Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat Review

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 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

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 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.

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.

This top coat is the only top coat I use. It comes in a blacked out bottle and the brush is flat and perfect and really coats the nail well. The best thing is that this doesn't require a UV light to set, it sets in natural day light. Seriously amazing.

The polish is clear, as most top coats are. I find this works best with the other Sally Hansen gel polishes, but you can also use this on other polishes and I have found it makes them last just that little bit longer.

I find that this polish doesn't chip either, rather it peels. It's slightly annoying but I'll get over it because it leaves my nails bright, shiny and with this top coat I find my nails have lasted almost 2 weeks without any chips/peeling. It's seriously amazing, and I'm not breaking up with it, ever!!

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'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.

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!

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.
