Sally Hansen -Miracle Gel -Let's Get Digital -0.5 -fl oz

Comment

I received the top coat to try at no charge and thought I could use with any polish but it is a two step item and so I had to go back and buy the colored polish for it. I was a little shocked that Sally Hansen was almost $8 a bottle but I bought it anyway. Wal-mart didnt have alot of color selection and I didnt really like the color I got. Later of course they had restocked and had some nice colors. It says apply two coats of the color then the top coat. It says it lasts 14 days. On me in about three days there was a small wear line at the top of my nails. I had done dishes so I expected worse. It held up better than regular polish. It didnt chip just a wear line is how I would describe it. I then wore it for a week. It held up pretty good for not having to use a light to dry it. I have never used the light so I cannot compare to that. The polish seemed a little soft even after it dried and did take on some indentions but didnt chip. By the end of the week I took it off.

Because I have quite a collection of various brands of nail polish, I thought I would try this gel top coat over a silver polish that was NOT Sally Hansen brand nor was it a gel. The first try was not very successful. I put on one thin coat of the silver polish and waited for about 10 minutes for it dry, then applied the gel top coat. The polish immediately thinned out and pooled around my cuticle. It left the polish looking streaky and see-thru in spots. I tried it again on the other hand with the same silver polish and waited about 45 minutes to dry before adding the gel top coat and I got the same results. The pictures show one nail before the top coat was applied and the same nail (10 minutes later) with the top coat. It dried quickly and looks shiny. I decided to leave the polish as is just to see how long it would last. I left it on for 7 days and Ive been doing all of my normal activities (laundry, cleaning, shopping, typing, etc.) and there are no chips in the polish. I just removed the polish from both nails with 100% Acetone and it came right off with one wipe. I will definitely try this again with some other brands and colors (and eventually Sally Hansen Gel) and maybe try putting on a thicker coat of base polish. I didnt test this for the full 14 days, but other than experimenting with the polish itself, getting 7 days out of a manicure is pretty great! See more

This review is for the miracle gel nail color in Wine Stock used with the Miracle Gel top coat. Regular Gel nail polish has been around awhile in nail salons and, in homes more recently, and requires the use of a uv lamp to "cure" or harden the polish dry. This nail polish is unique in that it boasts the features of gel nail polish without the need of a special uv lamp to cure the polish. Finishing your nail polish with the Miracle Gel top coat sets the polish instead of putting your hand under a special light. Sally Hansen advertises up to 14 days of color and shine and easy removal with this product. I found application to be difficult with this product. The brush is wide which could mean a quicker application for some but I found to hard to apply and not get polish on my finger on the sides of my nail. I could not get adequate coverage with only two coats of the color as the instructions say to do. I had to apply three coats of the wine stock color and even then coverage was not completely even. The nail area closest to the cuticle was just slightly lighter than the middle and top part of the nail which bothered me a just a tiny bit. So three coats of color plus the top coat is four coats total and that equals a lot of drying time. The finish with three coats of wine stock and the top coat was very pretty and had a nice shine to it. I had small chipping on the top edge of the nail the next day after application. Removal was very easy for me, just like removing regular polish. I wouldnt recommend this product so far but I have only tried the Wine Stock color. I always get chips at the tops of my nail and still had it happen the next day with this polish. The finish was shiny and felt hard like gel polish, but plain old fast dry top coats also give me a similar finish with less application time. See more

I got this as a result of all the reviews i read..i am so dissapointed..its not cheap and not worth it.after 3 days the nail polish chipped of the top and on one nail half of the paint is gone. i attache a pic.Followed the instructions to the tee.i do my own nails and i do the same thing even add a base coat before polish but this time i didn t as per instructions.I have 20 opi nail colors and i can tell you that the apple red holds off way more.I have a toddler and i do a lot with my hands and i was really hoping this gel was it!it wasn t...i ll never buy it again bcoz it is expensive and not worth it,:( See more

I wanted to try the gel nail polish to see if it lasts as long as it advertise. Unfortunately it does not. I am rough on my hands and wanted a nail polish that would last more than a week. This nail polish did not. I am disappointed but Im not sure if this is just this brand or all gel brands. On a good note the color is perfect for the fall/winter season. Its great! The name of the color is a little deceiving...its like a brick red in my opinion.
