I do love this stuff. I have it in the colour 'creme de la creme', and have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed on my first time trying it. I couldn't get an even coverage no matter what I tried, so I wore it for a couple of days and took it off. I tried again a few days later, and left a lot more time between coats and managed to get a really nice even application. I think it's because of it being such a light colour, I need to try a darker shade. Wear time, I would say I go a few more days out of it than regular polish, so definitely worth using. I'm not a huge fan of the shape and size of the brush, it's a bit firm and short for my liking, but it did the trick and after a bit of getting used to I don't hate it. All in all a good product I think.

I brought this when I was trying to save some moolah for a trip away and had stopped going to get my gel manicures regularly. I found that the product dried very quickly, was highly pigmented and I loved the fact you didn't have to use a base coat! The colours are vibrant and once the top coat was applied super glossy! They lasted well but not as long as a gel manicure but much longer than my normal nail polishes. I love the product the only downfall is that my top coat when thick very quickly and I had to buy another bottle as it And an added bonus was the actual brush for the polish, it was wider than normal and made applying nail polish quick and easy, providing a streak-free and flawless application!
I gave these products a go as I hadn't tried Sally Hansen products before but I heard good things about these.
The polishes themselves are a good size, bigger than any other ones I have (OPI etc). The packaging is nice and the colours were accurate.
I purchased Pinkie Promise, a lovely baby pink shade and the Gel Top Coat. I found the brush was quite wide so applied very even coats with only 1-2 strokes. The gel itself dried quite quickly and easily lasted a week without chipping. The top coat sealed the nails nicely and helped the drying time.
These nail polishes provided lovely, bright colour that is easy to apply and lasts up to one week.
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!
I received some of these for xmas this past year and I was really excited to try this polish but it was not as good as I thought it would be,it chips off within two days and never really feels like a gel polish just regular nail polish.plus its expensive.
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 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 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
Didn't like this at all. It chipped after 2 hours of wearing, I bought the top coat too and didn't like it at all didn't work or do what it said it would.
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.
Tips: Make sure you use the top coat so it comes out shinier and it does last longer.
