Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat Review

I'm a long time gel manicure lover, spend my money with my fav nail techs but thought I'd heard such great things this was worth trying. Loves: price, colour selection, oacgaing, drying time, application No so much loves: just didn't last at all. I tried googling it, re do s , different ways of applying but I just couldn't make it work.

I got this in a set with the Flower Crown Gel color. This top coat gives my manicures I very shiny gel like finish. It smooths out over any of the streaks where I did multiple coats of color. The brush is wide and that makes it easier to apply in a couple strokes, which is a good thing considering how thick this top coat is. It takes longer to dry than other top coats and it can easily get imprints and dents on it while it's drying if your nails bump into or touch anything. The bottle is opaque and black which I don't know if it's to preserve the integrity of the product, but it's annoying as you tend to go through top coats and base coats quicker than colored polishes. And since you need this to go with the "miracle" gel line it's nice to see how much you have left in the bottle and the consistency before you start painting rather than halfway through your manicure. Aside from that pretty gel finish I'm not super keen on this top coat. It doesn't seem to make my manicure last longer and it peels off at the tips about two days after I did my mani. As much I like the shiny finish, also like convenience and my mani setting and drying quickly and not getting imprints in it. So I'm not so sure I'd be getting more of this.

I brought this nail polish as part of a set when these range first came out and I also got a coloured polish aswell.

This nail polish is a clear top coat, and comes in a black plastic bottle, with a plastic lid which twists off to show the nail polish brush attached (like most nail polish designs).

I have to admit I really like the brush on the nail polish. Its white in colour and It's quite wide and thick so two strokes and the whole nail is covered. Plus because the brush is thick it can hold a lot of polish so you don't get streaky dry marks.

The formula of these polish seems nice aswell, it's a nice consistency and is a clear transparent top coat. Once the nail polish dry, it does set like gel nail polish and wears like gel nailpolish so it wears for a good 3-4 days before it starts chipping. So far so good right?

Well unfortunately that's where all the good things stop because I hate this top coat with a passion.

I feel like the ingredients in this too coat are overly strong because when I actually put it on my nails, it strips the polish and leaves bald patches on my nails. It's not so bad when your nails are only one colour, but when I am making more details nail looks, these nail polish destroys it by Blurring lines, smudging colour and leave gaps with no polish at all.

When i do light thin coats, Sometimes my nails works out! But 95% of the time this ruins my nail looks an it's so frustrating so I will be throwing this out or passing it along to my sister.

This top coat comes in a black sally Hansen polish bottle with the band around the lid.

I like the bottles and brushes in the sally Hansen range as they are a nice shape and the brush is flat which makes the application easier.

The top coat gave my nails a fantastic gloss that I i loved.

Once my nails were polished and had the top coat on they looked fantastic I had really high hopes they looked great.

However I was really disappointed that my polished nails only lasted 4 days before they started chipping which was disappointed from a miracle gel.

i was looking good top coat and that time i saw good reviews regards of this product. so i bought it from farmers when they have some special on sally hansen products. i spent 10$ or 12$ couldn't remember properly.

i love the packaging and how looks the bottle even. nailpolish brush is also nice and wide which good. i swipe twice on my nails and i am done. product claim top coat gives you nice shiny nail, it does pretty much but not long last. after two days i couldn't see any shine on my nail. very disappointment. and i also notice cracks on top coat after couple of days which looks weird.

when i use it own, its damage my nail even.sometime i use top coat for base coat but you can't do with this product. pretty average top coat for me. i know it does provide pretty shine on nail but for couple of days.

i use couple of time and then after i am not reach that product any more so i didn't like it.

I picked up a Sally hansen Gel duo pack from The Warehouse. They had 25% off so I jumped at the opportunity to snap it up.Ive had my eyes on the Sally Hansen gel nail polishes for over a year. I had hyped myself up for something great.

The bottle itself is black . You can't see through it like mostclear coat polishes. I find the formula is slightly thicker than most clear coats. It has the normal chemical polish scent. It's tolerable.

Application I find really easy. The brush provided is full in bristles makes painting a breeze. I use about two to three coats . I find the waiting time in between coats is quite long compared to others I've used.

Results from using this is great looking nail polish for a top coat. It lasts me up to 3-4 days and starts to wear off. I think that's a decent wear time . I'm not sure about repurchasing as I don't like waiting a long time.It is priced fairly.

I got this in the last beauty vault from BR. I needed it to accompany the three colours I got. It promises to give the gel polish a coating and keep them strong and lasting for up to three weeks. This all sounds like music to my nail polish loving ears!

The design of the bottle is quite unique in that it's completely black. Normally the bottle is clear but not this one. I love the brush that come with the Gel Top Coat. It's very wide and thick. It means that I get the perfect coverage in just two swipes of the brush! It means that it saves me so much time.

The polish is clear as I would expect and quite thick. It isn't thin and dripping off the brush like alot of polishes can be like. I find it annoying however that the nail has to be pretty much completely dry to apply without it taking off the colour. It takes ten plus minutes to dry completely! That is far too time consuming to wait for if you ask me. It should be touch dry and then it would be good to go but nope!

The lasting power is something that still now makes me happy! It lasts for up to three weeks! It's all true and I get sick of the colour before it fades or chips. It means my polish lasts without me having to do touch ups in between.

The part that explains my three stars score was because after removing it my nails are very brittle and flake! My nails are so thin that they break with just a slight knock! My nails are in the worst condition they have been in ever. I assume it's taking the goodness out of them or just is so super strong that my nails peel with the polish. Either way my nails are horrible and this is all due to the Sally Hensen Miracle Gel Top Coat! No thanks.

I was really excited to use Sally Hansen's Gel Polishes as I love having my nails painted, I hate when they start chipping and I don't have time to re-paint my nails every couple of days.

The Miracle Gel definitely lasts a bit longer than standard nail polish but really only maybe a day more.

I do like the shine this top coat gives though, and it doesn't fade.

The bush is a reasonably big one, so you get a good amount to cover a full nail in one dip.

The handle is a biggish one which I find easier to hold.

I will keep using this - I'm going to give it a go over top of normal Nail polish on my next paint

I love this product, it is my favourite topcoat and use it over nail polishes that are gel. Its nice, shiny and looks really good as it brightens all colours. Definitely a great product.

This product is amazing.

Pop ontop of the miracle gel colours and your nails will look like you've stepped out of a salon with a professional gel nails.

This formula is the perfect top coat with several nail polishes. It makes the polish hard and shiny. I find with this top coat ontop of a regular nail polish that night chip within the day will last 1-2 weeks!

If you do use this ontop of regular nail polishes not just the Salley Hansen gel colours, make sure they are super dry or this can strip the colour off.

The brush I find quite bizzare, it's a clear nylon colour and just flat! Makes it a little hard to spread the product evenly over the nail.

The brush would be one of my dislikes and the smell! It's very over powering so much sure you're in a well ventilated area.

This product is fantastic and does a great job, just a couple of minor flaws.
