth and shiny.

I first picked this up in the Beauty Vault in the shade Pretty Piggy after hearing great things about the polish. I always find I get a maximum 2 days chip-free of polish, which suits me fine in the weekends but since I was going away on holiday I wanted something a little longer-wearing.

I like the brush of the polish, which is a bit wider than the usual polish brush. I found it applied polish well and pretty evenly. The formula itself is a lot thinner than I expected, so with one application of polish it looked quite streaky, two worked a charm to get a nice coverage.

I left it a while to dry however even when I felt like it was dry and applied the top coat it still picked up a little colour. I've put this on a few times and it happened each time so maybe I just need to wait THAT much longer before popping on a top coat.

I love the colour of 'Pretty Piggy', however it's lastability really didn't live up to it's claims. After 3 days I noticed it had begun receding from the tips of my nails, after 5 I gave up completely as it had continued to chip in places. It did last longer than my usual polish but unfortunately no where near as long as I expected.

I did repurchase this again in the shade 'Red Eye' which is a vibrant, true red, my favourite colour. The polish does give me good-looking colour for the couple of days I normally wear polish which for the time I need it is suitable for me.

I am absolutely terrible when it comes to nails polish. I put it on, wear it for one day, notice chips then start picking at it. This nail polish takes a lot longer to chip so I don't pick at it. I don't think it would last 14 days even for people who are good with nails but it is still worth the $16.99 in my books.

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 grabbed a few of these second hand (though practically brand new) off another BR member.

I was curious & excited as I love the lasting power of Gels.

Sadly I feel as though these are just like any other good quality nail polish.

I still average about 2 days wear before it's chipping & looking yukky.

I find the colour coat can be a little thin, so a couple of coats are definitely needed. Also top clear coat is essential to it drying properly. I tried it without the clear coat once as I was pushed for time & ended up wiping most of them off on a tissue about an hour later as it just didn't want to dry. It also comes off the clear coat brush, so that white brush now has a pink tinge to it...

I like the bottle shape. it's a great design to hold and the brush is nice and wide, so fewer strokes to get the coverage.

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.
