Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish Review

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.

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!

I have quite a few colours in this range now. The colours they have are all very cool and they are slowly bringing out more although not fast enough for me. For a gel polish this product is super easy to use and does not require uv light which is good. It goes on nice and smooth and the slightly angled brush helps to get to the edges without making a mess. It dries reasonably fast between coats so doesn't take too long for the whole process. My only negatives are that there's no way this lasts 14 days. While it does stay on a bit longer than regular polish I have had it chip the next day once or twice and usually always within a couple of days.

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.

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

Overall, this nail polish is gorgeous. it is thick, covers well and has a really nice glossy gel look to it. It lasts better than regular nail polish, however for me it only last a week before it chips. I work on a computer, so nothing overly handsy... I would have expected it to last longer like it says!

I received the shade Flower Crown and the Miracle Gel Top Coat in the Best of Summer Box. It's pretty, delicate shade of pastel pink with a mauve undertone. I really liked the color. The bottle is easy to grip and I liked the wide brush which makes it easier to paint your nails with fewer brush strokes. The polish went on smoothly but I did need at least two coats to get the color to show up enough. The time it took for it to dry was average but then of course it takes longer to set. Then I applied the top coat and it gave my manicure a very glossy finish that I really love. The first day I had good wear, second day I got a minor chip and the third day more chipping and from there my manicure got tackier. I was hoping this would last longer than my other polishes but I guess when you wash dishes, cook, clean and do housework then it's unlikely any nail polish will stay chip free for more than two days. I may or may not get more shades. I heard the darker shades reviewed better and I have the top coat that meant to be paired with this line of polish.

After hearing a lot of the ladies on here talk about how amazing these are, I went to Farmers and purchased the shade Street Flair.

Nail polish is one of those things that never, ever lasts on me. I am super rough with my hands and I am usually lucky to get 2 days wear out of a polish before it starts to chip.

These come with two bottles; one with the colour and the other is the gel top coat. You apply the colour like a regular polish and then once that is dry, you apply the top coat on the colour.

With these, I get about 3-5 days wear before they start to chip at the edges of my nails. This may not sound like a lot, but for me that is amazing! If you aren't so rough with your hands then I would imagine that this would last longer. For me, however, this is unheard of and these are way less expensive than an OPI polish.

I was so impressed with this that I now own 4 shades:

Street Flair - a pale, muted pastel purple,

Blacky O - A deep black,

Redgy - A vibrant, bright red,

Birthday Suit - a pale nude.

The two deeper shades (Blacky O and Redgy), are super pigmented and need only one coat of colour. The lighter shades (Street Flair and Birthday Suit), aren't as pigmented and need two coats to get a decent amount of colour.

Overall, I will definitely be purchasing more of these 9particularly in dark shades), as they are the longest wearing polish I have used thus far. I recommend them!

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.
