Sally HansenMiracle Gel Nail Polish, 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

beau

Diesen Nagellack sollte man 2 x auftragen. Nach der Gelschicht hält er dann sehr lange (bei mir über 3 Wochen), bleibt glänzend und schimmernd. Einfach super

I love this so much I accidentally bought it twice!I bought my first Miracle Gel nail polish when I saw a pretty teal color around Easter time last year and then I realized I had to buy Step 2 also, but the color was so pretty I bought both.This particular review is about this lovely dark green shade. I thought it went on as smoothly as any of the Miracle Gels I’ve used before, and covered nicely in two coats. It could ALMOST have been one cost but the color is so dark that it was still visible that it was thin in some places. With the Step 2 coat that I put on top, this lasted me about a week before starting to chip. I used a sparkly gold/iridescent Step 2 and the one thing about doing that is it made the green seem even darker and at a glance it seemed more black than green. But I haven’t found a good medium green shade and this seemed good for Christmas, reminiscent of evergreens, so I’m still pretty happy with it.The one thing I have never loved about these Miracle Gels is that they don’t want you to bother with a base coat. They do go on well even without one, and they don’t stain my nails with their colors. But I still often use a base coat with them (Orly Top 2 Bottom is nice) and I feel like they’re a bit more resilient when I do. I have in the past misplaced my Step 2 and they seem to do OK with a different topcoat too, in a pinch.

It has a nice brush , it’s easier to use than other brands I’ve tried. The color has a nice shine to it and you really only need to use one coat.

I really like this polish and top coat. I don’t believe you get the 8 days they claim, at least not looking perfect but still better than most. It never chips for me, color seems to fade out from the tips of nails on me. I apply two coats of miracle gel color allowing to dry 10-15 minutes between each coat, then I apply two coats of the miracle gel top coat (shiny) also allowing at least 10 minutes between coats. Then I will usually apply another top coat several days later to try and help extend the wear. Picture is after two full days and still looking near perfect. For people who claim they are not getting even a few days of wear I wonder if they are applying two coats of each, or too thin or too thick and sloppy coats?
