Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat Review

That is not a typo. The brush on this is awesome, three strokes and you're done. I usually use two coats of this however because I like a really glossy top coat and sometimes I feel the one coat just doesn't cut it.

My only real gripe is that even if your miracle gel colour coats are dry, this will pick up the colour again, so say if I've done a metallic feature nail with a plain colour on the rest and use the top coat on the metallic first, it will transfer bits of metallic to the other nails. I just work around this and do metallic nails last.

Lasts ages and ages. And works nicely with other polishes too.

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

The consistancy of this varnish combined with the size and shape of the brush, make application a breeze! One coat is all I need (it is pretty thick in itself), and it leaves me with shiny, protected nails. It looks like a salon finish.

I've definitely found that I get longer wear out of my colour with this top coat applied (about a week). It helps to prevent chipping, and when applied right away, it smooths out and fixes any imperfections.

I've used "gel" top coats before, and they were a nightmare to remove. I'm happy to say that this is not the case with Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel Top Coat.

I have found this to be a really good top coat on both the miracle gel nail polish as well as my regular nail polish. It increased my regular nail polish from like 2 days wear to closer to a week without chipping to pieces which is awesome!! I really like the brush it comes with as well its rounded and quite dense and I found it really easy to get a clean aplication. Overall it's a great top coat I will happily use again

I love to wear nail polish, but don't have time to do my nails more than once a week, and need polish that can last a week without chipping (chipped nails looks really unprofessional at work). I also don't want to spend money on a salon or deal with fiddly at home UV lamps that are pretty expensive. Id tried other at home gel nail polish (I remember trying the Avon one), but other than a glossy finish they were no longer lasting than other polishes. I was pleasantly surprised with Sally Hansen's version. If you are careful and really follow the instructions (two coats of the colour base coat, letting it thoroughly dry between each coat), and then let the UV top coat dry in natural UV light (you need to actually let your nails dry in bright daylight, thought direct sunlight isn't necessary) it'll last a good 10 days - and I was not particularly careful with my nails (plenty of picking out staples and spiral binding at work). However, if you don't follow the process (for example, I tried drying the top coat in artificial light at night) the finish looks the same but isn't as long lasting. Still far and away the best at home gel nail polish I've ever tried!

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.

Although i'm not a fan of the Sally Hansen gel colors nail polish, I do quite like the top coat.

I love the chunky flat brushes with this range, makes it quick, easy and fuss-free to apply this top coat. I will use this top coat with any nail color, and i've noticed that it preserves my nail job far better than other top coats that I have. In fact it's the best top coat that i'ver tried, the only thing is that it's not particularly quick drying.

I probably wouldn't repurchase this top-coat due to the price, unless it was on special. But I would recommend if you don't mind spending $17 on it.

I'll start off with the only complaint I have about this: Its bottle isn't transparent. I've only ever owned one other nail polish that didn't have a transparent bottle and I hate it. It's impossible to tell how much there's left and when you dip the brush in you don't know if it's just the tip that's dunked.

Aside from that though, I'm all praises! I use this on top of the miracle gel polish, and I put on two layers for extra shine. The finish is very glossy and hard, almost like a thick varnish. It really does look like a professional set of gel nails or even acrylics. Together, the miracle gel lasted more than a week before chipping around the edges and then a couple more days before I got annoyed with it. I've currently got pretty long nails and when I had on Mad woman and this top coat, I got asked if they were fakes or my actual nails.

Removing it was a breeze, the fact that it's 'gel' didn't make it any more stubborn. And when applying, the smell and drytime were both within the normal acceptable range. I've never tried this on top of a normal polish, because I feel like the formulation of this is specifically for the miracle gel polishes. So I wouldn't recommend trying this on any other type.
