Sally Hansen Miracle Gel™, Get Mod and Shiny Top Coat Duo, Long Lasting, Gel-Like Formula, No UV Lamp Needed, Nail Polish Duo

Stays on without chipping!
I love this brand! This color is dark red, very classic color.

Very long lasting – dries slower than typical polish
My nails are brittle, thin, and shattering after a long term illness, so I purchased the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel line to see if I could strengthen my weak nails and keep them from painfully splitting, without needing to purchase a UV or LED polish setting light. This stuff really does work! The color I chose was perhaps not as sheer as I’d prefer, but I achieved good, even coverage with the recommended 2 thin coats, then “activated” by the clear shiny topcoat (they make a matte topcoat as well, if you prefer). As others have mentioned, this stuff takes longer to dry than conventional polish – and the topcoat needs several minutes to completely harden, so be patient for the final results!My first application lasted 8 days, with no chips or tip flaking at all! The only reason I removed the first application was the growing out bare nail at my cuticles just looked wrong to me (I would never be a candidate for a true gel nail manicure that lasts for weeks!). I didn’t “baby” my hands, and did all my usual laundry, hand dish washing, cooking, dog training, dog brushing and grooming, hair styling, turning over the compost bin in the back yard with the garden fork, and similar tasks that would cause conventional nail polish to flake off in under 6 hours. In all this activity, none of my nails cracked, split, or shattered – and retained their meager length. And the tips stayed chip free the entire time – over a week!I was able to easily remove the polish with conventional polish remover on a cotton ball or swab, no more or less difficult than conventional polish. This stuff lasts so well, I may purchase a few more sheer color options for my fingernails. I never wear bright, intense colors on my fingers (just my toes), so I’m unlikely to choose any of those options in the future.

No thanks
I love this color. It really is beautiful, but what actually comes in the mail is more white. It doesn’t look pink at all. It almost looks like chalk.

Better Than Regular Polish, Not As Good As Gel
I am comparing this product to salon gels and DIY gels that require a UV light for curing.I had liquid gels applied in a salon years ago until one nail tech retired, and another was fired. I started doing liquid gels at home when you could only get a light through a beauty supply place only available to professionals (my hairdresser got me the UV light), and I ordered my OPI gel polish online. Because of the time it took, I stopped doing my nails entirely. Eventually, Kiss and LA Nails started selling in Walmart, Walgreen’s etc., so I updated my UV light (that you could buy in the store) and started doing my own nails again.I had gels done professionally when my niece got married, and they used a dremel to remove my DIY gel. My nails never held gel after that.Doing my own gels was really time consuming at the time, and not holding well after the dremel fiasco, so eventually I stopped wearing polish, until recently. I missed having pretty nails, and unprotected, they were constantly breaking. So, not wanting the time it took to do gels previously, I tried Sally Hansen Miracle Gel.This applied like regular polish, and felt like regular polish, as opposed to gel. For my initial application, I followed the directions with no variations. I am hard on my nails (counting quarters from coin-op washers/dryers, cooking with knife slips, etc.), The polish was chipping, and peeling the weaker of my actual nails after 5 days.I researched Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Tips on YouTube, and found recommendations to do 2 coats color, 1 coat top coat, 1 coat color, 1 coat top coat. This lasted 8-9 days for the most part: my weaker nails chipped/split after 8-9 days. Again, it felt like regular nail polish. I was constantly worried that it would chip like regular polish.I went back to a DIY gel with a UV light cure, and the newer technology takes half of the time of the older DIY gel technology, and it FELT like gel: Hard and more sturdy than regular polish, but didn’t look thick at all.

Very good quality

I ordered and waited. Never received and got an alert that the item was returned and refunded. Well that’s interesting as it was never received and doubt it was sent. So big waste of time. I already have this nail polish from another seller and its the best.
