Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat Review

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 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'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.
