Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat Review

I'm a basic chick who doesn't normally have the full set for manicures however BR has changed thst for the better. Top coat arrrgh who needs it right? Wrong. I snatched this up in the beauty vault what another win win purchase. A black incased bottle with a white tipped handle. Almost tricking you into thinking it's a black polish. This is a gel effect top coat that doesn't need any lamps to cure. Wow right? The brush is a firm plastic wide tip that's not such a bristle type rather a flat tipped applicator that easily applies the coat onto the nails in one go. This brush type is so user friendly it also picks up alot of product so less is more. Once you apply this to your final coat of colour it works it's wonders immediately & your polish is dry in super fast time. So effective & efficient, such a good first time impression for someone who's never owned or personally used a top coat. I'll always go back to this topcoat from now on because of the lasting impression it's given me. The fact the less is more indicates how much use this wee bottle of magic has in it.

This prevents any chipping all I found is the colour peels of in one piece or snaps to peel of unevenly still this can all be done without any use of polish remover, probably not good practice. I did it though without any chipping effects. I believe the purchase of this has seen the days of visiting the local nail bar put on hold of it's pro performance.

I do love this. I love the shape and feel of the bottle, it looks like it should be stupidly expensive just from the appearance. I still don't like the brush all that much, but the actual top coat makes up for that. It dries surprisingly quickly, and is one of the shiniest top coats I've ever used. I would say this helps me to get an extra couple of days out of my polish, so it's not miraculous in that sense, but it really does make my nails look gorgeous when I use it.

This is pretty near a miracle top coat: I chip nailpolish so quickly, no matter what type I use, and up until I got this I was just resigned to my polish only lasting a couple of days before I'd have to change it. Now, however, I can get up to a week out of an average polish, and if I use this in conjunction with the coloured Miracle Gel polishes, even longer than that.

The polish comes in a black glass bottle with a nice sized easy to grip top. The brush is quite wide and flat, which I love, as it means I can coat my nails in one or two strokes, and the polish is dispersed evenly and quickly.

While this isn't a quick-drying topcoat, it really doesn't take too long to dry. Natural light is best, as it cures the polish and ensures it will in fact last as long as it says. It leaves a super super glossy finish; definitely reminiscent of a 'proper' gel manicure, and stays glossy until it comes off.

When this does finally begin to show wear, it peels rather than chips off. However by the time it gets to that point I'm usually ready to change colours anyway, and it's very easily removable with normal nail polish remover.

Overall, I really love this top coat. It extends wear amazingly, can be used over any nail polish, and looks stunning and shiny. Love!

I bought this amazing gel top coat along with a couple of gel colours and I will honestly say that it was the best thing I have done for my nails in a long time. You have to make sure you are picking the top coat as it is in a black bottle and you might mistake it for the black gel colour. After I have applied the gel colour and it has dried, I put a coat of the gel top coat on. The brush is the best I have ever used, it has a flat stem and a nice wide brush which applies the polish easily. It dries pretty quickley and leaves an awesome shine. If I am careful my polish will last a good week, which for me is fabulous.

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.

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 brought this to go with my coral coloured gel polish. It apply easily and drys really fast.

The finished product is super glossy which I love but still strong and can withstand a week of all the normal mummy duties.

I like the black bottle and design and would definitely consider purchasing it again

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.

I bought this after reading a few reviews and have mixed feeling on this one. Firstly I bought from a nail bar and cost was $ 13 which I was really pleased with. I like the black bottle but with the availability of black nail polish you need to be very careful you get the right product. I applied my usual polish and let dry really well prior to applying the top coat after reading the other reviews. Yes I also love the brush in this product -lovely and wide and easy to use however even though my nail polish was well set it still picked up the colour and stained the brush which is why I have reservations and gave a 4. The end result was an amazing shine on my nails and I received a lot of compliments on the finish however I do use a computer all day and after 3 days the ends were all chipped. Maybe I am applying wrong and need more practice however I would purchase again and perhaps try another product next time as a comparison

The Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat has been my go-to top coat for about a year now! I love it so much.

I only have several of the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colours and the top coat makes them last for about two weeks which is a heck of a lot longer than any of my other nail polishes!

I also like to use this top coat over my other brands of normal nail polish and I find that they last longer than when I use a regular top coat.

The brush is flat and nice and wide meaning that I can cover almost my whole nail in one swipe which is great.

My only negative about this product is that after about 8 months, the brush has started to fall apart, making application difficult.
